  • Better Than Ever - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Toyota owner from way back... Very pleased with my new purchase.... I owned a 2002 Toyota Tacoma and there is no comparison. Its like they created an entirely new vehicle. I surprised the folks at toyota didnt create a new model, thats how different this Tacoma is!

  • I like my Tacoma! - 2005 Toyota Tacoma

    Great truck -- Great vehicle. I traded in a full-size Chevy Silverado, and I can now say after putting the first 5000 miles on this truck, I made the right choice. It drives right and it looks good! After a 3000 mile road trip, I could not be happier with my choice. I added a cover for the back, nerf bars, and a trailer hitch -- Im set!

  • complete package - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    Just bought truck yesterday after months of research. Has TRD Sport Package with towing,had to have the rims and limited slip,well worth the $ for. Had it narrowed down between this and nissan frontier; however, toyota won out over because of, room in back seat for my daughter with car seat, more standard features, nice gauge cluster back lit red,adjustable cup holder sizes, and just a bigger truck over all. Have had 4 nissans previously, but now they cost just as much as toyota. researching resale on net found toyota had better residuals after 4 years than competition. And wife thought it looked better!

  • 2005 Access Cab Big Disappointment - 2005 Toyota Tacoma
    By -

    I purchased my 2005 Tacoma Prerunner with 4-cyl/5M new after doing a lot of research from forums, specification reports, and going on test-drives. This is the model that looks like a 4- wheel-drive and has an extended cab (they call it the access cab). I can now say after having it for 17,000 miles that I am very disappointed in it for two reasons: actual vs. posted fuel mileage and wind noise with the latter being the primary reason I am selling it. I wanted only one vehicle to commute to work and haul music equipment. It had to be of high quality, above 25mpg highway fuel rating, and have adequate storage space (I assumed the ride would be reasonably quiet as are competitors models).
