Redesigned for 2005, the compact Tacoma pickup grows both in size and stature, with more-aggressive styling, expanded passenger room, greater towing capacities and improved cargo carrying abilities that enable it to compete with mid-size models like the Dodge Dakota and Chevrolet Colorado . A more powerful lineup of four- and six-cylinder engines delivers improved fuel economy, and a wide array of newly offered safety features includes standard anti-lock brakes, available side-curtain airbags, and Toyota 's Vehicle Stability Control system. A new AccessCab configured X-Runner version rides on a separate platform than the rest of the line, with a longer wheelbase, a wider track and lower ride height. An "X-braced" reinforced frame promises enhanced torsional rigidity, while a new 240-horsepower 4.0-liter V-6 engine comes mated to a six-speed close-ratio manual transmission. An available Toyota Racing Development supercharger boosts this powerplant's output by about 60 additional horses. Handling benefits from firmer and shorter springs at all four wheels and specially tuned Bilstein gas shocks.
