    Hi guys.
    TRD white colour.
    Would you buy another one in white?
    I am shopping for a new Tacoma,and i could maybe get a TRD 2016 in white,with 40 kilometers,and full loaded,sun roof ,,etc etc.
    Though my wife s Camry is also white,and i find that it is not easy to clean,and also that little chip damages shows easily,treu that she does a lot of traveling,not me.
    Thanks
    All the best
    Charly.

    No regrets here. I actually think white shows dirt less than other colors. All of my darker cars showed dirt and dust a lot more. I live in the dessert so cars get a film of dust pretty quick. The quicksand color would have been better for where I live, but preferred white.
    On the dings and scratches, yes they are probably the worst on white, because everything beneath the paint is darker. Just get a touch up pen.
    I think it comes down to personal preference. I wanted a white one from the beginning (actually wanted cement but it wasn’t even an option at the time), so went with white.

    ^ yes all of this. I have black and dark colors are worse. You can do so much with white. Usually cost the less to fix at body shop. Light colors white and silver are great on any car. I would go with it OP.

    If I am not mistaken Toyota White does not have Clearcoat.

    I would not buy white again. But that’s mostly because I have too many white vehicles (4) and an enclosed trailer, plus my house is white. Too much white, and all purely coincidence, not by preference at all. I like silver, gray, or quicksand.

    My wife's rav4 definitely has clear coat.

    The only thing about white, you have to clay bar a it a little more often. The black grime spots are much more noticeable than on my silver driven in the same climate. Probably a good idea to get them off sooner than later anyways, so it's not a bad thing.

    While I don’t think white is the coolest/best looking color, pretty much always looks 99.9% clean with the least amount of effort. Also very hard to mess up while detaining / buffing etc...

    I wouldn’t get any other color tacoma

    The Tacoma and Tundra White has no Clearcoat, not sure about other Toyota's.

    Never thought I'd buy a white vehicle until I saw a white Tacoma. Bought it in Feb and no regrets.

    White is awesome to keep clean over any other colour. The ONE exception is bugs. We live practically on the lake and surrounded by fields. In the summer my truck is always bug covered. Whether it is black bug spots or yellow entrails the truck is covered. This is without talking about fishfly season.

    Not sure where that misconception comes from. White is one of the best colors to clean, and hides rock chips very well.
