    MGM would’ve saved me money on detailing products for sure. I do actually own two MGM vehicles, but it doesn’t stand out enough for me. If I got a new one, it’d be Voodoo Blue, possibly Inferno. I prefer bright colors.

    That said, the only reason there’s even a “best color” debate is because Toyota stopped making Radiant Red.

    By the way OP, Radiant Red can be found in a 2016.

    I dig the color on that challenger. I’m a peacock. I like the bright ones. I actually like the lime green, yellow, purple, etc that Camaros and Challengers come in. I didn’t think I’d want a black one either. If they’d had Voodoo Blue at the time I’d have been all over it. My last Silverado was a beautiful blue.
    Dodge seems to be one the only manufacturer that always has bright colors available. The other brands go back and forth.

    I went to the dealership planning to get Barcelona Red, but my wife talked me into the black one. The red one didn’t have any of the custom stuff my black one came with, wasn’t 4x4 (which I don’t need anyway), and it just didn’t catch my eye the way my old red one did.

    2017 seems to be the consensus for pre-electrical changes... how about mods like regear bumpers lockers supercharger etc are they all the same?

    Id opt for a 2019 or newer , 2019 toyota updated/tweeked the drive train calibration , lots of people coming from older 5.7 tundras say the 2019+ trucks feel more responsive and have better shift characteristics, also be sure to opt for the trans cooler install and your good to go !

    FWIW....I’ve got a 19’ Crewmax TRD Sport in MGM. It’s got everything except leather, and I’ve absolutely loved it. No issues with any sensors.

    I suggest if possible get one with blind spot monitor. If you avoid one collision it just paid for itself 5 times over. Be careful, i see so many times people buying used one within 3-6K of a new one. New one comes with new warranty, you get to get the first ding.....
