Hi Mudders!

I have a 2008 4Runner Limited with a 3 inch OME lift and 32” BFG KO2s. I love it! Daily driver and occasional off-roader/overlander. Color is Mica Gray (dark metallic gray).

I’m getting ready to upgrade to a 200 series. Looking at 2011 - 2013. Would love to get a LC, but I can’t justify what looks like it would be a $5k - $6k premium versus the LX 570. Plus I like the AHC suspension, given how I plan to use the vehicle (daily driver, winter ski trips, occasional off-road/overland). So I’m planning to get a 570.

What color should I try to get?

If I could could choose, I would get the dark gray (like my current 4Runner). But those seem rare. I don’t want black. I think I could learn to love WHITE or SILVER, and both seem fairly common in the used market.

In either case, I plan to buy aftermarket wheels (Oz or Method?)... as well as a Front Runner roof rack, Slee sliders, and 33s.

If I go silver 570, I would pair with BLACK wheels.

If I go white 570, I would pair with BRONZE wheels.

What do folks here think? Any one have some pics of trucks in these combos?

I hate the chrome bling on the 570s. Any thoughts on which paint color draws less attention to it (silver v white)? I know I could black out the trim, but that sounds like a costly PITA and likely to eventually peel.

Thanks Mud!

Whichever color is in the best condition and has a more complete service history.
 
Agree with Charlie, used car shopping is all about maintenance history. I think white ages better, less sun damage. I also prefer white to slver. Shiny black looks best in my opinion but lots of work to maintain. I’d need a detail guy. I used to keep my black Tacoma beautiful but I just don’t have the time anymore.
 
Not the color combo you stated, but I like it. Bought used, CA vehicle, always serviced at Lexus.
