  05 Tacoma - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By djwtarheel - October 23 - 10:43 am

  I was looking for a reliable, comfortable truck that I could use as a daily driver in the city as well as for the "typical" uses for a truck. I have a dbl cab V6 A/T SB 4x2- TRD sport package and the ride is smooth and much less jarring than most other trucks Ive driven. The engine is powerful and smooth, but a bit noisier than I expected. Gas mileage is a bit above average for other trucks in this class. The interior fit and finish is great, and it is nicely laid out and very functional. Sport seats are extremely comfortable and the back seat has plenty of room for passengers to ride along for more than just a quick outing like many of the competitors.

  The Perfect Truck!! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By aesmith3 - October 9 - 1:40 am

  This is the perfect midsize truck, even though it feels like a fullsize when its driven. The build quality is not to be beaten, especially by Dodge, Ford, and GM. The interior materials are much nicer than pretty much any truck out there. In the short time that Ive owned the Tacoma, I cant find one thing wrong with it. I expect to own this truck for a very, very long time.

  Great Truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Michael - October 8 - 11:00 am

  I purchased a prerunner with the SR5 package. 2 wheel drive, 5 spd., 4cyl. The fit and finish are the best of any truck I compared. The power is good and its fun to drive. Very nice interior with lots of room. A very nice truck for little money with great gas mileage.

  Worth the the wait - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By demoncleaner - October 2 - 2:33 am

  Been in market for new midsize truck for over a year. Always owned Ford or Chevy. Other trucks on market are NO comparision. Drive them first then the Taco. Got a TRD Sport pkg, 4x4, Double cab 5ft bed, with a 6spd manual (thank you Toyota). Took 7 weeks to get here after ordering. No electric driving aids (trac control, stability control) Very happy that they offered a 6 spd manual in a 4 door truck and still retained a 6500 lb towing cap. With 1200 miles no problems, Gas mileage as advertised, but run 89+ octane gas. On 87 she pings down low, and runs rough when on the gas, also I noticed better mileage on high octane

  4x2 Base Access Cab 4A - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By bearcrkrd - September 19 - 8:10 pm

  16,000 miles in 6 months, no problems. Ride is a bit jarring at lower speeds over potholes, etc. Smooths out on freeway, you can go all day. Get 25-28 mpg on freeway, not much lower on two-lane roads. Decent stereo. I do not tow or haul, so cant comment on how this 4-banger handles that.

  Driving one will make you want one! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Alex Rohmer - September 19 - 7:00 am

  This is my first truck, and I have got to say that it is the funnest vehicle I have owned. I have always had sport sedans/coupes but this time decided on a truck. This truck is sportier and as good handling as any car Ive owned. Plus, I can off-road with it. Get lots of looks from pretty babes and jealous dudes! Comfort, ride, quality are great! Gas mileage is good being a V6 4x4. Great versatile to the hilt, utility/elegant/4 passangers/etc. You can do everything in this truck :) The interiors are great, the stereo is extraordinary with deep rich bass and clear and crisp trebble. A must have all round complete vehicle.

  New and Improved Tacoma - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By pete - September 9 - 5:33 am

  I just upgraded from a 2002 tacoma, prerunner, TRD. That truck has nothing on my 2005 prerunner. Everything I wished I had on my old truck, this truck has. A more powerful engine, larger interior and bed, and redesigned interior. I chose to go without the TRD, and I am pleased with my decision. This truck is so smooth it rides like a luxury SUV. The 4.0 V6 is just enough power to get me in trouble, and allows me to pass the slower and bigger domestic trucks with ease. This is my third toyota tacoma, and my favorite by far. There is no comparison.

  Satisfied - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Jordan - August 16 - 10:36 pm

  I purchased this truck because I needed something to haul stuff for gardening, home improvements, etc. I was sick of putting things in the trunk of my car. I wanted a truck with good mileage and styling. I didnt want to pay a lot. This truck accomplished all of this. At 64" tall, it was also the most comfortable, compact truck I could find.

  Great truck to drive and enjoy. Very good off-road and easy to drive. The Tacoma is a wonderful step up for Toyota.

  The Perfect Truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Gozz - August 3 - 1:40 am

  The V6 6spd manual has fulfilled every expectation I had excluding the lack of floor tie downs at the front of the bed. I have been getting 19-20 mpg, which is fantastic considering my last vehicle was a 1500 Dodge Ram that averaged 12-13 mpg. The truck has a great ride and plenty of power when you ask for it. If you are looking for a great truck, and considering a Tacoma, you are looking in the right direction!
