I have an 06 double cab 4x4 SR5, I've added a lift , bull bar, nice rims and tires and just put a on cold air intake!! It runs great with only 194,000 ! It's also detailed in blue logos on a black truck!! Love my TUNDRA!!

I’ve got an ‘05 Access Csb SR5 with the V8 and factory tow package. I bought it brand new and here in the fall of 2022 I’m just now approaching 125K miles. It has the million mile 🤞 4.7L. I believe that engine was also used in some Lexus sedans. I still enjoy driving it everyday. Just a great, trouble free pickup. Mine gets about 15 mpg if you have a light foot. A Toyota mechanic told me that engine gets pretty thirsty above 2,000 RPM. It’s so nice to have a vehicle you bought new and still love it 17 years later.

Wow original owner and low miles. That sounds like a great truck. Such a great purchase you made. The 4.7L was used in Lexus SUV's like the GX 470 and LX 470. The 4.3 which is also a great engine was used in the sedans (LS 430, GS430, SC430). I'd love to review some of those as well!

Watching this after I just purchased my first pickup ever, the 2006 Tundra SR5 Double Cab. Thanks for a great review assuring me I picked a great truck. It's in great condition at 187k miles with just a few dings/dents, perfect interior, and no rust due to sprayed frame. A few things need to be done like replacing speakers, rearview mirror, the TPMS light, and the AC blower needs to be checked as its so loud. Even so I think I got a great deal at only $8900 from a private seller.

Being the second owner of a 2005 DC with 93000 miles that I bought as a Certified unit with 25000 miles back in 08 I want to alert anyone considering a 1st gen Double Cab of a couple watch for items. First the Secondary Air Injection pump will fail and the intake must be removed to change out. Second the 1st gen master cylinder is a unicorn part as it has a primary with a secondary master cylinder bolted together and there are no after markets available. The secondary MC, which sits between the primary MC & the brake booster will eventually leak into the brake booster and require replacement. With no after market parts available, your only option is to buy the booster assembly with the primary & secondary MC's combined, and as of this posting you are looking at $900 for that assembly. Just be aware.

I have owned a 2005 Tundra XSP. It’s a solid truck. After 155,000 miles it is still squeak and rattle free. It hasn’t been without engine issues. The secondary air fan went out. This is part of the emissions system. When it goes out the engine goes into limp mode and you must remove the intake manifold to replace. The oil filter housing began leaking oil pretty bad at 80k miles. The valve cover gaskets both leaked like crazy after just 100k miles. The driveshaft center support bearing went out around 100k miles as well. Other little minor issues but I’ve been happy with my 10 years of ownership.

I have a 2005 Tundra, my only issue has been with the harness that connects to the transmission. One of the pins corroded. Other than that, it's been a solid truck for sure. I recently sat inside a 2022 Tundra extended cab and it feels a lot smaller than these 1st gen Tundra's. The center console takes up a lot of space because it extends a little bit further back taking up leg space for the middle rear passenger, so it's more of a four seater truck than a five. I love my truck, my only gripe would be the towing capacity. I wish they bumped it up another ton.

Vs. other gas V8 trucks of the time there is little differences. You pay more up front for reliability, and get it back by not being stuck on the side of the road or at the shop. GM came out with AFM shortly after this to boost fuel economy, and we know how well that turned out!

6 months late to the party - I own a 2005 Tundra SR5 with a V8. While 2005 and 2006 are nicer trucks on paper than let's say an 2004 - from a "less is more perspective", the 04 Tundra has some less expensive features or lack there of when future repair bills roll in. * The 05 thru 06 model years added a secondary air injection system that is located under the intake manifold and is very expensive to repair - if original parts are used. * Replacing the camshaft seals on the 05/05 Variable Valve Timing engines is a horrendously expensive repair. Not so on the 2004. * The four speed automatic transmission on the 2004 still had a dip stick. The late 5 speed requires checking the AT fluid level from beneath the vehicle with the engine fully warmed up. Now for the good news - My 2005 Tundra gets a solid 16 miles per gallon while on the Interstate doing 75 to 80 MPH. City only driving - which is in the center of town - I get 10 to 11 mpg.

