    Anything that's not spruce mica, b.c that's going to be the color of mine when it gets here. So the fewer the better :D.

    1. Black
    2. Magnetic Grey Metallic
    3. Nautical Blue Metallic

    Order of best colors...my preference would be Silver Streak Mica over the Nautical Blue as I will never own a blue truck however...the blue is a winner for sure and the silver is...well its just silver.

    I chose Nautical Blue, because that is the one I actually bought.

    almost got a black one tho

    Since I got the sport upgrade package with the shiny wheels I wanted a dark color truck. I don't think they look good with the lighter colors.

    3 month wait for a Tacoma??? Here in Cali I had my pic of anything I wanted. They drove my nautical blue 100 miles to get it to me but that's all the wait I had.

    Btw, your 12 offroad dc sb looks great in silver.
