    Black! Black hides dirt EXTREMELY well. One look at my truck no one, I mean no one, ever notices how dirty the driveway is.:D

    That is a great color. I'm just poking fun with the various colors we can chose from. The more to chose the merrier! Quicksand seems to be the best blending in the dirt/desert. Stealthy....:mudding:

    Quicksand is the Bruce Lee of repelling dirt.

    Silver is pretty good as well.

    Ditto on that. Silver is one of my favorite Tundra colors along with Cement. Both look good dressed up in dirt!

    Quicksand or the Desert storm. Those kinds of colors always always hide dirt very well.

    Then would be the silver, grey, cement

    Then white

    Then black

    Doesn’t really matter since these trucks look great clean or dirty in any color IMO.

    Silver is pretty good. In this photo my truck hasn't been washed in nearly 6 months.

    Lighter colors are better for hiding dirt, scratches, etc. I've always bought white and even though you would think dirt and dust would show, it really doesn't. Plus it cooler in the heat.

    I've always thought silver sky hides dirt well especially dust. Here is mine mere moments after crawling though some of the toughest mall parking lots.

    that is probably one of the reasons I went with silver after my last truck Black Tacoma I knew I would go silver on my black truck my ocd would never let me ignore the pinstriping and hand prints now with this silver one I just spend more time looking for scratches they are so hard to find on silver paint and I do wash my truck about every 10 days and wipe it down almost daily of not every other day

    Quicksand on the newer trucks. My 08 is desert sand mica, and it does really well at hiding it.

    IMO, there is nothing better than Quicksand.
    Then Cement and Silver
    Then White

    Black is WAY down at the bottom!!

    I went with Silver Sky Metallic because my garage will barely fit the Tundra. Getting it in the garage requires the wife to park properly and then leaves maybe 1.5 feet between vehicles making it difficult to get in / out. Garage parking is something that happens only when hail is in the forecast.

    The silver doesn't show the dirt at all. Been over 2 months since I last washed it, been through many rains, dirt, etc. and still looks clean enough to where I am in no hurry to wash it.

    silver in the past has been the best for hiding dirt, the inferno was the fastest followed by the blazing blue :crapstorm:

    Seriously though the silver hid it the best as well as scratches.
