#31 of 7580 2005 tacoma engines by chorton Jun 04, 2004 (12:54 pm)
std engine will be the 2.7L 4cyl. it is supposed to have about 25 more horses than the current production engine, my guess is they added VVT-I to it. The upgrade will be the 4.0L V6 currently used in the 4runner. I still HOPE they will offer the v8 in the d-cab models, but i don't think it will happen.....yet.

#32 of 7580 V8 would be sweet by atlgaxt Jun 05, 2004 (10:21 am)
but I think the V6 will be plenty powerful. My guess is that the Tacoma crew cab should weigh several hundred pounds less than a 4 Runner, so it should have ample power.
#33 of 7580 V8 not for me, I need the diesel by moparbad Jun 07, 2004 (1:21 pm)
I would prefer the diesel to be offered as I prefer power AND efficiency. The 1KZ-TE 3.0L turbo diesel offers more power than the gasoline 3.4L and is 20% more fuel efficient. Replies to this message: atlgaxt (Jun 07, 2004 2:48 pm)

Replying to: moparbad (Jun 07, 2004 1:21 pm) I'd love the diesel also, but most manufacturers are hesitant to bring the new product over until they are sure that they will be able to meet the new 2007 emissions regs. I know more diesels are starting to creep in from VW, Mercedes and the Jeep Liberty, but they all might be going away again in two years. Its tough to recoup your investment in two years.

Replying to: chorton (Jun 04, 2004 12:54 pm) The liter is about right but the the engine is from a new family. The engine is a "t" engine. They are using the 4.0 along with this "t" engine for the 4cylinder.
#36 of 7580 Repost of Info by spleck Jun 23, 2004 (4:26 am)
Here's some info I've gathered elsewhere:   Extra Cab or Double Cab only (if Reg cab is available, it will probably only be for non Pre-Runner/4WD models, ie BASE) 2.7L 4 cyl (2WD only) or 4.0L V6 engines 4-speed and 5-speed electronic auto trannies (I assume 4spd = 4 cyl, 5-speed = 6 cyl) 5-speed (no info on which configs its available) and 6-speed (X-Runner only problaby) manual trannies. Truck moves to midsize from compact, possible loss of ground clearance (2 inches?). Gas mileage should be similar to current models (est 20 mpg for 4.0L 2WD on interstate - reference 4Runner) Replies to this message: tacomanewbe (Jun 23, 2004 1:12 pm)

Replying to: spleck (Jun 23, 2004 4:26 am) Thanks for info.   Do you think the X-Runner with super charger will be available in Automatic or 6 speed only?
#38 of 7580 2005 Configs by toycash Jun 24, 2004 (11:55 am)
The Regular Cab will still be available as 2wd, 4wd and PreRunner. There will still be 4wd 4-cyl, I don't know what size. All 4-cyl manual transmissions are 5-spd, all 6-cyl are 6-spd.
#40 of 7580 it'll be built in Mexico by lexi4life Jul 19, 2004 (12:57 pm)
I think that 15% of all 2005 tacoma trucks will be built in Mexico. Do you think fit and finish will be worse than in 2004 tacomas ?
