  Dont be fooled - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Dan - May 10 - 3:43 pm

  My father always said, never buy the first year of a new model or redesigned model and I didnt listen to him. This truck has had so many problems I cant even count them. It has been in the shop repeatedly since day one. To this day, I still cant get anyone to admit that the exhaust sounds like it has a leak. I thought I was buying quality, but I was fooled. Dont be. Buy a 2007 or later. By all they have learned about mine, those next years should be great!

  Best truck ever - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By LunarEclipseGSX - March 4 - 8:33 pm

  Ive driven dozens of vehicles from sports cars to turbo-diesel heavy duty trucks, and this Tacoma is the best of both worlds. Not only can I haul (literally) a ton of material, but I can easily tow another fully laden Tacoma. The interior is simple, yet sophisticated, and it simply looks better than any other truck on the road. Its not the best on gas mileage, but Im only noticing cuz my previous vehicle was a 1.6L Sentra. This is a great overall vehicle and I highly recommend it, unless youre on a tight fuel budget.

  2005 Tacoma Sport 4X2 "SOLID" - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Happy Harvick - February 27 - 2:10 am

  Great truck with solid reputation. Aggressive body style with engine to match. As my 3rd truck I am surprised by how solid this truck performs.

  Exceeds expectations - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By MOMAN - February 7 - 6:26 am

  Purchased Tacoma 2WD 4 cylinder access cab in April. I like driving it as well as my 05 Solara XLE. Power acceptable, comfortable and fun to drive. With less than 2,000 miles on odometer, consistently getting 25+ MPG. Quality of interior is exceptional. Traded in a 2003 Dakota with 17,000 miles. No comparison between the two vehicles. Access cab doors are great! Sound system rivals the Solara sound system. Seating is very comfortable for the "long drive." If you want luxury, economy, convenience, utility, comfort, and safety; this is your truck.

  Love My Baby - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Terri - February 4 - 7:16 pm

  I have dreamed about owning a Toy Truck since 1985 when Back To The Future came out. My parents got one back in the early 90s and I was insanely jealous and so when I totaled my car I got another car but my heart was set on the truck so I said I only have this one life so I broke down and bought it. I love how I feel when Im driving and I get so many compliments on it and her name is Bagheera. She is a dream come true and I have never been happier.

  05 Tacoma, V6 Double Cab-Great Truck - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By Tony Lively - February 2 - 9:23 am

  Ive been looking for MY truck for 40years. Finally they made it. TheToyota Tacoma PreRunner V6 fills all my needs and has extras to spare. Size, holds 5 passengers in comfort, Long Bed is plenty large and I love the tie-downs in tracks with a protected bedliner standard. This truck has power and low-end pull and is at home on the Interstate where it often cruises quietly. Safety is included with 2 SRS front air bags, 3 pt. safety belts, overhead roll cage enforcement, ABS brakes. Ive purchased Toyota Camrys since 1988, 92, 01, and one Corolla for my daughter. The quality in the workmanship and low upkeep, good mileage was enough to make me try my 05 Tacoma. Im glad that I did!

  Awesome mid-size design! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By wind_dog - January 6 - 8:10 am

  The larger mid-sized truck is the design compromise I’ve been waiting for. It gets far better mileage than a full-size and it’s definitely easier to park in the ever-shrinking spaces. It’s a comfortable ride with power to spare driving around town and it has the beef to pull a trailer up the mountains. I’ve added a new fiberglass topper and now I get 19/22 plus mpg. The TRD package provides remarkable factory off-road performance with locking differential, skid plates, ample ground clearance, and suspension. The on-board generator, composite bed, and yes - the cup holders are the attention to detail I expect from a well-built truck. The styling and dark blue color turn heads everywhere I go!

  Vibrating Tacoma - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By kdea - December 31 - 1:10 pm

  I am overall happy with my Tacoma, unfortunately my vehicle has an on going engine vibration problem. I have been back to the dealer 5 times with no end in site. I have only had the truck for 3.5 months. Dont believe that imports are trouble free.

  Taco Time - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
  By bill55 - December 29 - 3:13 pm

  The perfect truck for my family. Roomy and comfortable on long trips and at the same time sporty and with good acceleration for passing. It is a good all around truck and well built as well.
