  Great Truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Hank - June 11 - 8:16 pm

  This is my third truck. Had an old Tacoma that just wouldnt die, ran it 200k+ miles and hope this one lasts as long. Had a Dakota with a V8 but this one has much more power and more comfortable ride, even with the TRD pkg. Much better gas mileage then Dakota too, first tank gave me 20 mpg. Love my 05 Tacoma, highly recommend.

  Excellent small truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Patrick - June 7 - 1:13 pm

  The new styling is outstanding and larger than previous models. Power is excellent, and room inside the cabin is very good I am 75". Not very good gas mileage and engine makes lots of noise under heavy acceleration. Overall I love my truck

  Very nice truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Homer - May 3 - 4:46 am

  My first toyota, and probably not my last. Quiet and smooth on the highway, compared to my old Silverado LT Z71. Ample acceleration, fuel economy isnt as advertised, but whos is?

  I Love it ! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Eby - April 22 - 4:50 am

  this is my first Tacoma truck, and second toyota vehicle after my 2004 Sienna. Im getting 19-20 mileage (Hwy) on my truck which i expect from a toyota.Exterior and Interior designs are really fantastic. High ride, really good control and fast pick up. My wife who hates trucks loves this, that says all.

  2005 Taco - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By aj44mc - March 27 - 10:13 am

  this truck is amazing. After having a 92 toyota pick-up and trading it in for a car, i really missed the feeling of a truck. This truck is everything I missed and more than I could have hoped for.

  Just what I wanted - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Toyota John - March 24 - 9:13 pm

  Looked at every truck available and almost got a Honda. The Toy was not as nice but much more fun to drive. Im on the fwy every day in LA traffic and love the 6 speed, original tires have 65k and will last another 8K months, clutch is solid as the first day. Overall quality is first rate. Interior room is fine but not spacious. I am 64" and my sons are 65" and they love to drive it. Plan to buy the exact same when youngest son takes this. Toyota no longer sells a 6 speed in SoCal so Ill go out state to get one.

  My Tacoma - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Brenda Evans - March 16 - 1:03 am

  My former truck was a V-8 Tundra, till my son put it through two trees doing 65MPH and managed to walk away. My Tacoma is a shortbed. Gas mileage isnt great but better than the Tundra, and it seems just as powerful with the new V-6. Ive got the towing package and have towed with it happily a couple of times. 7000 miles so far and very pleased. My only objection is that I would have liked to have a manual transmission and Toyota doesnt put them in their double cabs. The composite bed is very nice, and Ive already used the rails and removable clips several times. I also like the storage compartments behind the seat in back.

  I luv this truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By luv it - Jamie - February 24 - 2:46 am

  I have had this truck for 3weeks and luv everything about it. I sold my 94 standard 4cyl. 4x4- it had 134,000 on it and ran perfect and I never had to take it in for any problems. I hope this 2005 does the same.

  05 Taco DC-LB 4x4 - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By 05taco - February 23 - 10:33 pm

  Two simple words: Phenomenal truck! This is the second Tacoma Ive owned since 97. This truck has been 100% reliable in the MN winters. 25 below or 12 inches of snow will not slow this truck down. Ive owned other trucks that were cheaper in price, but with the Tacoma you get what you pay for. Compared to other mid-size (or full-size) trucks, its a great value. 100K miles and just broken in!
