    Quicksand for the win! Notice that it’s the same color as the road.0243EC52-6E4A-49C6-84CA-1EFF4C50AEFE.jpg

    White will stay clean for a few weeks as long as it doesn’t rain.
    Black & red really sharp looking when clean but that only last 2-3 days then it’s biggest pain in the ass to keep clean.

    Quicksand is the way to go, you can just ride and forget the dirt because you can’t see it lol (except the damn road salt)

    I’ve had white & silver, white really shows the dirt when you start to wash. Other than that it’s a toss up. I’d say whatever is cheaper. I used the argument that I didn’t want black to get a 13 T4R LTD with 3rd seat in white for the same price as what they offered over the phone for a black LTD w/o 3rd row

    Silver, tan, white, in that order. Silver is best to hide small scratches and dings as well as dust and light dirt. Quicksand hides pollen the best. White hides swirls and small scratches really well, and unless covered in mud, looks cleaner longer too.

    Silver is best/easiest colour to take care of. White doesn’t show much but if you live where it snows and they used salt you’ll notice small dings and surface/paint rust that will need to be buffed. Also rock chips stand out big time on white.

    It's definitely the closest color.

    ive had white cars in the past and they hide dirt and scratches very well. 1 of them was a Toyota too. I would say white since it also is one of the better colors for resale value as well.
