    Hi everyone ! I've been on the forum not too long ago ,but I've read alot of the thread about everything . My question is I've heard alot of you guys are in to Gray tacoma . Is there any reason why ? To be honest I am in the process of buying one too ,just we think we should wait till November to get one ,hopefully the 2014 comes out but then , I have three colors choice that I am leaning toward , Red, white and Grey . So while I am waiting till November ,I've spend sometime doing research what's the best ! By the time I am ready to pick mine up ,that would be no regret !

    It's just a preference man...you like what you like lol!

    I have a speedway blue Tacoma and most people don't like that color...I'm not sure for that reasoning either :eek:

    I hear they're almost as tough as black to keep clean, but when they are clean, oh man do they look sharp.

    Yeah and for some reason cameras just don't do the spruce justice. Love the way it pops in the sun.

    My new MGM is a pain to keep clean. Shows the dirt and minor scrathes a lot more than my previous Silver Streak Mica. If I could go back 6 months, I'd get silver instead. MGM is beautiful when clean but keeping it that way sure is a PIA.

    To be honest, there isn't a color the Tacoma comes in that I don't like. Even colors they don't use anymore like Speedway Blue, I'd have one in a heartbeat if it was a 4x4 and that's the only color I could get! I guess I wish the red wasn't as dark, wish they'd make it red and also offer a burgundy color instead of trying to combine the two. That's really my only complaint.

    The grey is a very nice color but personally I'm more partial to the spruce mica. Btw, 2014s start showing up around Mid September according to what I'm hearing.

    I really wanted a Speed way blue. but i like sliver, and in may of ’11 we found my truck an ’07 with 25k on it, and got a pretty good deal. I felt like it was a great deal and hard to pass up. It had everything i wanted/needed. TRD off road, 4wd, gray interior. so for the age of truck it has low miles, and all around greta condition.

    I've never had a grey car before so i wouldn't know how hard to keep them clean , I have a SW Toyota Sequoia ,they keep up with dust pretty well , i don't have to wash it very often but they're staying clean pretty good , on the other hand i had a black car ,it's really a PIA when it come to keep them clean . So you're saying it's pretty hard to keep the grey truck clean right ? so what's color would be the best to keep clean then ?

    MGM is easy to keep clean and as for the ,info scratches nothing like DuPont scrathnrepair to make them disappear
