    Radiant red is in a class of its own baby :) BeachBoy, You're gonna tell me that my truck is not badass? :p

    I like colors that stand out, can't you tell? I was tossed up between the SWB and the Black and rad red when I was looking, but this truck had everything I wanted for the most part, so I bought.

    My least favorites would be Des Mica, Barc red, only because I think those colors belong on Camrys and Corollers, nothing wrong with them though

    as much as most girls care about cars, then i guess its good to have the truck they find pretty.

    None. Stock with options - Roof rack, running boards, hood scoop, etc.
    Speedway blue is definitely not ugly IMO, but it is too bright during the day. What is odd is that the x-runners look awesome in Spdway blue all the time. I don't know what it is... I just think I need get some mods for my truck. I totally agree with LIFESAFLAW about other colors. I see SILVERS everywhere !! That has got to be the most common color. Then Super white. Just my 2 cents

    i think the SWB gets darker or something when its washed. some pictures i see they almost look sky blue and other pictures, they look dark blue....either way, its shiny and sparkly.

    :anonymous: If I had to choose between no truck and the Silver Streak, I would go with NO TRUCK. Silver makes me wanna :puke: I HATE THE SILVER - think it's the ugliest color they make!!!!

    I might not really care for all the other colors (Pyrite and timberland), they are not worthy of the dislike I have for the silver.

    Sorry to all you Silver Lovers out there.... :crapstorm::crapstorm::crapstorm:

    Nothing against the color, but I like my trucks taller than I am. :) I'm only 5'6" LoL.

    I wasn't crazy about the blue but after seeing Lifesaflaw pics I had to reconsider.

    I think they are all good colors. Some look MUCH better after a few mod's. The white and blue by far look great after a few mods. Firefighter and Lifesaflaw have great looking trucks.
    I also like the black one in the picture at the top of the website.

    I think sometimes a secondary color makes or breaks the primary color.

    I like white with black, but not so much white with chrome. =/

    I think desert sand is a great color but my favorite is silver. White is nice but it makes the truck look too much like a work truck. Red and blue look great but they attract too much attention. Better to be low key especially with all the cities tying to extract more revenue from traffic violations. Black looks like crap unless it’s really clean. Pirite mica looks fantastic in real life. Grey is awesome also. Just my .02.

    i voted silver, not because i don't like it, but because it's so common. when i set out to get a tacoma, i was after Superwhite...until i pulled into a large dealer that had 20something tacos sitting out back, with a single SWB sitting there glowing like a bug zapper. that particular SWB truck now sits in my driveway :D i don't know why everyone hates on the Desert mica...i like it.

    desert sand and the old Radiant Red.

    SWB is a good color, but to me it looks the best on the x-runners.

    I actually have a jeep now. Imagine that.
    and the poll says they really don't like the blue. I'm an outgoing person, and figured my truck reflected that.

    This poll really isn't fair considering there are like 4 other colors missing.
