2005 Toyota Tacoma

shamrok · 08-30-2004, 08:13 PM

I've owned 3 Tacomas and been waiting on pictures of the newest one to decide if I want another.

Much better than the spy shots, I think I like, don't know yet. But the engine I do like...4.0L 245hp-283lb/ft to replace the old (and awesome!) 3.4L 190hp engine. Oh yeah, and TRD will have a blower for this new engine as well.

Also finally has suicide doors on XCab models.

If it has the same suspension, I'll probably get one, because aftermarket parts market for the current one is huge.

I have a 99 (had a 2000 and a 2001 before) and I love it but really think the current 2004 needs updating. The engine is awesome, drove the 4Runner with the same engine....hmmm, we'll see.

My favorite picture so far...

But usually well worth it in reliability and resale value.

good: power/torque vs fuel economy.
