    By the looks of that gorgeous truck pictured on top I pick blue.
    The silver would be a close second which I had on my previous truck. IMG_4373.jpg

    My choices are deep red or Silver. All my Harleys are those 2 colors. Saw the silver in person and it looks good. Across the street Neighbor has a blue 15 Tacoma so that was a no go. And Quicksand is soooo boring!

    I agree on many notes, especially with dirt blending it on lighter vs darker colors. I love white and the mgm but never again out here in Hawaii. Leaning towards QS:mudding:

    QS rocks! It hides dirt and pollen really well, changes hue depending on sunlight, and looks awesome with black accents. Love the fact that it has no metal flake, just awesome color. And is a unique spin on the 'boring' tan most auto makers use.

    Yes to all that, and I really like QS best.
    I did see a SSM polished to the nines, and I have to say it really looked beautiful, just not for me.

    I wish Toyota would offer a medium to dark green metallic color. To answer this thread I vote for BBP (Blue). My first choice was blue but none in stock locally, so I got Barcelona Red and am very happy with it.

    Silver looks best with the black cladding around the wheels. The rest of the colors IMO makes the truck look "unfinished" and like a base model.

    All of our vehicles are white, The best color for those of us who hate detailing.
