    I rolled my 2016 Taco Quicksand earlier this year. It was totaled so I went and brought another truck. My truck right now is a Silverado. However, it does not ride like a Taco so I'm going back to a Taco. I have a deal in place for a Burnt Orange Taco and a semi agreed upon deal for a Quicksand. Can't decide what color to get any suggestion?

    Note: the Quicksand has a tonneau cover and predator tube. The Burnt Orange has none of that and it $1000 less. I know I can get running board and tonneau cover for around $500 on Autoanything.

    A back step for when I get older, Carhartt seatcovers, 4Runner wheels, Topper, and "tats all folks"! --for now!!
    Between these two -- definitely Quicksand.
    the "other ""color"": This should be what they call it
    in·fer·nal
    (ĭn-fûr′nəl)
    adj.
    1.
    a.
    Of or relating to a lower world of the dead.
    b. Of or relating to hell: infernal punishments; infernal powers.
    2. Fiendish; diabolical: infernal instruments of war.
    3. Abominable; awful: the infernal racket of the jackhammers

    Number 3 comes to my mind when I see one of these in person!

    Really -- you should get what YOU (and maybe you sig-others) like
    It does not really make any diff what the rest of us feel!

    I think I would go quicksand if I had it to do over again. One of my biggest regrets was not getting the 4R pro in quicksand

    I went with QS

    If I absolutely had to pick from those two, it would be QS.

    Mine is Silver Sky. Was debating between it and QS.. SSM was on lot available with only 1 item (chrome stealth running boards) I did not want.They removed the charge and did not uninstall them. Was not in love with the silver at the time, but I do love it now. :cool:

    Personally, I am an OU fan and could never do inferno (burnt orange aka longhorn poo) due to the Texas connection conditioning me to dislike the color. :curls: Boomer!!

    Get a color you will be happy with. It's your truck. Anyone who has a problem with it... well it is THIER problem not yours.:thumbsup:
