    I bought a Timberland Green truck and the paint is good, unlike the 08 black Prerunner I had. I am partial to green though since I am Irish.

    I freaking love my MGM!! I used to have Silver, but when that was totaled it came down to the Silver and MGM. I am so glad I choose MGM over Silver.

    I really like the Pyrite Mica, however, I went with white because it looks almost as good, and will still look good in a few years. White hides stratches, small dents and dings better than any other color, and a truck is going to get plenty of both; if you use it as a truck.

    silver will actually hide scratches better because the metal is a gray color underneath, also white gets dirty really easy and over time will turn to a yellow color if not treated well

    No way dude, I had a silver F150, just a tad darker than the Toyo Silver. When clean, you could see "spiderwebs" in the clear coat all over it. Also showed pine pollen like a crazy. White can be filthy, and you can't hardly tell, unless it is clay dust.

    My truck is a Dark grey and it shows every little scratch because all the scratches look white compared to the grey and it really sucks. the color looks really cool but if your planning on going in the hills and stuff then i dont suggest it because every little scrach stands out unless you have a fresh wax on it all the time.

    Magnetic gray would be my 1st choice. My 2nd choice would be Pyrite mica. Out of curiousity...does such an option exist as a DoubleCab 4x4 TRD Sport longbed in a 6-speed or are longbeds only available in automatics?
