    That was my buddies truck. It was very tastefully done and I really liked that truck. It was even better once he put the supercharger on it! He has since gotten rid of it in favor of a Tundra, but it was one hell of a truck!

    I would vote for white in this thread also, so didn't vote. I think it's the worst color on a stock truck. It only looks good when modded with lots of black accents, and nothing but white and black on the truck. White might stay clean the longest, but when white finally gets dirty it looks horrible. Nothing worse looking than a really dirty white truck.

    Honestly, I think any color can look good in the right shade and bad in the wrong shade. I tend to like dark colors a lot more than light colors. For example; I don't like the speedway blue much at all, but opted for the darker nautical blue metallic when buying my new Tacoma. They're both blue, but worlds apart.

    no, spruce mica is the best lookin'. Looks black in low light, pops green in the sun. I get lots of good comments on it.

    Seems White/black/MGM are considered the best looking. Especially since white wasn't an option. lol

    black and mgm combined have less "ugly" votes than the next choice silver.

    It was a tossup between Desert Sand Mica and Speedway blue....ironic in many ways. Why you ask? Because Speedway Blue back in 05 was my favorite Taco color....and Mica...well that's my truck color...almost didn't buy mine because of it but it's growing on me...especially after I take all the chrome off and trim it in black.

    I wish they had the magnetic grey color out when I bought my taco. Every time I see one I'm jealous. I wanted black initially, but after washing my neighbors black truck numerous times i'm glad I didn't - they are a PITA to keep clean.
