The Toyota Tundra is smooth and quiet, light on its feet, and easy and enjoyable to drive on a daily basis. It also incorporates Toyota's renowned quality, durability and reliability.
Toyota Tundra is available as a two-door Regular Cab, an extended Access Cab with auxiliary rear doors, and as a true four-door Double Cab. Two- and four-wheel-drive versions are offered, employing similar suspensions and bed heights. Three trim levels are available: base, SR5, and Limited. Access Cab V8 models are available with a full-width or stepside bed. Two engines are available. The base V6 has grown from 3.4 to 4.0 liters. It still breathes through dual-overhead-cam heads, and now uses Toyota's computer-controlled variable valve timing with intelligence to produce 245 horsepower. The optional i-Force DOHC V8 sticks with its previous 4.7-liter displacement, but acquires VVT-i to boost horsepower from 240 to 282, and torque from 315 pound-feet to 325. Transmissions are new, too. The V6 now comes with a new six-speed manual. A new five-speed automatic is optional with the V6, standard with the V8.
For 2005, the Toyota Tundra gets a power increase and more standard features.
Purchasing an older vehicle, such as the 2005 Toyota Tundra, makes good financial sense. You're able to avoid the steep depreciation rates that occur with brand new vehicles. This essentially gives you the advantage of getting a 2005 Toyota Tundra for less money than when it was new. If the 2005 Toyota Tundra was properly maintained, you also have a good chance of steering clear of problems that would have developed when the car was new.
The amount you pay for an older car depends on various factors. One important element is where you buy the vehicle. You're likely to get a better deal if you buy it from a private party, as opposed to a dealer. On the other hand, a reputable dealer will normally have some kind of limited warranty, so you can drive away knowing that if the car breaks down right away, you'll be covered. Another factor that may affect price on a 2005 Toyota Tundra is whether it's "certified" by the manufacturer. A certified vehicle will cost more because warranty service is provided that normally doesn't come with a used car.
Another dynamic that will play into the purchase price is the resale value. A used vehicle with a high resale value will obviously cost you more. It is expected that the 2005 Toyota Tundra will have a excellent resale value. This assumes that the 2005 Toyota Tundra is in good condition and has a reasonable number of miles.
