    Do you need to know, or care?
    My 3rd Gen is MGM, 2nd Gen was MGM, wife's Mazda 3 is MGM. Do vehicles come in other colors? Looks like photoshop done on here.

    A back step for when I get older, Carhartt seatcovers, 4Runner wheels, Topper, and "tats all folks"! --for now!!
    Pick the color you (and if applicable-- your significant other ) like --then pick the model --then order the truck after you and dealer(s) agree on a price. I know this is unheard of in today's "gotta-have it-today" world, but you will have thought out your color and options choices -- and you will will end up with exactly what you wanted.
    If you can afford to flip vehicles like you change your clothes -- then this "advice" is worthless.
    I am getting a blue -- I JUST LIKE IT --and I have never had a very strong color like the blue. It will be fun shining that puppy after getting it dirty in the woods --hauling wood to heat my house. Plus I don't care a bit about resale value after surviving a plane crash this last summer! Life can be cut short!! I was lucky!

    Oh wait-- I did have a bright yellow VW rabbit diesel in 1981 (my first new car).

    If you are all up into black wheels, blacked out trim, etc etc, the quicksand can look pretty interesting.

    Will you like that after the trend is over? The clock is ticking, regardless of what all the cool kids are doing today.

    White can be complimented by any trim/wheel color choice. Including black if you must start there.

    You mentioned adding leather. Add whatever you want to a white outside. Quicksand, not so much.

    Quicksand was my #1 choice, but I wasn't going to buy a TRD to get a manual.

    Of the SR lineup, Silver Sky was my favorite color for the stock truck as it comes. I researched wheels and caps, then decided how I was going to build the truck. .. MGM ended up being the best fit for my choices in the end.

    I even passed up a good deal on a silver SR, just because I knew MGM would satisfy me even more in the long run.

    My vote goes to super white or quicksand. My first choice was quicksand but the wife hated it so I went with super white which was a close second. Happy with my choice.IMG_20161208_155058.jpg IMG_20161120_150057.jpg

    No particular reason. Sometimes what I do like isn't clear - but I always know when I don't like something.

    Now I know why I'll be getting a DCSBORM6 Inferno. Orange is not even on the list.

    I was always an MGM guy when I was looking at second gens. Then I saw a silver sky 3rd gen Off-Road and it caught my eye. It's a darker silver, kinda moody in low light, and the black fender flares break it up and match the bed and the wheels. It looks really good, I still look back at it every time I park, so I think I made the right choice. I don't think you could go wrong with MGM either.

    I was set on MGM or possibly inferno until we got to the lot. I knew the inferno would be a fad color for me and I would be sick of it after about a year or two. We saw a quicksand double cab, and the color really caught our eye. It is catchy, but more muted, not eye popping like inferno, but different enough that it isn't the usual tan color. We fell in love with the color, and have no regrets. The color changes hue and shade with the available light, and I really love enjoying the color without any metal flake. Yeah, black accents make the color pop a bit more, but even in stock form, it's pretty awesome. I like how it hides pollen, dirt, water spots pretty well too. I dig the desert/military tan color, and this color reminds me of those colors. Quicksand all the way!

    Black is a bitch. MGM is a bitch.

    Blue is cool.

    Inferno is nice.

    Quick sand is where it's at.

    How did I decide?
    Unique. It always looks clean. People ask me all the time about it. Black looks really good on it. I always know it's my truck in the parking lot. I have 4 more HP than every other color.

    I really wanted Inferno. They had one and it was the last day of the month. I told them the price shopping I did and the other dealer had silver "my favorite But, Ill take that orange one if you can meet my price" I got a great deal

    I live off of an unpaved private road. Quicksand is a close match to the dried mud that gets deposited on the truck so I went with that.road.jpg
