    There is at least one flaw with this chart and it sticks out to me because I have that color.
    Inferno was a PRO color in 2015, and it ran until 2016 to 2018 for others, you have it listed as 2016 to 2017.

    also pro colors come and go. but usually they are exclusive to that model year. if it drops off then either it was dropped or became a normal production color (inferno is a good example)

    edit : the unique color that is for that model year. white/black is exempt.

    I agree! Not sure where others here are coming from saying it doesn't... I've seen some pictures of Infernos here in TW that I thought was red... Not saying anything bad about it. I love the Inferno color and it was the color I almost bought! I ended up buying Cement and at the time I had never seen one around. Not the case now sadly!

    I see more any other colour than Barcelona Red in my town, even Inferno. Based on threads in this forum I see more posts in any other colour than Barcelona. Really I can't blame people for not buying many Barcelona Red trucks because even I didn't really like the colour until I found mine.

    Same. I came from an MGM. I lovvveed gray trucks. Even my F-150 was gray. My wife told me to get something different. I wanted Inferno, she picked out red. It grew on me, now I can see myself with any other color.

    Bro. Seriously? With all the cavalry blue hate that you have sprinkled all over TW, but you’d be all in on a banana taco? I guess different strokes for different folks. It’s all good if it’s a tacoma I guess. :thumbsup::bananadance:

    I think Cavalry blue looks like shit (in my opinion) but that doesn’t mean that those that like it are wrong. I’d rather look like a banana or a bumble driving around then settle for a color I don’t like!

    That’s the great thing about America. I get to do whatever the hell I want and not give a shit what others think about it. Merica!!!

    Larmo63 is right. Southern Ca ppl love white just like Japan. Not sure why. It’s an over saturated color around here. In contruction it’s even worse.
    Mine is Gunmetal grey which is not very common I’d say though red and that coffe cream color are the rarest in these parts.

    Note: White is best as far as cooler and maintaining. Shows less dirt, finger prints, scratches, dents and is 30 degrees cooler surface temperature than black.

    Black on the other hand looks the best shined and waxed BUT horrible to maintain. Shows lightest amount of dust daily, dirt and scratches stand out, surface temp will cook an egg in summer and finger print city even just opening and closing your doors
