    What's your favorite 3rd gen color? When I was shopping around, my choices in order were:

    1. Cement
    2. Super White
    3. Magnetic Grey Metallic

    We were originally planning on building out and ordering a Pro in Cement (best color ever), but we ended up buying a year and half early, so Pro was out of budget at the time. Ended up with MGM because it was on the lot and available at the price we were wanting to spend. Super White was about 2 weeks out after transport and had P&T package which we didn't really want/need. Afterwards, I think we made the right choice - Super White is sometimes a bit too "appliance white" and looks like a work truck, but sometimes can look really good after some mods. MGM has always been a good color.

    You can have two votes:
    1. Favorite Color
    2. If that was your first choice or if you ended up having a backup color or "settled"

    Cement would have been my first choice, but I couldn't justify the expense of a Pro. MGM was what I went to the dealership to buy, but ended up liking the SSM better because of the way the wheels and trim blend in with the color. I also feel the SSM will hide inevitable scratches and chips more easily.

    I don't own a 3rd gen but I really like the quicksand color . it reminds me of a Military tactical paint color

    I wanted Quicksand (main choice) or Blue (backup). They also didn't have a standard transmission on the lot to even test drive. So I ordered a quicksand and waited six weeks. I'm still in love and cant wait to have a reason to go out and drive it.

    It reminds me of old electronics and appliance beige. Definitely was not an option for me lol

    I have only liked it on Pro models, or somewhat highly modified Taco's. I've seen them out and about and definitely don't dig the average Quicksand.

    Cement was my favourite when it was first shown at the auto show, thinking Chicago? Whenever the hell the pro was revealed.
    Loved it but wasn't going to pay the 13k extra that a pro runs here in Canada just for a paint color.
    Prior to seeing the cement I loved the MGM.
    So I got a TRD off road in MGM, and now after seeing the cement in person at the toronto auto show and the dealer. I'm actually really happy I didn't get it.

    Its lighter in person than how it looked in person and I do not like it anymore lol.

    I do like the quicksand as well after seeing it in person but not for me. when it comes to vehicles I prefer more of a charcoal grey

    My Quicksand seems to change its shade it can have a darker tint or be super light tan. In person the quicksand looks really good!

    The quicksand would look awesome if it had a matte clear coat !!!

    I love it but I also think it depends on where you live lol.
    Here in the city and in Canada I don't think it would look as good but in a desert would look great.

    Either way its a nice paint, I love it, but not for me.

    Really liked the Quicksand after seeing some of the builds going on but I am very happy with the Super White. Also, SO said no to quicksand from the beginning as she said it always looked dirty

    Last 3 trucks have been silver and wanted black but know black is a fucking nightmare to take care of, so I ended up with MGM. I'll being going back to silver again on the next truck.
