    Id say wax it cuz black tacomas look mean as fuck OP. I see a black taco and im like damn that shit looks badass.
    Everyone and their mother has cemenr.

    besides u could always get it wrapped for about what u would lose on a trade in.

    im just gonna say i think black looks good on the tacoma, especially, lifted, black wheels, dark tint, shit looks sick

    Stick with black. I’ve found that I keep cars so long, rust is usually the biggest issue. Rust makes white, cement, silver, etc look absolutely awful. Black cars can hide rust pretty well. Although, I’m hoping that fluid film saves this taco from the rust issues I’ve had with my other cars!

    I kind of did of this... I wanted a manual transmission. I traded in my 2021 TRDOR auto for a 2021 LR Pro with manual 6 months later. My OR had 16k miles on it and the dealer gave me $3k over what I paid.

    I have a 17 mgm and I love the way it looks but it looks dirty too easily. A few neighbors have cement and white and they never look as bad......trading/selling, no way

    Wrap it, should be comparable in cost to the loss you will end up with dumping a new truck. Alternatively start wheeling it and learn to love the endless scratches and dirt....... My last 2 rigs have been black, they look terrible up close but when polished with wax that has black pigment they look amazing from 10 ft away haha. But a wrap gives you a custom whatever you want colour!

    I have had 4 black vehicles and I agree, they show dirt like no other and get hot very quickly. However, as others stated, window tint and a sunshade will eliminate getting into a hot truck in the summer. As far as the dirt, definitely get a ceramic coat. That's the best defense for a black vehicle. Believe it or not, white is a rough color to keep clean too. My second gen was white, and so is my SO's Sonata. I don't think that black is so bad that you should trade it though. Just care for it and it will be one of the best looking trucks out there.

    That said, if I decided to buy a Taco over a GX470, I will request an allocation for a 2022 DCSB OR 4x4 6 MT in Blue Crush Metallic or Barcelona Red Metallic!

    If I was younger with plenty of time in my hands, I would have gone black.

    Black looks best when waxed and shiny!

    Quicksand is low maintenance in the desert.

    Cement is the best overall color I think though.

    My 2021 is a DCSB OR 4x4 6MT in Barcelona Red Metallic! I drove it straight from the dealership to get it ceramic coated, not even taking it home first. It looks great all of the time and I get excited every time I approach it in the parking lot.

    Barcelona Red is underrated. One of the best looking colours on these trucks, especially with the black TRD OR accents, and hardly anyone chooses it.

    It’s the only colour I sometimes regret not getting over what was available in 2017 when I choose Silver Sky.

    I have a Blazing blue Taco. I bought her used about 2.5 years ago, but don't regret the color choice. Having said that, if inventory was better right now, I'd SERIOUSLY consider a white Taco. I think the white ones look great. I know white takes extra steps in cleaning, but once cleaned up, look sharp!

    As a side note: BBP isnt seen a lot around here, where I live in Mississippi so it really does stand out. :)

    Love Quicksand, sometime I don't even know if it is dirty or not. I like Cement too, like glossy primer. But now there is too many of them on the road... Quicksand is pretty unique now, but not as rare as InfernoRed.
