Black interior with any color in my opinion. I never liked tan interiors. You asked the benefit of black, it just looks great.

Yeah, never been a fan of tan interiors myself either but that's personal taste I suppose.
If you are seeing 10 vehicles at the dealer and 9 of them have a black interior that's because 90% of the people want black, not the other available colors.

Yes: it looks better (IMNSHO
)I'm a huge fan of black-on-black, or black interior on most any vehicle. My previous Black TRD Tacoma had the brown interior - was not a fan. New T4R is black-on-black - waited more than 2 months for it in my exact configuration.
The SR5 still has some tasteful gray on the upper door and A-Pillar, plus silver trim accents, where the limited is mostly black inside with some silver trim. The SR5's Black+Gray looks pretty dang sexy to me. Most other interior colors with the standard gray accents just look odd to me.
Some of the body+interior color pics I see of our beloved T4R's make me want to puke a little (especially pics with the doors open where you can see body color butted-up against interior colors) - but color preference is obviously a highly subjective thing and needs to make you happy in the end (doesn't matter what I think!)...
So basically I agree with the others that posted as I was taking my sweet time writing this
PS - This is also my first Leather Upgrade vehicle. I'm really digging the leather above my previous experiences with Toyota cloth seats. Minor gripe = Cold Seats or Hot Seats in winter/summer. But even being 28 months old, my T4R still has the New Car smell! Most (if not all) of my passengers always comment on the new car smell
Love that!!!! Can't stand a dingy smelling ride...

All depends on what model you're looking at getting. Mine has the tan interior and I love it but I have an Sr5 premium. I think all the trails come with black.

Well technically it's not really leather, Toyota calls it softex unless you get the Limited then that's real leather. Either way I look at it, if you keep it clean it's easier to clean if that makes any sense.

You got that right!
I will take dark interior any day of the week. My issue was always I didn't like leather, but in all honestly I treat my truck like a truck. and black leather interior and leather seats are just so easy to keep looking... well, presentable. i would destroy a tan interior in 1 season of mountain biking.
