    well, I voted for the silver although I am a Pyrite Mica owner. Silver was my top choice but wasn't available so I settled. Don't get me wrong, the Pyrite is a sharp color and I get lots of complements on it. It looks gray sometimes, green sometimes, and a brown shade sometimes. Like others have said, hides dirt well. I have just always liked the Taco in silver. I know you see alot of these around but in my opinion, silver looks best. Good luck and let us know what you decide.

    Get white or silver if you like keeping your truck clean or it will drive you CRAZY. Dirt doesn't show up nearly as easy on light colored vehicles. I've had black and I ain't going back.:D

    I wanted white but the family talked me into magnetic gray. I thought the MG would show dirt and dust really fast but it is nowhere near as bad as I thought it would be, in fact it may be no worse than white. I speak from experience on white, I have always owned a white car of some type since I started driving in 1973. What about red or blue?

    Silver because I have one. I'll never go back to black or any other dark color again. I hate trying to keep it looking clean all the time. It's a common color but I don't care. I didn't wash my truck for a couple of months after I got it new and it still looked clean.
