Unhappy

Frame is rusting out, and Toyota refuses to do anything, they have had recalls for other models, but not mine . Not satisfied at all with the customer service . Do not understand why they refuse to acknowledge the poor quality on the frame

Older Tundra Disappoints

I purchased this truck in 2020. It had 89,000 miles and was driven by a little old lady who purchased it new. It was a deal I could not pass up. The truck replaced my Ford F150 that had 150,000 miles. I expected much more from a Toyota. The turning radius is just awful, it rides like a heavy-duty truck and has less interior space than my older truck. It might be a case of having an owner who wants more a car than a truck.

2005 Toyota Tundra - Overrated Vehicle

Had frame corrosion that competely ate through the frame. Toyota would not back up the failure. They had a recall to supposedly correct this with an anticorrosive coating - but that did nothing to prevent the actual frame problem. Had to have welding repairs made. Also had a secondary air injection system failure that requires extensive engine work to repair (again not covered). Truck midwoofer speakers crapped out and Toyota really overprices replacement speakers - plus made them in an odd size. Replaced with Infinity Kapps which fit, were way better and cost a lot less. I've kept the truck as I don't put a lot of miles on it. Also had trouble with head gasket failure on 3.0 engine for a Toyota 4Runner. Will never buy another Toyota.

My Truck is Awesome

The 2005 Toyota Tundra is just the perfect truck for me. It is not the smallest or the biggest truck out there. The cab can comfortably seat 5 people with plenty of leg room in the back. The truck bed is also better length wise compared to the later models. I've had people and dealerships wanting to buy my truck for the condition it is in and the demand for this body style. No thanks, I'll keep it.

Fits the bill nicely for us.

I'd have given this truck a 5 star but for 2 design issues. They aren't problems, per se, but are irritants to our enjoyment of the truck. 1 is the design of the door arm rests. There isn't a comfortable place to rest one's arm due to the placement of the 'pulls' for closing the door. They're raised and surrounded by hard plastic right where a person's elbow rests. 2 is the steps to enter the truck. This is a 2wd and therefore not as high as most, but the placement of the steps (running boards?) is only 2-3 inches below the level of the floor. One still has to step very high to get in the truck via these steps and it means having to duck down to enter the cab and exiting requires effort to get up from the seat. It makes it feel as though one is sitting on a very low chair. We're retired and I'm looking to have the brackets replaced to lower the step. Both of these items should have been noted by simply getting in and out of the truck and driving it for a few miles by the designers. Other than those 2 that irritate every time it's driven, I wish I'd noted the need to open both doors to access the back seat. Picture being in a parking lot and needing to load or unload a couple bags of groceries in the back seat into or out of a grocery cart.

4 door Tundra, 2005

I had this truck for 10 years and it's run like a dream. Toyota got this model right. Driven it all around America with no problems. Do my maintenance like clock work and the truck just keep running like the day I bought it. Only problem it suck fuel like there is no tomorrow.

My Toyota

I love it because it's all I have to drive. I like it because, so far, it has been reliable. It drives good and it's comfortable to drive and ride it.

05 Tundra

My 05 Tundra has been an awesome vehicle and is easy to drive. Pulls any load I have attached to it. No problems with the truck in 130,000 miles.

Comfortable and Durable Ride

I am the second owner of my Tundra. I like the overall comfort, finish, quality and overall durability of the truck. I have lower back issues and the height of the seats make it easy to enter and exit the vehicle.

Well-built truck

Very reliable---although my truck has few miles for its age; my brother-in-law has an '06 Tundra with 319,000 miles on it & it runs great!

My Tundra

I love my Tundra. It is 12 years old and has 190,000 miles. Have very few repairs and still have mostly original parts. My friends ask why I don't buy a new one and I tell them there is absolutely nothing wrong with this one. If it ever dies I'll buy another one.

Tundra 2005

The 2005 Toyota Tundra is an excellent truck for the weekend home improvement fanatic. Camping out of and trailer towing is comfortable. This truck is fun to drive and has turned me into a truck lover.
