    I'd get quicksand if and only if it came in a matte finish. If you vinyl wrapped the whole truck in clear matte 3m it would be gorgeous. Probably same with cement. But out of those three, cement has the best "long term" color. I think someone mentioned "fashionable" or "trendy" colors. Cement would last the longest. Also all the goodies and extras are easy to find in black, would match well.

    White would be the best color for resale/trade in value.

    New truck or old tan always looks cool.

    Based on these three photos, I'd pick Cement every time.

    I just couldn't drive/own a Periwinkle blue truck. Cement, or quicksand both great colors.

    That cement pro looks mean. Cement vote cast. Probably biased as a Silver owner...

    My plan is to keep it for a long time. I will be trading in our black FJ Cruiser which has been part of the family for 10 years. I choose black of Voodoo btw.
    Other family members will be my '84 LC (which would compliment quicksand) and my '77 Hilux. My daily driver is a white Subaru BRZ.

    Dude, it’s going to be your truck... if your concerned about resale, check one of the auto trader websites to determine if a particular color in your area sells for more than the other colors. Other than that, I’m not sure what a forum opinion is going to matter... image is in the eye of the beholder. I like all the available colors except white, but that’s just me...

    i agree here. when i was buying my 16 i looked at quicksand and had sunglasses on and it looked good then i took them off and saw just a beige truck. cement would be my pick between the colors you question. wish they offered black cherry.

    Quicksand reminds me of old beige station wagons and Calvary looks like smurf shit to anyone who isn’t a Toyota enthusiast.

    Cement is unique and cool AF but won’t be a pain in the ass the resell

    Quicksand looks like my prosthetic leg and I am afraid my petite wife (not reaching 5ft) will be bullied when driving a Smurf truck. Cement is in the lead. I am spending hours here, here and here lol

    All good colors.

    When I saw the Quicksand truck on the dealership lot, it was game over, no need to look further.

    Why not let fate decide?

    Write Q, C and B on three slips of paper, and put them in a hat.

    Whichever one you pick, buy that color.

    If I was in your position, I would do it.

    No takebacks, no two out of three, just buy that color.... really.

    Have fun, good luck, and welcome to the world of Tacomaworld.

    Cement and White were always my first color choice. However, when I saw the 2018 Calvary Pro at invoice it was a no brainer for me. Was it my first choice, no. But I really like it now that I own it. Also White/Cement are seen everywhere, and are 2 of the most popular color choices. Why not be different :)
