    I had one very similar to the 2nd truck pictured, it was tan only it had white steelies. The first is just a pic of a classic Toyota I wish I did have.

    Man, I miss those little trucks and those classic graphics.

    Back in the 80's it was very rare to find an auto, everything was a single cab with a 4 or 5 speed.

    Yep, you need some black on the quicksand to break up all that tan. If I were to get a Sport, I'd swap out the fender liners to black like the Offroad.

    Tan is a classic color. I would like to have gotten it, but I'm happy with MGM.


    Green would have been my first choice.

    Traded in a 2008 red Tacoma for the silver. Everybody says the silver is better but I stll wish they would have had what I wanted in red. Silver is way easier to keep clean but then again, it's a truck so dirt always looks good on it!

    I was going to get white. I dig the inferno, but it is a color I think will go out of style quickly.

    But the longer I waited, the more the quicksand grew on me. So that is what I ended up ordering.

    MGM for the win!!!

    But since you don't like gray I would go with Quicksand. Or white.

    The hardest colors to keep clean are white and black. Black will show all of the lighter colored dust and dirt, whereas white will show all of the darker dirt, grime and tar. Somewhere in the middle, especially a metallic color, is the best when it comes to ease of upkeep. I'm not a big fan of silver because it's way too common and ordinary.

    I think black looks great (I had a black SUV) but it's a pain in the ass to maintain. Swirl marks in the paint show up the most on black.

    Easy choice for me. Magnetic Gray Metallic was the only other color I considered.

    Get whatever is available, then cover it with a camo skin. Fairly costly, but it protects the paint underneath, and requires no cleaning, until the mud starts caking on it. I have a factory camo ATV, and it is great. Doesn't show scratches either.

    I know a guy with a camo Tundra, and it looks amazing. If you get tired of it, you can always rip it off and go back to whatever colour you have below the skin

    Quicksand is an awesome color, that said I bought one of the last 15s in black, but smoking deal. Looks great, always wanted a black truck and for a bonus I got a part time job keeping it looking good. Good luck hope you get what you want.

    If you like quicksand, go for it, but make sure you see it in a lot of different lighting. It changes drastically. If you're getting an off-road, you'll be happy with white, looks great with black accents. BBP is the most interesting of the 3 you're still considering, and will look great in a sport, sr5 or limited. For me, Barcelona red metallic FTW. I LOVE thiat color more every day.

    I think the red in the offroad with the black fender flares looks awesome not so much on the sport! But black because black is the classic and doesn't get old!
