    White is a classic choice, thats what I have. Its easy to make it look good with aftermarket items too. Despite that white is bland, if you could can stand to wait I would. When your spending this kind of money for a truck be sure you're getting what you want. Otherwise you will regret it.

    White looks absolutely awesome! It works with virtually every wheel combo, and is classic. I love green and white!

    Nice Truck!

    This is a good point. White goes well with most wheel and tire combo's.

    My Choice at the time was ether black or white for availability in the trim I wanted. Black is awesome but a nightmare to keep clean. Love the white. First white vehicle ever. No regrets and the paint has stuck so far. If your willing take a risk and to wait for the Barcelona Red..........?

    Im surprised no one has attempted to modify a short bed by sectioning I’m these embossed/detailed panels from a long bed. Don”t tempt me!

    Love the white but, mine is pealing so don't risk it unless you intend on spending additional $ to get it repainted

    Black is hard to keep clean. But when clean and waxed it looks very nice, white I think is the most popular color of all cars/trucks.. the one red car I had (Saab 93) faded and needed to be compounded to bring it back, good luck. But as other have said get what you want or you’ll be liking the truck not loving it

    Yeah I’m tempted by the Lunar Rock for sure. But the particular red of a Tacoma does look so good.

    Do you like your long bed? Bed length is another factor that’s up in the air at the moment. Original deposit on a red DCLB that’s stuck in limbo with no ETA and some of the alternatives I’m considering are DCSB. Like the idea of more space in bed, and possibly sleeping back there, but a little concerned it’ll feel so big like a limo lol I’m coming from a pretty compact nimble SUV so wonder how hard parking and maneuvering through the city would be with the DCLB.

    I like white, but so it seems does everyone else on the planet. And it looks like a fleet truck.
    Red is for Ducatis and sports cars.
    Black is too hot in the summer and shows everything. MGM ain't much better, as I've found out.
    If I could 'do over' I'd probably go blue again, or silver. Green won't age well. Denim and the other fad colors as well.

    Wait for the color you want and you will be glad you did . The dealer wanted me to pick from what they had but I will
    Not settle on a different color and boy I do not have one regret.

    Get the red one. Don't take the white paint peel risk.

    Thanks for all the input. I talked to my sales guy today and because of this mystery limbo, the dealership is letting me keep my original hold on the Red OR that’s stuck at the port (they clearly feel bad they have no info, no answers, no ETA) and also put a hold on an Army Green OR that just got allocated. The white options didn’t quite meet my basic build requirements, but the AG checks every box and has nothing extra that I don’t want. Now we’ll see which shows up first, the red that’s stuck in Baja or the green that’s theoretically arriving in September. I haven’t seen the AG color in person but in theory anyway I really love it. It looks great in pictures and I’m trusting it’ll look good in real life too Lol

    The white is classic. No issues with mine yet ( just a year old ).
