Overview & Reviews

The base engine is now a 245-hp, 4.0-liter V6 that uses either a six-speed manual or optional five-speed automatic. The optional 4.7-liter V8 now makes 282 hp and is coupled with a standard five-speed automatic transmission. Two-wheel-drive regular cabs are now available with a V8 engine, while four-wheel-drive Access Cabs can no longer be equipped with a V6. Regular cabs equipped with the V8 get a color-keyed grille and chrome front bumper, as well as vinyl flooring and a cloth bench seat. Two new alloy wheel designs are available on Access Cab and Double Cab models, and all Tundras get new headlamps and rear combination lamps. Inside, new gauges and an available navigation system with JBL audio spruce things up a bit. In addition, Double Cabs can now get a 60/40-split bench front seat for true six-passenger seating. Front side-impact airbags and full-length head curtain airbags are now available on Double Cabs.

• Smooth and refined V8, Toyota build quality and reliability, nimble off-road, most carlike of the full-size trucks.

• Lacks serious brawn for towing and hauling, narrow cabin, chintzy interior materials.

  4 years running... - 2005 Toyota Tundra
  By Mike H. - October 17 - 9:16 am

  This is a 4 year review. This should give used sales a boost. First, the reliability is superior. At 40,000, no major problems except for regular scheduled maintenance. I mainly use the truck for traveling. I average approx. 16 mpg. The comfort exceeds any truck I have owned previously. Handles a heavy load well. Load the truck up with timber and still rides like an SUV. The transmission is exceptionally smooth. After 4 years, my Tundra has held up well. I would certainly buy one again.

  Tundra - 2005 Toyota Tundra
  By Peter M. Shanley - October 1 - 9:03 pm

  Fist of all I love the Truck, its color is Phantom Grey Pearl. If you want the extras, you have to supervise everything! Over all Toyota has an extremely high quality product! I tested the Ford Lightening, & the Chevey Silverado, & the Dodge Hemi. I personaly liked the Toyota! It gets beter fuel economy, has a beter ride, & handles better. Oh, & if your quick enough, at the stop light, youll blow their doors off!

  What a great truck! - 2005 Toyota Tundra
  By Nick026 - September 30 - 7:23 am

  I decided this time go Toyota becauseI needed reliability and nothing else even came close in reliability. So far I have not been disappointed at all. It drives like a lexus and is very responsive. I absoloutly love my truck. I can easily use it for work and pleasure as it fits my wife and 3 kids wonderfully. I test drove some of the others but as soon as I drove this one I knew I had to have it.

  I Love My Tundra - 2005 Toyota Tundra
  By Virginia Heredia - September 16 - 4:16 pm

  For a truck it is really fun and I know I can go anwhere and not worry about breakdown. It is easy and comfortable to drive and park. I am having bearing problems with the fan belt and I am low on oil about every 1800 miles (about 1 quart) for which I will be dealing with Longo on this. It is stylish and very truck looking, not like the sissy front ends of the Silverado. Interior is simple but effective. I wish it had a outside temperature gauge. But overall I LOVE MY TUNDRA!! (wish I could have afforded a 4X4)

  Excellent Truck for work and pleasure - 2005 Toyota Tundra
  By Bill - August 26 - 8:56 am

  My wife prefers riding in my truck on trips over her Infinity I35. She says it is more comfortable. The truck tows my 21boat with ease. Ive owned Chevys, Nissans and a T100 in the past and this is by far the best. Great truck.

  By charlie - April 7 - 8:43 pm

  excellent truck with traditional toyota quality...good economy for a full size truck and PLENTY of power and torque; I expect to keep this truck for a good while (my fourth toyota)...my 93 corolla has 310K on it and STILL gets 40 mpg........why go anywhere else ?

  Love it!!! - 2005 Toyota Tundra
  By Ryan - January 10 - 1:46 am

  Having previousally owned a smaller Dodge with the same enging as my new Tundra, I decided to give up the 4x4 and go with the 4 doors (maybe next time I can get both). I am very glad that I did. I love everything about this truck. It gets better gas mileage then my old Dakota with a 4.7, and it tows the boat like its not even there.
