    You have to stay in your same trim level. No jumping to Pro colors, unless you own a Pro.

    I own a super white SR5P.

    Second color choices would have been either MGM or Barcelona Red, although when it came down to actually signing the papers, I think I would have gone with the safer choice, MGM.

    My wife talked me into mgm. My Tacoma was mgm, and I wanted a change. If I did it again, silver would be my first choice, mgm second. Nothing against it really, it's just silver shows less dirt IMO.

    I just purchased my TRD Pro in White but would have preferred the Cement Gray. I love the Inferno but my wife said no way!

    First choice when I went shopping was Super White. Bought Midnight Black Metallic because it looks better to me in person.

    If I was shopping again today I'd possibly consider silver...hard to say though.

    Well, don't make the mistake I did on my 16' silver 4Runner. The paint is so shit on all the plastic front end of these that I went with a full Xpel clear bra. It has prevented any rock chip damage for sure, but most noticeably is the dust/grime line that inevitably has formed on the bra egde. With lighter silver, it stands out like a sore thumb!

    I have a Super White but would have gone with the Barcelona Red if my wife didn't already have a red Subaru Forester.

    Nautical > MGM > Silver, I got my 2nd choice. I would look again at a silver if I were picking again, but I'm happy.

    I wanted anything besides white or black. Nautical Blue was my favorite. But, looking at the mods I've done, I'm glad I wound up with MGM

    I can't seem to quit buying gray vehicles..

    I was much more picky about the interior, I was getting redwood. I would have preferred blue, but oh well.

    If inferno red would’ve still been available I would’ve hands down have it be my first color choice. It was sadly only made one year in that color :pout:
    Loved the color on my previous taco.

    Hopefully the Calvary Blue will be an option on the cheaper SR5. But Anthracite Metallic is still my favorite. Just saw a Sequoia with a similar shade...

    I love red, but other than that I’m kind of agnostic on colour. My current 4 Runner is MGM, which is a good colour. It kind of picked me though, because it was 2018 leftover that hadn’t sold and the dealer gave me a great deal on it. I had a silver Tacoma, that someone asked me to contact them when I decided to sell it, so the deal happened in a couple of hours. I’ve actually never bought a vehicle where I had a colour choice. Haha. I’m on the preorder list for a Cybertruck, and it only comes in alloy. Story of my life, I guess.

    I love the look of a black 4Runner, went with silver for a few reasons. 1. They seem to be a dime a dozen (not that silver is exactly rare....) but they're all over. Neighbors on either side of us have black Runners. 2. My wife has a black Camry...our previous two vehicles just happened to be red and I got tired of us looking all matchy-matchy and finally....3. I know from trying to keep the Camry looking good, that black is horrible for showing dirt. The silver seems to stay looking good longer.

    I had the MGM and Nautical Blue sitting beside each other on the lot and both sets of keys in my hand. Tough choice, but I was really wanting the grey more.

    Lots of guys picking silver. I had a black truck for 11 years. It showed every scratch, and always looked dirty. My new 4 runner Screenshot 2020-05-06 at 9.29.26 AM.jpg Screenshot 2020-05-13 at 9.25.20 PM.jpg is silver, and yes it shows a lot less dirt&mud than black or white.

    Toyota needs to launch a new color for Wisconsin: “Road Salt”.

    I have a '17 cement pro that fell into my lap pretty cheaply. I was saving up for a quicksand one, though.

    I have the Nautical Blue (SR5). If I had my choice of any, it would be the MGM.
