Click to enlarge. 2007 Toyota Tacoma

Built in Fremont, California, the Tacoma got a complete makeover for 2005, growing larger in every dimension to offer more passenger room, cargo space and towing capacity. Regular, extended (Access Cab), and crew cab (Double Cab) models are available, with a choice of long or short bed lengths, and powered by either the rear or all four wheels. All 2005 Toyota Tacomas are equipped with antilock brakes with brake assist, and nearly any Tacoma can be outfitted with an optional stability control system. Side-curtain airbags are available on Double Cab models for extra occupant protection. A 164-horsepower, 2.7-liter inline four-cylinder engine is standard and a 245-horse, 4.0-liter V6 is available, with a choice between a six-speed manual or a five-speed automatic transmissions. Maximum towing capacity for the Tacoma V6 is 6,500 pounds, and every Tacoma gets a composite inner bed that is lighter and more durable than steel. There's even an optional 115-volt outlet for the bed wall to power electrical accessories. Toyota Racing Development (TRD) offers Off-Road and Sport packages this year, and 4WD V6 Tacomas with the TRD Off-Road package and an automatic transmission include a new Downhill Assist Control (DAC) system to limit speed in steep descents.
