I like my Tundra V8 with the TRD package, but I'm not crazy about it. Ride and handling are great. I've had an irritating rumble/vibration that Toyota claims is a harmonic vibration from the exhaust and they have no fix for it. Live with it is their answer. Very disappointed with the gas mileage. From March to July 2005 I got 14 to 16 mpg. Since then I am averaging 11 to 12 mpg. This is for all round driving. I don't let the truck warm up forever before driving it so very little idling time. Getting some wind noise from somewhere around the windshield that wasn't there when I bought the truck. I have 7400 mi. on it now. Overall I think this is just a so - so vehicle.

I purchased this truck for work (copper mining), but I love taking it out on the weekends. The 4.7L V-8 gets the job done around town, but I have yet to see how it tows something really heavy. You should defiantly consider the TRD package if you spend as much time off road as I do (75%). The larger tires and beefy suspension with the TRD package is great for off roads and it rides like a car on the streets. I also purchased the truck with the TRD dual exhaust package. I think you may find an after market exhaust system for less money, but the low rumble you get when you drive is well worth the extra money.

I currently own the 2005 Toyota Tundra Limited 4dr 4x4 and it is the best vehicle that I have owned yet! I bought the truck with 50,000 miles on it and have since put 30,000 more miles onto it and it hasnt even had a hicup. I have driven the truck from Colorado to the tip of texas and back, hauled a packed full 6'x12' trailer from Colorado to New York and then from New York to Oklahoma and havent had a single problem or gripe with this truck. I currently use it as a daily driver and occasionally to haul the 4 wheeler to the sand dunes for a fun weekend.

This truck is made here in the USA in Princeton, Indiana. The truck has most of the vehicle components made here, made with the quality that America is know for. It is a truck made for the American market of working and outdoor folks. The size of the truck is not too big to be overwhelming driving it around the city, in compare to the second and third generation big Tundras (even though they offer a bigger towing and payload capacity). This truck is the perfect size for my application of hauling gear and people for mountain biking. That is all the good things about the truck. Now for some of it not so great features. The equipped 4.7L engine requires the timing belt to be change every 100,000 miles, not a big headache once you do it the first time for a DIYer. The other dislike is the lack of more storage space for stowing gear in neatly order in the bed or the cab. The under the rear seat in the crew cab is small, just to put 4 half gallon milk jugs end to end.

Toyota should warn consumers on ball joint failure

I was always a happy owner of my 2005 Toyota Tundra. Now i will never own another Toyota again. My front wheel fell off because of the ball joint failure. I just had it in Deery's Brothers Toyota 2 months ago about an air bag replacement and I asked them to check the terrible noise in front end. The service department said everything was fine. By God grace that I was not killed or killed someone else my front drivers side wheel fell off in a Menards parking lot last Friday. Toyota has a problem. I called Deerys on Tuesday because I saw there was a recall on the ball joints and mine was replaced and I told the nice person they needed replaced or looked at again. I got no response. I am hoping a class action lawsuit will be made and Toyota owns up to this terrible design. Sorry Toyota after years of bragging about your vehicles I am now one who is very disappointed by your cars and trucks. Thank you and I hope no one gets killed driving your vehicles.
