    So I really like the Blue Ribbon Metalic color the 2014s come in but have the oppurtunity to buy a 2013 tacoma for a few thousand less. It is at a dealer about 45 minutes away and is apperently Nautical Blue. Since I haven't seen this color in person yet I was wondering if anyone could tell me what if any the differences were?

    I have the 2013' and it is more of a purpleish blue. If I had a choice, I like the 2014' better, but $2000 is a lot for a similar color.

    When you resell it 2014 will price higher than 2013. 2k for a color you like and 1 year newer I think its a better deal

    I traded in my '12 Nautical Blue for a '14 Blue Ribbon. Big difference in color, I absolutely love the new blue ribbon color. I looks better in person as opposed to what it looks like in some pictures.

    Here's my '12 AC Nautical Blue beside the '14...(kind of a bad pic because it was taken at night). The other is the new Blue Ribbon.

    take a look at the 2014 blue at night, I think it looks purple when no sunlight is on it.

    I just bought a 14 and if a 13 truck had been avail, I would have bought it. 13 has more options that the 14 gave up and the 13 has better finance options, not to mention the lower price!
