    Heck yeah!

    My only "hard no" colors are silver and burgundy.

    I'd love to have a Cavalry Blue 5Runner.

    But I'm happy with my white one.

    It doesn't look bad. I would never buy a yellow vehicle no matter what.

    Nope. I always think of Yellow Cabs or Caterpillar Tractors. Definitely no way.

    Reviving an old thread since we could have a Yellow Pro in 2022.

    I like @aroyalsfan idea of making it the Hulkamania edition! :benchpress:

    Hell yeah, I'd be down for a yellow 4Runner! Especially if it was like the yellow on the FJ Cruiser. Someone around here has one in that color and I absolutely love seeing that vehicle. (Granted, I go nuts over any FJ Cruiser I see.*laughs*)

    I had a 2008 Sun Fusion Yellow FJ, and it was the easiest vehicle to find in a busy Walmart parking lot. Safe color on foggy mountain roads too! Yellow is supposed to be the least stolen color vehicle.

    None. Bone Stock. EXCEPT: Brushguard, tow hitch, both welded to the frame. It's good to have friends and a fully equipped garage!
    I still think the 4Runner that started all this still looks like it got a 50 gal drum of mustard dumped on it. It's just not my cup o'tea. Although it would be handy as a source for a hotdog eating contest...
    The Chevy Luv I had, however, before I got my pickup, was about that color yellow. It only got an attempt at being stolen once. Where I lived, THAT was a big surprize. :tumbleweed:
    I think it says something when a yellow 4WD is one not even the thieves want...:D

    I like the yellow. Someone said the pic of the 5th gen was photoshopped, but there is one out there that's a yellow wrap.

    IMO Toyota failed by not making it an option. They should have done yellow instead of Terra or the neon green.

    I probably would get one if it was a 5th Gen.

    Nissan had a nice yellow metallic on the Z that was super sharp. Imagine that on a 4R

    I’d also like to see the glossy black b pillars as well instead of cheap plastic.

    Oh well guys every company is going cheap these days.

    My buddy was looking at Audis this week and even Audi is putting 4 bangers in 60-70k vehicles unreal.

    To me, the only problem with special colors is that for many it becomes tiring after 1-2 years. Notice that no matter how many years go by, White, Black, Silver, and Red seem to continue in the lineup.

    Agreed. Plus, I prefer a degree of anonymity when on the roads and in traffic.

    I like most of the Pro colors.

    I would take a Lunar Rock, Cement, Cavalry Blue, Army Green, or Quicksand any day.

    Lime Rush, Voodoo Blue, and Solar octane are too flashy for my taste.

    Terra looks like tomato paste so that one would also be a no thanks.
