2005 Tacoma pics
These pics are off of TTORA and Tundra Solutions. Bud posted in another thread but that one has multiple pages on it. I think this one needs a thread of its own

too big for me 
whatever happened to the "compact truck" market? it's becoming like the '70s once again, stuff that was once small is getting big, ugly, and impractical.

The increased angle of the front windshield and the larger front grill seems to be the latest trend.

Yeah, it looks kind of domestic... it looks kind of Dodge-ish to me.

i'd say more like 99.9%, if there was even a 10% market they'd make a special version IMO
Its also too big for my tastes, i'd rather have a mid-size truck. Those things drive like boats. Good luck parking one in a big busy city, then again you could say that about my truck too (DOH)

I saw a few of these and an Xrunner with a 6 speed manual in houston last week. Also saw the new Landcruiser with vvti. One of the Tacomas was parked next to a Tundra and was almost as big.
One other thing. The beds are abs. No coating, no liner. Solid plastic. I even crawled under one to look. Sure enough. Plastic. Pretty thick, but I wonder what happens the first time someone throws a shortblock or something in there. I guess it would be nice not to have to get a bedliner of some sort, but I question the strength.
