Best Truck Ever!
I drove every large truck when deciding on this truck. The large toyota, now with its more powerful engine, just can't be beat. I totally disagree with the editors about the 'chintzy' quality of materials. The others, especially Dodge, were not even close. The only thing you truly give up is the ability to tow more than 7K lbs, which most truck owners won't ever use.
Tundra is the way to go...
Just purchased an 05' SR5 Double Cab and love it. I was debating between the double cab 05' Tacoma and the 05' Tundra and decided that the ride quality in the Tundra was too good to leave behind. The Tacoma still seemed bouncy relative to my 02' Access Cab Tundra. The interior on the 05' Tacoma was impressive but considering the extended wheelbase, I would have expected a better, less bouncy ride. All in all they're both amazing trucks. After owning 5 Toyota's in the last 10 years without a single problem to report, you simply cannot beat Toyota reliability. If you don't need to tow something heavy, I wouldn't even bother with the "big 3".

Double cab and double utility
After 4 months of driving in rain, snow, mud and winter mountain weather I am thrilled with this truck. Every time I drive it I can feel the quality in everything from the butter smooth, powerful V8 to the fantastic 5 speed automatic which has to be the smartest transmission I have ever used. When descending hills, a tap on the brake automatically downshifts the trans. What a great feature. The gas mileage is much better than expected, 16-18 MPG during real world road driving and a solid 15 MPG in town. The extra horsepower in the 2005 V8 is noticable and with the dual exhaust I installed, it gains another 10%. I have not found one thing yet to complain about on this truck.
Toyota First Timer
After the usual dealership hassels I was off in something different than my usual Ford. I own a business and for tax purposes buy a new truck every year or two. The last 10 years have been Fords and after reluctantly test driving the Tundra, I bought one. Man this truck is tight and quick. The exterior styling wasn't my favorite but I figured I don't ride on the outside. The interior seats fit you like a glove, there is slim to none body roll, and when it needs to scoot it will. The 05 Ford Supercrew [$37,000] had not nearly the off the line punch of the Toyota and the interior is a movie theatre. Whereas the Tundra feels more like an extension of the driver
After 5,000 miles with my 2005 Tundra...
I bought the truck used in July 2008 and have been pleasantly surprised at the comfort and performance so far. When buying used, I highly recommend a Toyota off-lease vehicle given that it is easier to see its maintenance history. I didn't buy an extended warranty because I expect Toyota to be built well and durable. So far that is the case and my Tundra drives well, the double cab exceeds my expectations on space and room, the engine provides adequate power for our homeowner and daily driver uses such as hauling lumber, furniture, and the occasional load of dirt or rocks. Everything appears to be functioning as designed. We'll see how well the truck performs as I rack up the miles.
