    Going out of my mind here trying to decide. MGM looks so sharp and beautiful, but there is something rugged and unique about the Quicksand that I cannot deny.

    I have a few days left to decide. I'm reaching out to you guys for some help deciding. I just know that no matter which one I pick, I'll question myself....:help:

    Edit: I should note that this will be an off-road, with the black TRD pro wheels and the TRD pro grille.

    Silver Sky Metallic is a nice compromise, lol
    Quicksand- the best color, if you can handle having the best

    Whichever one you can get the best deal on as both are sharp.

    If Toyota did Quicksand in Matte or Flat it would always be the correct answer IMO

    Every time I see a quicksand I think "I should have gotten that color".... I'm sure my wife is tired of hearing about it at this point.

    I feel like the ones on the formum with the pro wheels look especially good.

    I like the quicksand, and this is coming from a former MGM owner. It's more unique because none of the second gens have it. That'd be my vote. On the other hand.......

    Have a MGM 2nd gen and love it but every time I see a Quicksand 3rd gen I think it's the perfect color for that truck, especially with black fender flares. I bet it hides dirt better than MGM too.

    The wife doesn't like quicksand; she says it makes the truck look naked. :facepalm:

    Quicksand. Only color that makes 3rd gens look good.

    So, you have to chose between baby crap or a two-tone color truck.
    Go baby crap at least the color will be uniform the truck. Unless you want shiny primer like mine.
    Considered inferno? Black accents look a lot better on inferno than the other 2.

    I don't understand how people can ask other people what color truck they should get.

    Its your personal preference, get what you want..

    Both are pretty solid. I am still partial to MGM myself but you can't go wrong with either. there have been a few 2nd gens re pained in quicksand and its pretty rad. QuickSand will be the new MGM going forward.

    if you leave your chest hair untouched, you deserve Quicksand. Otherwise, MGM.
