    After days of searching, my best contestant so far is the one with the leer top. I don't like the top, but I could sell it and make some money for mods :D

    I went from a silver 1st gen to a SWB 2nd gen. I like both colors, but SWB does stand out. It makes the truck easy to find in a parking lot. I have trouble finding the car if I drive my wife's Rav4.

    My SWB usually doesn't show dirt too badly either. It's sort of a rare color, but a few days ago I saw 3 other SWBs on my way to work.

    I wish Toyota offered Blue Streak Metallic for Tacomas. Not sure why they used that for Tundras, Corollas, and Highlanders and only used SWB on Tacomas.

    Not much on the 07 yet. 18 is gone, but was a greata truck. TRD Pro grill, Gator FX3, Homelink mirror, Black out badges & exhaust tip, Remote start. Future TRD exhaust, skid plate.
    Way to many silver ones for my taste, we need more cool colors out there.
    I wish they would do a cool copper/burnt orange color.

    If someone else is buying a truck, SWB. If I'm buying it, silver, I will never buy a dark car again. Sure, SWB is not exactly dark, but silver always looks clean.

    Regards,

    Silver for me. If I had the choice to do it over again... probably silver. It shows the contrast from black and silver very good. The mud shows more and yes... even when its dirty, it still looks clean.

    Randy, dude your truck is looking very nice. I didn't know you made the switch on the fenders. That's a great pic too by the way.

    So hard to find a nice SWB. This is my list of my 2 favorite colors and whatever deal I find first, I will get. 1: SWB 2: Pyrite Mica. I've started to like pyrite since the local toyota dealer here has a used one in and I like it. Plus its easy to keep clean.

    I went to the dealership set on buying silver or white...

    drove home in Pyrite Mica.

    I enjoy just going to the lot and seeing what jumps out at me...the Pyrite Mica has the tan interior, most had the gray interior.

    for me, too much analyzation dulls the buying experience.

    I put gas in it...
    I had a SWB 2009 - Beautiful truck and it matched my boat! I went with silver this time though because it hides scratches a lot better. I had a few nice scratches on the SWB..

    Looking back, I would have gone white lol.. I just love the white/black look.

    Never go black though. Unless you want to spend the rest of your life cleaning it :p
