If you could only chose between the three? I do plan to lift it 2-3 inches regardless the color.

Red or Inferno. Not a fan of blue and I really dislike silver so my choice is quicksand.

Blazing blue or quicksand will get more attention and likely resell faster! If you like silver do the metallic grey color it looks good

Well think what you want to use the truck for... Are you going to do some off roading? If so the colors quicksand tan and silver will hold up better than the Blazing Blue. With QS and Silver you wont notice all the little scratches and pinstripes as you will on the Blue. The color quicksand tan is a more "unique" and "stand-out" color. Every time I drive mine around people come up to me and tell me how much they love the color.. So if you don't want the attention and stand out then maybe the silver or blue would be a better color for you.

Sliver and blue were also available in the 2nd gen, not sure how much longer QS will be available so it may end up being a more unique color choice.

Tan is a nice throwback color and never looks dirty either.

Not a fan of Blazing Blue. Silver is, well, ... just plain boring. IMO, QS is the most "off-road" looking color you can get on a Taco right now, which was the reason I went with it for mine. That, and you just don't seem to see as many, so it's more unique.

I never considered myself a silver car guy...so many on the road, often boring sedans in silver. But the Tacoma Silver Sky Metallic is really nice when viewed in person...it's darker, and changes colors with the sun. Once I saw one in person it spoke to me so I ordered mine in silver...coming next week!

Not a fan of the blue. Mine is Silver (I know - boring... but it sure looks nice even when dirty)
Silver and QS will look nice trimmed in black.
I'd say go with QS

Silver is an easy flip later when you sell it but then who buys a truck then worries about resale or what the next buyer of your truck thinks.

Oh yeah that's right, some of you do that here

The biggest problem with the new Taco, is that there are too many good colors to choose from!!

After owning a silver '04 Tundra and a Super White '09 Tundra for 5 years after that, I love having something with a little more punch to it - thus the Barcelona Red for me. I'd go with the Blue myself if I had to pick from the above. I'm not a fan of the quicksand, nor the cement on the Pro. But I love the blue/red/inferno colors a lot. Much less boring. Though it can be a little more work to keep it clean.
