    I wanted silver but they had a white one that just arrived and at invoice cause someone ordered it then backed out.

    I already had 3 white Tacomas but they do look good in white n black like stormtrooper.

    Well, I opened the door and saw the red accents on door n dash and thought ehh don't love it but can live with it.

    Why red n black interior on a white truck? It be better on a black or red tacoma. I just hope the red don't fade to pink.

    A tire by BFG the KO2.

    It's probably the most popular tire for Tacomas here because it "looks cool"

    Mine are BFG Rugged Terrain T/A 265 65 17

    I think I'd rather have 16 in wheels w/ taller tire. Maybe 265 75 16?

    The 3 vehicles before my Tacoma were red, so I went with Barcelona Red. Almost got inferno. OP, your picture looks great. Don't second guess yourself on the color.

    My '12 is MGM. I really wanted Timberland Mica but they only made it in '11 I think and they had the yellowish-green color in '12 that I do not like as much. Meh, I still love my truck.

    Kinda wish I went with Barcelona red. Absolutely love my MGM. But every time I see Barcelona red I love the uniqueness.

    I think your inferno color looks awsome OP enjoy it! There's not many vehicles on the road that look like that, really gives it a unique look. I know there's many taco owners that would kill for that color

    My first choice was quicksand and super white was a close second. Ended up with super white because the wife hated quicksand. I have a tiny inkling of regret whenever I see a quicksand in person but then I see my truck in the driveway and forget all about it.IMG_20170103_121053.jpg

    Honestly, I like all the colors, I had a hard time picking a color when I ordered my 15.

    I drove all over to make sure I could see all the colors in person and not just on the web or in a brochure. Never trust ink over paint they don't alway match. I drove 2 hours each way twice to check colors and 8hour round trip to test drive a stick vs an auto. Too much cash to get it wrong in my opinion. In the end my perfect choice happened to be on my local lot. Got everything I wanted and luckily didn't have to wait for it to be built.

    I honestly think there are many good color choices. I was half in on so many of them that's why I had to drive and check each of them out. I loved the quicksand in the brochure until I saw one with winter road grime on it. Inferno was nice but didn't like the interior colored plastic. I love the red on the brochure front page but when I saw the Barcelona red in person I wasn't so keen on it. I was down to Mag grey, blue and white. Went white and love it. Glad I checked EVERYTHING out in person and super glad I drove the 8 hours to test the auto and stick back to back. I was all in for the stick until I drove it and realized the reach for the shifter was awkward for me. Glad I didn't screw that one up.

    White is a good safe color, can't go wrong. I had 4 white trucks.

    Easy to clean, easy to touch up, doesn't get as hot in sun.

    I'd never get a white or black truck, but that's just me. Some colors look good with dirt on them...some only look good clean

    I had a black car, beautiful when clean but you can see every imperfections. I wouldn't buy a black daily driver.

    Leave it Inferno as it's a beautiful color as it displays it's true colors in different lighting. Unique and a definite head turner when you pair it right. Don't ruin the factory paint with a wrap as no matter what, it will be ruined.

    I purchased a Radiant Red Tacoma because I wanted that color and nothing else. I haven't gotten sick of the color in almost 10 years but I know that my next vehicle will not be red. When the time comes to move on, I'll move on from the Radiant Red.

    Inferno looks like a custom paint job. It's really badass with some nice offroad tires and black out all chrome.
