    As the title days, I'm buying a Softopper and I like all 3 colours of course
    I have a black 2020 OR, since that pic was taken I've painted the grille black and added a c_ment_taco emblem overlay.

    Suggestions please!

    I think Gray or Tan would look great on your truck. I have the tan one on my white Tacoma. So far love it.

    Out of the 3 I'm definitely leaning most towards those two! I like the tan the best, I'm just a little torn on it it looks "out of place" on the black.

    White and tan is an awesome look!

    No matter what color you get, you will love it. One of the best things I bought for my truck.

    Go tan. They recommend not using the same color topper as your truck. I have a Quicksand and went black. The contrast looks great!

    Yeah I'm pumped, I'll probably eventually get a rack to go around it for lugging around the kayaks.

    I'd go grey to accent with your grille and the writing on the bed

    Tan is my vote. I also voted with my dollars.

    DSC00125.jpg

    Just a couple other notes - having a tan topper makes my truck super easy to find, even in a packed parking lot - it's just more unique. One of the reasons I went for tan was that I plan on sleeping in the bed somewhat regularly (see my other posts) and tan will collect and radiate less heat from sunlight. I'm all about sleeping in a little longer in the morning..
