2005 Toyota Tundra
Toyota Tundra 2005
The Tundra is anonymously handsome, its capable components covered in sheetmetal much better fit for pushing through air than stirring feelings. Within its broad-appeal style, the Tundra is pure Toyota, concentrated on worth, feature, and utility. For instance, climbing up right into the Tundra is a bit easier compared to in many other full-size vehicles, as a result of its a little shorter general stature-- non-Double Taxicab Tundras are three to 5 inches much shorter compared to the Ford F-150 and also Dodge Ram-- and also its light, easy-to-open doors. It's still a climb, however, so, like a lot of other pick-up manufacturers, Toyota offers A- and B-pillar-mounted grab takes care of for support.
Out back, getting products into the bed is alleviated by a practical load elevation. The Tundra's tailgate is extremely hefty, though, as well as wrestling with it had us longing for Ford's Tailgate Assist attribute, which utilizes an integrated torsion bar to earn shutting the rear of the F-150 a breeze. An additional niggle: The optional bedliner drinks and rattles over bumps; Nissan has the ideal suggestion by supplying a spray-in bedliner for the Titan.
And though they could adversely influence ride quality, somewhat bigger wheels might serve to spruce up the Tundra's somewhat dowdy appearance-- the conventional 16-inchers look tiny, as well as the optional 17s typically aren't better. The 2005 versions are differentiated just by updated head- as well as taillamps.
The functional design greatly rollovers for 2005, with superb worldly quality and top-notch fit and coating throughout. All the surface areas really feel excellent to the touch, and the controls are textbook examples of user interface simpleness. The control panel was upgraded for 2005, and also a brand-new optional navigation system is offered on select four-door versions. The optional between-seat console is especially nice, with a flip-up notepad owner as well as a charitable opening capable of swallowing copious quantities of traveling equipment. Front-seat convenience serves, yet deals with a lack of side boosting as well as back-rests that seem also upright whatever the level of recline. The driving placement is second-to-none, nonetheless, with superior exposure out the front and a tilt steering wheel that constantly seems to be at a comfortable angle.
For back travelers, there are up to 4 mug holders as well as, in Dual Taxicab arrangement, a power vertical sliding rear home window that, when combined with the optional sunroof, provides the Tundra a much more airy, open feel than in other trucks. The rear bench experiences, once more, upright seatbacks, level cushions, and also an absence of cushioning, yet below those qualities are necessitated by flip-and-fold seats. In Dual Cabs, they fold up level then topple forward, developing a large storage space location where items can be protected through straps constructed in to the bottom of the flattened seats. If you have actually still obtained even more stuff to stow away, there are also different containers as well as cubbies concealed under and also behind the rear seats.Other gripes relating to the interior concern dark instrument-panel lights-- even dialed up all the way, some switches were also difficult to read at night, and still others weren't lit up whatsoever.
In addition to the between-seat console, which is included with the dual front container seats alternative, interior embellishments consist of rear-seat DVD enjoyment (Dual Taxicab only), a sunroof, as well as a JBL in-dash six-disc CD changer.
While it could not be a course leader in regards to dimension or sales, the Tundra definitely wins leading marks for its lengthy list of readily available safety features. While just anti-lock brakes and also dual front airbags are standard throughout the Tundra lineup, Toyota uses side and also side drape air bags-- along with digital security and also grip control-- to Double Taxi customers. The Nissan Titan matches this listing of safety attributes, but the Ford F-150 as well as GMC Sierra can only be had with ABS and also double front airbags.
The Tundra uploaded excellent scores in NHTSA's frontal crash examinations: 4 celebrities for the motorist and an excellent 5 for the traveler. The passenger mark ties for best-in-class with the Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram 1500, both which also notched best 5's in the driver's- side examination.
The Tundra is available with one of two engines: a 4.0-liter/ 245-horse V-6, shown to the Tacoma and 4Runner, and a 4.7-liter/ 282-horse V-8 that's also found in the Sequoia. While these engine result numbers could trail those of rivals, the Tundra considers less than the various other vehicles. The V-6 can be coupled with either a six-speed manual transmission (new this year, changing a five-speed guidebook) or a five-speed automatic. The V-8 is just available with the autobox. Downshifts with the automated are nearly instant, overall power delivery is silky smooth, and also the throttle response is instant, though not as aggressive as that of the Nissan Titan. In 4 × 4 instances, power is routed via an online regulated transfer case; the kind of drive-- two-wheel, four-wheel high, or four-wheel low-- is chosen through dash-mounted controls.
The 4.7-liter V-8 does a good task of motivating also the Double Taxi SR5 4 × 4, as well as it's greater than fit to push the remainder of the Tundra lineup, that includes variations virtually 700 extra pounds lighter. The V-8 is extremely silent as it goes about its work; even at full-throat, the audio from under the hood is smothered, giving the Tundra a refined top quality.
Improvement is just what the Tundra is all about, from the automatic transmission moving easily with equipment changes to the tractable as well as subdued V-8. The truck is perfectly damped, and also the inside is quiet also over the gnarliest of roads. The double-wishbone front and leaf-spring rear suspension capably controls side-to-side motions as well as maintains residents delighted and comfy-- up until you push the envelope, in which instance, the Tundra rolls as well as pitches, as would certainly any type of big truck. However remember, excitement as well as dynamic performance aren't part of the equation below; believe tranquility, loosened up, and also easygoing. However, "relaxed" likewise defines the numb guiding-- it isn't as communicative or accurate as the Ford F-150's-- as well as the brakes, which might utilize more power and also pedal feel.
While it will not likely be the front runner for buyers looking for a good ol' pickup, the present Tundra offers a qualified, polished, and safe compromise in between mid- as well as full-size pick-ups. As well as though it's not as huge as the behemoths from Detroit, the Toyota's optimum payload ranking of 2,025 extra pounds (3rd in class, just behind GM's vehicles) and also its 7,100-pound max tow rating offer sufficient muscle for the periodic durable chore. Its lowered size likewise makes it much easier to steer through stopped up city roads and also right into tight garage.
Tundra customers get a three-year/36,000- mile bumper-to-bumper warranty, as well as five-year/60,000- mile powertrain insurance coverage and a five-year, unlimited-mileage rust-through guarantee. Plus, purchasers have the complete satisfaction of acquiring an automobile with a tested worth record, as evidenced by its Superb IntelliChoice Price Value Ranking, making sure a great return on investment down the road.
A well-refined truck, the Tundra's added muscle mass and Finest Total Value condition make it a has to for any type of smart truck buyer's checklist.

An all-new model is anticipated for 2007, yet Toyota hasn't already neglected the present Tundra. For 2005, the company dropped the 4 × 4 Access Taxicab with a V-6 and included a 4 × 2 regular-cab setup for V-8 purchasers. Various other remarkable modifications consist of a front bench-seat alternative for Dual Taxis, brand-new head- as well as taillights, a revamped control panel, and also an available navigating system in Accessibility Taxi Limited and also Double Taxicab models.
