i wax my cars about 4 times a year. and i put aside one whole day to strip, touch-up, polish and wax my cars once a year!

that salsa red pearl is that Speeding Ticket Red. Wow! I'd would have loved that color....but....the dealer had three SR5 V8 4x4 on the lot...Stratosphere Mica, black and white. White had the sunroof and I did not want the sunroof. Did not want the black as it's just oo hard to keep clean. So I got the Mica. Nice color. but it just does not have that WOW factor.

I think all the 4Runner colors are very nice. I had a hard time choosing. However, I wanted to be different............ guess which one I voted for.

Black hands down **WHEN** it's clean. Which is only for about 2 hours after you wash, clean the rims, dress the tires, and wax it at least once. Stratosphere would be next in line, but nearly the same problem with cleanliness.

Last 2 Runner's in our family have been black, but the next one will be Titanium Silver because I want a break from waxing and being scared to go in the bush more often.

i saw a salsa red 4th gen. going down the road the other day and it had the plastic grey cladding. i thought the grey cladding was on the earlier 2003's and the salsa red is only available since this year?

My mom has a 2003 Silver 4Runner
I have a 2003 Black 4Runner.

Which color is better?
1) Black (only when its CLEAN)
2) Galactic Grey (kind of in the middle)
3) Titanium Silver (too common of a color but still nice)

The early 2003 models were available in a color called Impulse Red Pearl. It's a VERY rare color for the 4th gens along with Imperial Jade Mica (dark green). They were discontinued around April 2003 when Toyota started adding the painted cladding on SR5's and Sport Editions.

I gotta go with black. I would have bought the black one, but my '01 was black and what a pain in the ass it was to keep clean. When they're clean they look great. (lasts about 20min though)

It's between two colors: silver or black

too many people have the silver so it loses its uniqueness.

Black with chrome roof racks and step rail is awesome but dirt shows to easy.

I vote black, but ordered Titanium Silver...not sure why.

Anyone have a black 4Runner without the silver bumper trim ? Is it a special order or only available on specific models ?

I have a black with the silver front bumper and rear bumper trim. I believe it is only offered with a sport or limited package. I know the limiteds have them.. but I think i've seen the sports with it too.

Don't I get to vote for my Imperial Jade Mica? I loved it when I bought it new four years ago, and love it just as much today.

Pirate VI · 10-28-2005, 10:01 PM

wow i am surprised regular old silver beat out the galactic grey... i love the little blue sparkles in the galactic grey, plus you get a great darkish color but doesnt show dirt. I wanted the black and got the grey, but couldnt be happier now.
(well i guess id be happier with a limited galactic grey)

Fro-Runner · 10-29-2005, 08:57 AM

Hey Pirate VI, I'd have to second that notion for the color Galactia Mica Grey. The color throws off a good shine when clean, looks great (purplish) under amber night street lightning, and gives off a bluish hue in the bright sunlight depending on the way the light bends off the truck. When the salsa red pearl first came out; I was head over heels for it but my gray truck has grown on me.
