Back to Toyota - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
By Lisco - July 1 - 12:56 pmI have owned and driven trucks of all makes, mid-size and full size. My wife will drive nothing but Toyota cars. My most recent truck was a new design mid-size domestic model and I was very disappointed, most notably the fuel economy. I did not want another full size truck because I use one for everyday use and not for work. The new double cab Tacoma long bed suits my needs. I have owned it for one month and driven over 3,200 miles on the open road, hilly back roads, and city, and did so at 22 mpg for the month. It is good to be back in a Toyota.

New Toy on Road - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
By Jans Toy - June 5 - 10:46 pmA woman whos never owned a truck before had little to compare her new toy with. Though she drove in many trucks and really disliked them. Most of them felt like a truck. Bouncy and uncomfortable. But the new 2005 Toyota Tacoma comfort is more like riding in a car. Could be because of the new suspension this year. The 4 wheel drive is automatic and that is a plus for us women. Had a guy from work check it out and he is impressed with the horsepower and the V6 4.0L engine. So this truck is a plus for men too. Cant wait until the engine is broke in to go playing. Check it out!!!

Toyota at its best!!! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
By Maz13 - June 3 - 3:40 pmPreRunner 4dr Access Cab TRD Off Road, love the height of the vehicle. Great clearance, cabin space, wheels, engine. It seems like its a vehicle that will last for a very long time. Moved up from a GMC 98Jimmy and feel very happy with the change. My wife loves this new truck. I cant wait to accessorize it with all the toys for the bed and the cabin. Its a little bumpy though for the streets in Puerto Rico, although I think all pickups are (first pick-up). Got around 18mpg on my first tank, well see how it goes on.

2005 Tacoma - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
By Mark - May 29 - 2:53 amDamn near perfect. Smooth ride, fun to drive and looks GREAT. A rock solid truck from Toyota. Toyota is showing they want to play and are willing to do what needs to be done to play with the Big Boys. Great interior creature comforts and a peppy 4cyl engine that is more than enough for the average homeowner. Good fuel economy as well.

Beware of Delphi Battery - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
By John - May 25 - 9:16 pmGreat truck; however, the GM parts contribution of the Delphi battery spewed battery acid all over the inner fender and hood. $836 (warranty paid) and two weeks later (in a rental car, also warranty paid) the body shop is still trying to repair the damage. So, including the battery the total cost to repair is about $1306, or 8% of the purchase price. Other than that I love the truck and cant wait until I get it back. I suggest not taking delivery until the GM battery is changed out.
