    No regrets with mine. I love how the color will change depending on the lighting and I get compliments on it all the time.

    I love my Inferno and also get compliments often. And it does change colors depending on the amount of sunlight. My only complaint is it is hard to get pictures that really capture the inferno when it's really shining.

    No regrets. The moment I saw an inferno for the first time, my color decision was made.

    None needed.
    FACT- the number one color for resale value is...Yellow followed closely by Orange! The reason for this; these colors are limited production. If you want MGM (and I like that color) there a dime a dozen.

    If you don't like positive attention don't get the Inferno! I bought mine on 11/6/2015 and still get regular complements on the color of this truck. When the sun shines directly on this color it is spectacularly beautiful. You will be known as the guy with the orange truck, but in a positive way. My friends and family know my truck as the "Spicy Taco". My last new car was blue (favorite color); I was sick of it after 6 months. After 31 months I can say without doubt, I still love the color and truck, absolutely no regrets! The off road looks good in any color (but black). I'm going to have a hard time trading it in.
    P.S. I'm 51

    When I bought my truck Inferno was the only absolute No Go color for me. Ended up getting the color I really wanted which was Quicksand.

    I went down to FL to work hurricane Irma and did an insurance claim for a guy with an Inferno Orange Tacoma. Told him I liked his truck and had a Quicksand colored one back at home. He told me that the dealership tried to sell him a Tan truck and he just couldnt live with it LOL

    Everyone likes something different I guess. May depend on where you live though. I can see wanting a bright fun truck in FL. Here in WA neon orange would look ridiculous out in the woods.......wont get shot during duck/deer season though :D

    Almost a year running and I love the look of orange and black. At first I wasn’t totally sure but I wanted a stick shift and it was either inferno or blue. Now I love it. I have the black softopper and black sliders. I also got flat black trd off-road decals. I love the combo. Will prob. Take the chrome Tacoma badge off. I saw a cement one the other day and really liked it a lot and if I were to buy this year instead of last it would have been a tough decision. If it was manual as well.

    He asked for regrets from actual owners :facepalm:. So yeah you're not qualified and he didnt ask for opinions on the color. The blue you have Mark is so well recieved Toyota had to make a completely other color of blue :rofl:.I definitely regretted inferno when it was in stock form :puke:. Now at 2 years of ownership it is far from stock and finally getting to where it looks badass. Inferno is a color for people who have a vision of what it CAN be.

    Fourteen months ago the wife said lets go look for a new truck (had an eleven year old 06 Silver Pre-Runner). Wife saw the Inferno and immediately said that one. Salesman said they have only had three on the lot in the years the color had been available, so here locally it is unique. I was thinking the basic colors that I have always had, white or silver. I saw the Inferno and yes it was different and I liked it. At 62 years old it helps keep me thinking young. As other have said I get a lot of compliments on the look of the truck, so no regrets at all. Since I purchased my truck they only have had 4 more Inferno's on the lot. I see many Quicksand, MGM, Silver and White Tacoma's so when I see the Inferno in the parking lot there is no mistake in walking up to the wrong truck. :devil:

    I would have gotten cement, but that wasn't a 2017 OR color option. Not a huge fan of quicksand (Subaru's khaki is better imo) so that eliminated two of the three "non-boring" colors.

    "Another White", "Ford Blue Metallic", "Dad Silver" and "Oh Look It's Gray" just don't have the same presence.

    Unless you driving a blue PRO , then inferno is the most stand out color on the street,it may be bad for the resale value but yeah no regret.

    That's cute and everything but who knows how old that is, and that's across the automotive industry, has nothing to do with the Tacoma specifically.
    Yellow first? Seriously? Are these numbers from the 80s?

    Inferno is an awesome color and had I not stumbled across a spruce mica when I did, likely would have gone inferno.
