Toyota Decision 2005: Tundra vs. Tacoma - And the winner is...

Date of Review:  Jul 3, 2005
The Bottom Line: Toyota has really outdone themselves this year with the new Tacoma.
Review: I recently decided to trade in my 2003 Toyota Tacoma on something bigger and with an automatic transmission. My old Tacoma came with a V6, manual transmission, and had four-wheel drive. In the 2.5 years that I owned it, I only used the 4x4 twice. I...

2005 Toyota Tacoma?Everything in one smart package

Date of Review:  Aug 10, 2005
The Bottom Line: I wanted a high-quality, reliable mid-sized truck I can live with everyday?this is it!
Review: After 13 years it was time to trade in my 92'Chevy S10 for a new vehicle. Because I took good care of it, the S10 was a great little truck. However, I wanted an upgrade to some modern conveniences and a more sophisticated drive train. For a long...

Vast Improvement over Previous Tacoma Model Years

Date of Review:  Jan 2, 2005
The Bottom Line: I do recommend this vehicle although there is room for improvement. Most improvements are in the area of amenities. But, Toyota NEEDS to fix the engine noise problem.
Review: I've had my 2005 Toyota Tacoma 4x4 Short Bed Automatic in Radiant Red for about a week and I'm liking it more by the day (unlike my 02 Tacoma which I disliked more by the day). I've had Toyota trucks for most of my adult life and have been...

"The Practical Truck"

Date of Review:  Jun 19, 2005
The Bottom Line: A great practical truck. I rated it low because of the squeakiness and the lack of room in the back in the access cab.
Review: "The Practical Truck"

Let me first start off by saying that I am a very lucky 17 year old who has been given a unique opportunity to drive a new 2005 4X4 Toyota Tacoma each day. I am currently helping run a logging operation so I spend...

Not all is improved

Date of Review:  Sep 8, 2005
The Bottom Line: It is a good quality vehicle with noticeable improvements in the power and handling departments. There are irksome designs changes that detract from this.
Review: I bought the access cab, TRD off road based on previously owning a 2003 Tacoma and loving it. It has noticeably more power. It's wider. The ride is dramatically improved. The Synthetic bed should be a joy to not worry about. The suicide access doors...

Best truck of 2005

Date of Review:  Aug 24, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this truck to any and everyone.
Review: I recently traded my 2004 Nissan 350Z for a 2005 Tacoma Pre-Runner V6 with the SR5#3 package. This package comes with all the basics that I was looking for, power windows, power locks, keyless entry, cruise control, and fog lamps. It has a few other...

Paint Falling off New Dream Truck

Date of Review:  Sep 28, 2006
The Bottom Line: Near perfect for me except for major problem. If I had to do over, I would probably choose Frontier or F-150.
Review: I bought an 05 Tacoma after carefully researching my purchase. It was narrowed down to Tacoma or the new Frontier. I picked the Tacoma for the reputation for quality, styling, interior, etc. Basically I was willing the spend the 5-8k extra for a...

2005 Tacoma

Date of Review:  Sep 7, 2008
The Bottom Line: Don't ever buy a tacoma ive had nothing but problems.
Review: At the end of 2005 i bought my tacoma. Its a v-6 4 wheel drive access cab with the 6 speed manual transmission. Even with the dealer's $4000 rebate i ended up paying over $28,000. I was expecting great quality and reliability because i had heard so...

2005 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner, SR5-pkg. 3

Date of Review:  Aug 20, 2005
The Bottom Line: Buy it if you want one of the best midsize trucks built because Toyota is reliable and sound.
Review: I have been looking at the Toyota Tacoma PreRunners for about two years on e-bay waiting for the right truck to come along. I had no intention of buying a new truck due to the loss in value as you drive it off the lot. But the more I searched and...

Awesome Truck, Toyota got it right with this one.

Date of Review:  Jan 22, 2005
The Bottom Line: I recommend this truck to anyone looking for a classy, quality built, and semi-sporty truck.
Review: After realizing that our 2002 Buick Rendezvous would be suffering from reliability issues in the next few thousand miles, and seeing our need for a vehicle with more cargo capacity, we began researching mid-size pickups. We looked at the Nissan...
