    I really didn't like Brocelona at first, but now I don't think I would want another color. In reality I think they all look good, I don't think I'd regret any color o_O

    I noticed Red and Blue clean up well though.

    I'm happy with my BBP now, but I always wanted a black vehicle since my teenage years. Never had one, and didn't have much of a choice until this vehicle. My old Acura was dying quick and I had to trade it in before it was worth nothing; so I went with the only off-road left in the area (there were plenty of sports left, lol). I got a good price, but it was still at the very highest of my range. Waiting, and paying for a possible rental was not worth it. It is a pretty blue tho :D. I'll just have to get a black daily driver once this guy is paid off in a few years.

    Same here. They could call it poop for all I care. I like the fact that this tan version has no metal flake in it and you get pure color.

    I have owned enough black vehicles to know I love them clean and hate them 6 minutes later when they aren't. When I first sat down with my salesperson my first comment was no black under any circumstances.

    Now one thing to consider is color matched flares vs the all black off road flares. I love my alpine white off-road with black flares, black mud guards and black hood deflector. White with color matched flares dont seem to work for me due to the lack of contrasting black trim.

    When placing my Order they only offered 2 color choices for an OR Manual with P&T, MGM or QS so I chose MGM.

    Super White FTW !!!!! Imo as to me the white is not only easy to maintain and for my eyes blends the best with the black trim , tires , etc. 040 white is the same as 2nd gen color code and FYI this is the only color that is a single stage paint. All the others have a clearcoat that is more prone to sun damage , without a higher degree of maintenance. The darker the color the more you work to keep it Cherry.

    :mudding:

    My 2 cents from oldman 808 from Hawaii !
    No matter what color you have if you like it enjoy it!

    You know dude, I was so set on the Blue at first but then ended up with another colour. The safer choice. I remember test driving the inferno first but never considered it a choice for me. Now after owning another safe choice colour I wish I had something that popped and was cool. Inferno is cool, everyone likes that colour and you got one.. I envy you going for something cool. Enjoy it, it's cooler than my truck.

    2016 blazing blue Tacoma TRD off road
    Silver was my first choice. Its great during the winter as it hides the salty slush that ends all over the truck.
    I got the blazing blue, which I actually do really like. It pops when its clean. But I notice Ford has almost the identical
    colour on their F150. But it looks awful in the winter.

    I went black again when I promised myself I wouldn't. It's my favorite vehicle color, but it's just such a nightmare to maintain. I don't regret it, but I also kind of wish I went with either the red or the gray.

    But man, when she's freshly polished and waxed... :cool:

    I wanted mine in blizzard blue pearl for my TRD off road but that color is hard to find in my area in the off road trim. There were quite a few sport trims in blue but I wanted an off road no matter the color.
    One of the dealers in my radius had a MGM TRD off road and I snatched it up. I have no regrets of purchasing my truck in metallic gray and this color actually looks really good with black rims over the other color choices.

    The best part about having a 3rd gen taco is that, they spend so much time at the dealership getting serviced, that you get to drive around loaner tacos in ALL of the colors!

    It's a pretty great deal when you think about it. They should add it to the commercials.

    Yeah since the 3rd gen tacos haven't been in existence for only a year and a couple months there is a lot of issues that need to be worked out since the model has been refreshed. That is why I waited until the 2017's rolled out when Toyota has fixed most of the issues.
    I heard to never buy the first model year of a redesign or refresh because there is going to be some bugs that need to be fixed by the engineers and manufacturers.

    My taco has over 5200 miles and had no issues with it so far. Fingers crossed.
