    I like all those colors but am drawn to the Black Sand Pearl cuz that's what I have :rolleyes:
    If I didn't get Black, I would have gone with red. It's bold, but not too bold. Very attractive in my opinion, plus you don't have to worry about water spots.
    As for the bed, definitely get a long bed. The short beds look silly as the fender gets cut off by the cab. You also cannot do hardly anything with them, whether it be hauling or camping.
    Those are just my opinions, either way you can't go wrong with a Tacoma! :D

    I like the black sand pearl as well. What do you mean the fender gets cutoff by the cab?

    I think he means the way the fender looks it stops immediately where the cab starts. I agree it does look kinda funny, a lot of people like the short beds because they're easier to maneuver but I like the long bed better - looks more like a full size truck and the extra foot makes quite a bit of difference when it comes to hauling toys and other stuff around. Now I just need some toys :p

    White double cab short bed TRD offroad package. Hands down!!! That's the way to go!!!!

    White looks like best (IMO) and the shortbed gives you better maneuverability! To me, the longbed is too long for a compact truck. It's up in full size territory lengthwise and that's simply too long! (trust me, I have a crew cab Power Wagon, it's tough to fit a long truck on Jeep trails, and you drag belly a LOT!)

    Can't say about the sunroof, but leather seats are now a dealer-installed option, I don't know if they do it everywhere but the dealer here has leather seat option for about $1500

    why does this make you assume I want a car? Just because I like having a sunroof and comfy seats means I want a car?

    Toyota trucks are lacking in the creature comforts for sure. My tundra had a sticker of 42000 and had a regular cd player(no bluetooth) vinyl steering wheel, cloth seats that had plastic tracks.(constantly made noise) manual seat adjustment and so on... for that price I could get a fx4 f150 loaded to the gills!

    What is the widest and tallest tire you can fit on the trd sport 17" rims with just a 3"lift leveling kit and minimal rub? Has anyone done a 33x12.50 or a size about the same?
