2005 Toyota Tundra Review:
I've had problems with the 4WD banging when taking truck out of 4WD. The dealer replaced the front differential, axles, and transfer case. It will clunk occasionally now but nothing like it was. The brakes click and clack when initially backing up and applying them. Toyota main office told dealer they wouldn't do anything to fix it. Toyota sends regional "experts" to check these problems and they don't have much common sense or technical knowledge. I want to see an older guy with grease under his finger nails not window dressing. With all that said now that the 4WD is fixed I like the truck and plan on keeping it for a long time. It's my first Toyota. My Dodge 4WD never made the noises this one does.

2005 Toyota Tundra Review:
I have a 2000 Toyota Tundra and am fixing to replace the 5th oxygen sensor. I have called customer service with no results. I have also emailed with no results. There has to be something wrong with the sensors. They have replaced thousands from what I understand.

nice smooth lines, quiet! They may say you can't tow much, but I beg to differ. The LSD rear diff is awsome, suspension is tough and comfortable

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Toyota Tundra?
I would like to have more leg room in the back access cab but other than that it is a toyota built, perfect.

2005 Toyota Tundra Review:
awsome probably will never be satisfied with another truck again.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Toyota Tundra?
Quiet ride. Better than our '03 Honda Accord. We drive it cross country from CA to Vermont because it rides better and is quieter than our Accord.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Toyota Tundra?
Paint quality is bad as has been the case with other Toyota's we have owned. This shows up in other reports too. Have the factory recognize and correct problems. They tend to be hard headed.

2005 Toyota Tundra Review:
Our '05, TRD, has been a joy to own. Paint quality is still lacking. It has been more dependable and rides better than any of the many pickups we have owned. We had a '00 Tundra. The brakes were inferior and the body had integrity problems. The paint was among the worst I have ever had.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Toyota Tundra?
The size--larger than a Tacoma, more room and minimal sacrafice of gas mileage for a whole lot more power using Regular Unleaded; the Tacoma V6 requires Premium. Engine (V8) and 5-speed automatic transmission are very smooth--the truck is quieter than my Camry.

Toyota quality shows.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Toyota Tundra?
Turn Signals on Exterior Mirrors
