  I love my Taco! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By drg - December 16 - 6:26 am

  Got the Prerunner, Access, 4 cyl, manual. Ordered it. Great styling inside & out. This is my first Toyota & Im very impressed, tho I feel shafted by the dealer. The prerunner concept is great - the looks of 4WD w/o the cost. Only problem is the clutch pedal is killing my calf. The pedal throw is way too much - my heel hits the floorboard before the clutch is 1/2 way depressed so I have to point my toes to the extreme in order to shift. Shoulda got an automatic! The dealer cant tell me if the pedal is adjustable unless I bring it in. Got it for 1% over invoice but the dealer said I couldnt order VSC. Toyota should ditch the dealers and let people order straight from the factory!

  Happy w/ 05 Toyota Tacoma Dbl Cab L-Bd - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By From Highway to Mtns - November 15 - 11:30 pm

  No buyers remorse here. I put 275K on my last Toyota truck and have every expectation of doing it again with my PK package Double Cab Long Bed. With 1500 miles on the truck, Im getting 21 mpg on the highway and 17 city. Im using the recommend 91 octane; even though the dealer said 87 would do. The truck is an eye-catcher, getting comments everywhere it goes. I would be comfortable taking on the town for a black-tie affair or into the mountains, as I did this past weekend, for climbing trails and hauling wild-game.

  By mikethesatisfied - September 18 - 10:00 am

  This is the best truck that Ive ever owned. Ive owned several trucks, Mazda, Chevrolet,Dodge and a Ford. But as far as comfort and ride goes, Toyota can not be beaten.

  An Awesome Truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Christopher Lukasz - September 8 - 9:23 am

  The best truck I ever owned, I have about 15000 miles on it now and its still feels like it brand new. Only problem that I had was the rear springs were making noise but all they need was a little grease and now theyre good as new. I highly recomend this truck to anybody, I think its the best truck out there right now.

  This is a great truck coming from a 1985 GMC Sierra. The gas mileage is great and it is a great truck to all over the place. I really love this truck

  Great Truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By huey - July 31 - 6:13 pm

  4x4 TRD Sport DCab LB in silver. This truck is awesome and so surprise that my mom actually likes it too(she hates trucks) but since its so smooth/quiet, she loves it. Lots of power and handles great.

  I love my Tacoma! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By boone88rr - July 21 - 11:36 pm

  Ive only had my truck for about a month now. Its fantastic. I thought it wouldnt be as exciting as driving my BMW but it is! Im still "breaking-in" the engine and the gas mileage improves everyday. I test drove the 4 cylinder and it had great power but as soon as I drove the V6, I couldnt go back. Its a rocket on the road and I cant wait to take it 4x4-ing on the beach and the 4 wheel drive will come in handy if we have another winter like the last one here in the Northeast. Its my first brand new car/truck so Ive definitely been babying it. My girlfriend is a little jealous. It wasnt named "2005 Truck of the Year" for nothing!

  Back to Toyota - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Lisco - July 1 - 12:56 pm

  I 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 pm

  A 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!!!
