    It's been scientifically proven that Impulse Red Pearl is the best color so you're just grabbing at straws here.

    Lots of Radiant Red( the non metallic pearl red) around here( New England), as silver and white and black sand seem to be the most popular. One of my friends has a Desert Mica Sand colored truck but he bought it mostly for the options and because it was a Taco. The color he did not really care about.
    Very few of the Speedway Blue, though its a great color.
    Lots of the auto parts stores use 2wh drive Tacos in Impulse Red as delivery trucks.

    super white is the real deal, you just can't go wrong with white...i do like the desert sand mica thing tho, and the speedway blue is gorgeous. the silver looks alright, but i would never own a black truck because black is a pain to keep clean, and the reds i don't care much for, haven't seen a good looking one yet

    Yeah I feel the same way except the opposite. White is for fleet trucks and termite exterminators.

    Love Red, went out of my way to get one and waited 2 months.

    Personally, I have to agree with Viper 2 , don't really care for the 'appliance" white look, but they are popular. I too, looked all over the place for the particular non metalic red, Radiant Red. I love red cars and trucks.

    Trucks are like ice cream, different flavors for everyone. Having been in the automotive paint business, white and silver have always been very good sellers.

    Well, black could be a pain to keep clean, I agree. But its a truck, its suppose to be dirty. Also, when it is clean. Oh how beautiful it is.

    rmdo311, they are tough to keep clean, especially if you live near dirt roads. Being in the auto body business for lots of years, black was always a tough color to keep nice. Plus customers who had black were very fussy. With a lot of new products these days it is a bit easier, especially if you could get the customer to pay for good carnuba wax.

    Indigo Ink has to be the hardest color to keep clean, at least I seem to easily notice every speck of dust on it......which is quite a few lol

    White looks generic (to me). Black or any dark color for that matter looks good when you keep it clean. I've always liked silver. Although I've never cared much for red cars, I love the radiant red color of my truck.

    To each his (or her) own.

    i've never liked white cars either until i bought my truck, but just a stock white doesnt look all that good, i just love my white/black scheme i have going...and on that note, i also never liked yellow, i still dont, but i wouldnt change the color of my bike for anything

    Damn, Impulse is a close second to last. I do notice I don't see many of them on the road. Oh, and yes, I have Impulse Red. :D

    Not to many Impulse Red Taco's in my area. I do see some in fleet uses and have seen one or two on the road. They are outnumbered by the Radiant Red 9-1.
    I do have a Radiant Red 06, access cab and I try to take notice of Taco trks.

    Dust and scratches... Any little scratch is freaking magnified in black... Just found one to day on the passenger side read door. More than likely a product of my 4 yr old and to be expected. But damn, you can tell its there a mile away. With my wife's desert sand color, it hides those things well.

    Too bad I was DEAD set on my first black vehicle when I bought the truck. But don't regret it ONE bit. I have to convince myself that its a truck, dents and scratches give it personality.
