How do you decide what color to get?

MGM is my no regrets fall back color if I can't decide. I like black but have seen on the black thread that they seem to be showing scratches more so than black cars normally, possibly because it is not a metallic black.

 

Silver is the easiest to take care of imo ... dirt, scratches etc hardly show up. Black is of course the hardest to take care of but again imo is classic and you can't go wrong. I

I am not a fan of what I call 'year colors'... meaning colors that date your truck. The sand color and flat grey look awesome but are trends imo and at some point will be dated looking... or you could say they will be 'rare' and thus more desirable at some point. Who knows.

I am fairly certain no one will jump in with 2 feet saying they don't like a black Tacoma

 

You let the colour choose you

 

If I was to get a new Tacoma now, I would go quicksand.

 

I had a gray truck for 5+ years and was dead set on something different....anything different. Went with the quicksand and love it.

 

I always get white. Its easier to keep clean looking, doesn't look destroyed with winter salt, isn't as prone to color fade and doesn't show scratches as easily

 

Thank you:
I am still deciding on fog lights?

 

I guess your choices are down to magnetic gray and silver. I would go with the wife and just go to the dealer and see which color you guys like the best.

 

At first I thought I wanted blue "Blazing Blue Pearl", but coudn't find one equipped the way I wanted. Saw a red one "Barcelona Red" and I'm glad I chose that color. I wish the new Tacomas would offer a dark metallic green. Sometimes the problem for me is that with certain exterior colors, only certain interior colors are avaiable. I've had my share of tan and gray interiors, so never again. I like my black interior on my red truck.

 

Our 16 Taco is MGM and our 16 RAV4 is the Silver Sky

 

We have two 7-10yr old company MGM company cars that are parked outside, have never seen a wash and have zero signs of clearcoat/paint failure.

 

I got a red Ducati Monster 821. Something about red and Italian motorcycles that I love.
My TRD OR ac on the other hand is blazing blue. To be honest it wasn't my first choice, I really
do like silver. But the blue one was sitting in the showroom on that sunny cold winter day last January
and the way the sun hit it caught my eye and the rest is history.

 

My neighbor's dog tells me which color is best.... and then tells me who I should kill next

 

Quicksand will disguise with all the rust it'll have in 20+ years.

 

I said I wanted an Off Road with a manual in any color but white. He said "I'm showing one - but it's black". I said is it white? He said No. It's black. I said "Fine".

 

I agree, I love my black interior on my Red Tacoma. I also wish they still offered the Spruce Mica Green, I just traded in my 2013 SR5

 

What do you have against white, got tired of it or something?

 

How I chose...

I just knew I had to have the sand color since I love everything FDE and have lots of guns and gear in the color.

And then someone comes along and trades in a MGM access cab TRDOR for a PRO at one hell of a loss.

I got a killer deal on this thing... And so I realised that the sand color is too "creamy" of a color in terms of FDE anyway, and at this steal of a deal MGM is my new favorite color.

Now I've got a slick ass truck in a kick ass color that is built "better" (for my needs) than a PRO... All at a discount price. I'm thrilled.

 

I bought the best one.

 

Thanks for the replies guys. This was fun. I've regretted the colors I got 3 times in my life including freaking out a week after getting a flame blue metallic f150. So now I'm trying get a color I won't regret in a week, a year, 5 yrs....

Basically, do I want to regret getting quicksand or regret not getting it?
