    I vote for the pyrite. It was my first choice but I just couldn't find any with the options that I wanted. I think it's a fairly rare color so be different.

    I actually found this the hardest process when buying the Tacoma. I knew I wanted the truck but the color selection was so hard. All the colors look awesome. I have white and am pleased with it. It seems to really hide scratches pretty well.

    I voted white for obvious reasons :)

    Besides the fact that my truck is white, I think it looks sharp and hide scratches and marks the best. I specifically waited until I could get white before getting my Taco and I'm glad I did.

    The Timberland mica, although not on the list looks great. I just got mine on Sat and the sunny side has a green metallic look and the shaded side has a dark grey/green look. I have had a lot of compliments.
