2026 Toyota Hilux Travo Pickup Truck – Color Options
Toyota has carefully curated the paint palette to match these identities. Whether you need the rugged utility of the Pre Runner or the high-tech minimalism of the electric flagship, here is your definitive guide to the colors of the new Travo generation.
Sulfur Metallic
Available on: Pre Runner | Overland The undisputed hero color of the combustion range. Sulfur Metallic is a sophisticated, deep bronze-brown metallic that captures the “Tough and Agile” spirit of the new generation. It highlights the widened wheel arches and the muscular hood lines of both the Pre Runner and the Overland, making it the go-to choice for lifestyle buyers who want their truck to look as expensive as it feels.
Ash
Available on: Pre Runner | Overland | Travo-e Ash is the unifying color of the Travo family—the only shade available across all three major variants. This flat, non-metallic grey brings a modern, tactical aesthetic to the truck. On the Travo-e, it emphasizes the futuristic, grille-less aero design; on the Overland, it looks like a piece of military-grade hardware ready for the trail. It is stealthy, hides road grime effectively, and looks thoroughly contemporary.
Platinum White Pearl Mica
Available on: Overland | Travo-e Reserved for the premium tiers, Platinum White Pearl Mica replaces the standard flat white found on the lower trims. This is a complex, deep paint containing mica flakes that offer a satin-like luster under direct sunlight.
- On the Overland: It provides a striking contrast against the black over-fenders and off-road cladding.
- On the Travo-e: It reinforces the clean, zero-emission image of the electric flagship, giving it a sophisticated, high-tech presence.
Attitude Black Mica
Available on: Pre Runner | Overland For those who prefer the “stealth” look, Attitude Black Mica remains a staple. It uses mica flakes to add depth, preventing the truck from looking like a flat black void. It is aggressive and imposing, perfectly suiting the 18-inch alloy wheels of the Overland and the high-riding stance of the Pre Runner.
Super White II
Available on: Pre Runner The classic. Super White II is a solid, high-gloss white available exclusively on the Pre Runner. Unlike the Pearl White found on the premium models, this is a “working white”—bright, crisp, and easy to touch up if you scratch it on the job site. It offers a sharp, high-contrast look against the black grille and trim.
Silver Metallic
Available on: Pre Runner The practical choice. Silver Metallic is offered on the Pre Runner for those who value ease of maintenance above all else. It reflects heat, hides dust and scratches better than any other color, and ensures the truck looks clean even after a long week of work.
