    I have always loved black vehicles. This is my first one and I do love it, but it is a pain. You just have to not care about it being dirty. I have an SR5 and I think the black works with the chrome the best. I like white too, but I see probably 6 white tacomas on the way to work. My other color choice would be MGM which from what I've read isn't much better.

    My last truck was black... Won't do that again. I was afraid to look at it, much less wheel it.

    I have had a black 4Runner since 1997. I now have a black truck also. I love black but have to admit that in the snowy winter it can get dirty. Totally worth it IMO.

    Heck, I have indigo ink and it's not as bad as black. Wouldn't go for another dark color unless I had to. I want a stormtrooper taco and if I could do it again, that's what I would do. But when it's clean, I love it! Lasts about a day or 2 if I'm lucky. Maybe if I had black, it would be different though.

    Black gets dirty just as quick as any other color. It probably forces me to care for my paint a little more. Nothing classier than black in my opinion/

    Black looks so nice but to keeps ya honest, shows everything. Looks hands down sexiest when cleaned and shined.
