    I love white vehicles, but if Cement was available as a Pro option when I purchased my truck I think I'd have gone for it!

    In order of your options:

    1. Cement
    2. QS
    3. CB

    I love Cavalry Blue but didn't think I would still love it in 5 years. I also loved the Quicksand but just didn't think it said "Robert". Cement was always my 1st choice and it is what I went with. I love the color. Have you ever considered White? White all blacked out is timely and will never go out of style.

    Screw worrying about what color to get. Buy a white one, and have it wrapped in any color you want. Heck change colors once a year. Even have a Christmas or New Year's color.

    You mentioned the unappealing grey cloth seats. Well whichever color you choose be sure to get the premium pkg if you don't want cloth seats. Premium comes with leather which if your prone to getting the interior dirty is definitely the way to go. :thumbsup:

    I say everyone should go with Premium Package. You get the leather, sun roof, JBL sound system, Automatic Headlights, Dual zone climate control, and heated seats. For just under $3,000 I say its fully worth it.

    I first test drove a cloth Tacoma and thought it all felt cheap and even the door felt tinny closing it. I went back to the dealer and sat in a leather Tacoma to give it a chance, day and night difference.

    The interior finish/bits are the same between cloth and leather TRD models, I have a TRD OR JBL/Premium which has cloth seats prior to the leather in 18, only update Toyota did was add leather to the seats for premium package.

    Yes and a wise decision that took too long to implement. Probably be 2025 before they decide to ad power seats.

    I'm getting closer to 30lb-ft but I condition the leather with mink oil regularly so...

    White.

    Lol

    The blues look bad, period. I’d not go with one.

    Cement is OK but its a metallic color.

    Quicksand is non-metallic but its clear coated. It should be single stage. I’m a single stage paint fan because its easier to detail and do any minor touch ups (which is why white is my fav).

    Quicksand is the best out if the three to keep looking nice and care for.

    This isn't me hatting on any color and I'm clearly biased because i have quicksand but quicksand looks the best. Just food for though and my opinion I think cavalry looks way better in person that it does in pictures. Cement looks great in pictures but not as good in person. Quicksand looks great in both!

    Its your preference, what ever make you smile while you look at your 40k truck in the morning lol.

    That's a tough choice Those are my 3 fav 3rd gen colors. I've seen all 3 built up really well. If it were me: Cement, Sandstone, Cavalry.

    Cement seems to go better with aftermarket stuff. Sandstone is awesome but a lot of stuff is a slightly different version of tan, so it clashes. Cavalry I like, but I don't know how hard it would be to re-sell.

    However...@Toynado 's truck always makes me wish I had a quicksand truck. It pleases the .mil/.gov part of me.
