Pros: What do you like about 2005 Toyota Tacoma?
Everything, especially the overall quality and the V-8 like torque.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Toyota Tacoma?
I have the 2007 quad-cab Pre-Runner w/offroad package.I would improve the soft brakes w/discs on the rear. I came from a 350z out of necessity so I am touchy about the flex in the frame,but I am aware it is a truch and not a sports car.

2005 Toyota Tacoma Review:
The size and quality of materials are first rate. This is my first Toyota, I have and still own Hondas and Nissans. I am really impressed with the interior layout. I will be using my Pre-runner for work and 2nd vehicle. But my Pre-runner is a 07 model and the brakes aren't up to the quality of the rest of the vehicle. But I am very hapy with my first Toyota.
