Car Forum / Toyota / Toyota Trucks / October 2005Buying a 05 Tacoma - Suggestions/Comments Appreciated
Planning on buying an 05 Tacoma 4x4 in the next two weeks. Will replace a 99 F150. Will be used on road but need the 4x4 for winter because of my rural, unplowed subdivision. Suggestions on model, i.e. base, prerunner, etc. Comments on options or anything appreciated. I have a 2005 2.7L 4CYL Regular Cab - 23-25 MPG-good power-no problems-bought 12/31/04-well built > Planning on buying an 05 Tacoma 4x4 in the next two weeks. Will replace a > 99 F150.

Through my experience on choosing what type of vehicle to buy I find test driving different models and makes, that is, if you can.

Get the v-6, the 4 is nice, in real time tests, the fuel consumption is almost identical... and u get more power with the 6 it seems though - more maintenance is required with the 6 - tuneups at 30,000 instead of 120,000 comes to mind >> Planning on buying an 05 Tacoma 4x4 in the next two weeks.

It has good power, but not enuf for me to want the i-4. My old 90 was identical and added lumar supports and factory sunroof. Your probably really dont need 4x4. The prerunner will save you $4k and 500 pounds of machinery. I really dont need 4x4 either. So I got 4x4 because I wanted. You should decide for yourself too. I mean who cares if I get stuck at the lodge in a snow storm. To the lodge is important. getting home can wait. > Planning on buying an 05 Tacoma 4x4 in the next two weeks. Will replace a > 99 F150.