I was definitely drooling over an older double cab 6ft bed Tacoma but I feel like those are sooo hard to come by as most double cabs have the 5ft bed, which I don’t think I would be able to justify if buying a truck. Looking at the tundras it just makes so much more sense. Looking for double cab tundras you know exactly what you’re getting. Plenty of space in the back seat, a 6ft 2 bed, standard v8, and way more features. I believe it comes in at 12 inches longer than the Tacoma with the double cab and 6 foot bed. I would love the versatility of a shorter Tacoma but still the tundra just makes more sense. I know the 4.0 is super reliable too but that 4.7L is legendary. I was looking at Lexus gx 470’s a year or two ago and started drooling over those for a bit. Especially since they were far cheaper than the 4 runners. Pretty much on the same platform and usually came loaded with all the luxury features. But now in this market any truck is exorbitantly priced. Im probably going to try to wait it out as they are just too damn much right now and the price difference could probably allow me to spend the extra money on one where the previous owner has the rust under control, I’ll make that bitch last forever 😂

Yes agreed. The Tacoma is an awesome truck ( I personally love the first gen double cab Tacoma and am hoping to review one). They are a bit more versatile/usable if you don't need to haul as much and you're in a city type of area. The Tundra while a bit larger, is just more spacious, has a more usable bed, and reliability is great. I reviewed a 2017 DC Tacoma, and it didn't have anywhere near the same leg room and space in the rear seats as this Tundra does. Tacomas do hold their value extremely well, and I think you can get great deal on these Tundras still even though the market for trucks has gone up like you mentioned. But either way you go, they are both excellent trucks!

I did a quick search and came across a few well kept ones in my area with about 120k miles for 12-17k. So I guess have to compare the vehicle you're looking at to those prices, and determine if that is fair with that comparison. Good luck with your search and hope something works out!

Hello Again @Car Squad!!! I know pickup trucks arent for racing... but hows the speed and torque on the First Gen 2005 Tundra? I like to have a heavy right foot and punch it from time to time 😁😁😁

Definitely has some good power when you punch it. Freeway on ramps were quite fun. Throws you back into your seat and you hear the v8 roar to life.

Hey Ray! Honestly in my opinion either way you go will be fine. In the video I stated that power numbers dropped slightly in 06, however it was pointed out to me after this video, that they just changed the way they measured, but power is still the same! Make sure you check the frame for rust especially depending on the environment you are in.

@@richarde1355 I am not too sure as I haven't driven many newer trucks. The only other I have driven/reviewed is a 2017 Tacoma which had BFG k02 tires. The tires make all the difference with road noise. This Tundra had Bridgestone Duelers.

so there's no v6 for this?

Bro sorry all your specs are off, Towing is actually 7100 for 4.7! Power for 05-06 is IDENTICAL at 271hp just different more accurate test. mpg is 18/22. You got to do more research in order to have a successful channel

Hey thanks for the feedback. Yeah it was brought up to me later on that the way they measured the HP changed, resulting in the different readings I was going off of. You are right, with the tow package it was 7000, without about 5200. MPG was 18/22 for the access cab models, however the Double Cab is 16/18. I think owners of these double cabs would love to have 18/22!

Owner needs to check his spare tire pressure before replacing the sensors… spare tire has one too and probably hasn’t been touched since it left the factory and needs air, my 04 had that light when I got it, filled the spare and light went off.

@carsquad_

Thanks for that suggestion. That is actually exactly what the owner did first but the light was still on. If when you start the vehicle, the TPMS light comes on and stays on, it's indicating that any of the tires (including the spare) are low. However, if the light comes on during start up, then goes off for a brief second and then comes back on (as this one was doing) it is an indication that the sensors need replacing. Helpful info to have!

The HP difference is only on paper. They required a more conservative test for the 2006. The trucks are almost identical (I still don’t know a single difference) and the 2006 has the same HP, the 2005 just got a “get out of jail free card” with an easier test.
