    Ditto - I dig the SSM color personally. Looks good in all lighting conditions, easy to keep looking sharp - and looks clean when dirty, especially if you occasionally hit it with some clay/polish/wax and makes for a perfect canvass for black powder coated mods.

    I wanted quicksand and still prefer that color, but my wife really likes the cement and that was my second favorite choice. She got cement, I got TRD OR. Life is about compromises :D

    The nice thing is I generally don't see as many cements on the road since they've only been out for a year.

    Quicksand here, got it in February 16 and was the first to have it in my area for a long while but see a lot of them now. Ordered it sight unseen as there weren't any to see in a 100 mile radius.
    Then it showed up on the lot and I loved it.!!!!

    Love my Cavalry Blue. Wouldn't trade it for any other color. I get asked about the color almost every day when I'm out in it.

    That is a sharp color. Toyota did a phenomenal job recently with their color schemes. Inferno, Quicksand, Cement, Calvary are cool .

    I really wanted QS and to get a 4Runner in cement for my wife. Once I realized cement was no longer an option on T4r I decided to get it on the Taco and love it to death.

    There really isn’t a bad color on these trucks.

    When I bought my 2016, access cabs were in real short supply, I had a choice in the entire Western half of the country of, 2 silvers a white, and an Inferno. Not much for bland colors, and I had never had an orange vehicle, plus, I thought to my self, you don't see many orange trucks or cars, so Inferno it was. Six months later, orange every where. I was wishing I had held out for a Blazing Blue Pearl. Since then, the orange fad has seemed to die down, and I get so many complements. My favorite given by many is, "I don't like orange, but I like that orange!" OK? I guess it is like the Rolling Stones song, you can't always get what you want, but if you try sometime you find
    You get what you need!

    In 2011 when I bought my first Tacoma I chose MGM because you didn't see them around here. When I upgraded I stayed with MGM, but had a 6MT OR DCSB in Quicksand been available, I'd have done that.

    I regretted this color choice from the day I drove it off the lot. I somehow forgot that I only like to wash my trucks once a year. So this go around I went white and I love it.

    That photo would be epic if there was a Taco pulling the black truck on a 2nd trailer.

    Haha! The new Tacoma is NICE but it would have trouble pulling that trailer unloaded, let alone with anything on it up the 8% grade that truck walked up with the other truck on it.

    No regrets here. Nobody nearby had a Barcelona red so I found and bought it on the internet and drove 7 hours to pick it up. Sometimes I think about how it would look if I completely wrapped it in camouflage but then I sober up.

    How heavy is the trailer? I've pulled 7000lbs easily. And that's over multiple mountain passes

    I'm not sure to be honest. I drive the 8% grade on my way to work and the tacoma has to run in 3rd to stay @60, don't think I'd like to tow much up it besides my little tin boat or a light tent trailer.
