Vehicle Description
If you've been searching for a rugged, high-mileage workhorse that still has plenty of life left in the tank, this 2005 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab PreRunner for sale at R&A Auto Sales in Sacramento, California deserves a serious look. Priced at $12,495, this white Tacoma PreRunner represents one of the most dependable used trucks on the market — a legacy Toyota built with legendary reliability baked into every component.About This 2005 Toyota Tacoma Double Cab PreRunner With 213,225 miles on the odometer, this Tacoma PreRunner might raise an eyebrow at first glance — but Toyota truck owners know better. The 4.0-liter V6 engine found in this generation of Tacoma is widely regarded as one of the most durable powerplants Toyota has ever built, and well-maintained examples regularly push well past 300,000 miles. This truck wears a clean white exterior and comes configured as a Double Cab with a 6-foot bed, giving you real passenger room and serious cargo capacity. Whether you're hauling tools to a job site or gearing up for a weekend adventure outside Sacramento, this Tacoma is built for the task.
The PreRunner trim is the street-legal answer to off-road ambition. It rides on a raised suspension with the same geometry as the 4WD Tacoma but delivers it in a rear-wheel-drive package — meaning you get the stance, the ground clearance, and the rugged look without the added drivetrain complexity of a four-wheel-drive system.2005 Toyota Tacoma Performance and Engine Under the hood sits Toyota's 1GR-FE 4.0-liter V6, producing approximately 236 horsepower and 266 lb-ft of torque in this generation. This is a naturally aspirated, DOHC engine that was engineered for longevity — it does not rely on turbochargers or overly complex systems that tend to be costly at higher mileages. The automatic transmission shifts smoothly and is well-suited for both daily commuting around Sacramento and towing lighter loads.
As a rear-wheel-drive PreRunner, this Tacoma features an independent front suspension with a higher ride height than the standard 2WD Tacoma. This setup is excellent for light off-road trails, gravel roads, and uneven terrain — the kind of conditions common when you head out toward the Sierra Nevada foothills, Folsom Lake, or the rural stretches of Sacramento County. You're not getting a rock crawler, but you are getting a truck that handles more than pavement with confidence.Toyota Tacoma Features and Interior The Double Cab body style is one of the key selling points here. Unlike the Access Cab, the Double Cab gives you four full doors and a rear seat that comfortably fits adults — making this a legitimate family truck or a capable crew hauler for work. The 6-foot bed strikes a practical balance between cab size and cargo utility, giving you room for full sheets of plywood, landscaping materials, or a loaded tool chest.
The PreRunner trim typically includes features like alloy wheels, a rear step bumper, power windows, power locks, and a factory-equipped audio system. At this price point and mileage, you're getting a fully functional, comfortable daily driver without paying the premium of a low-mileage unit. This is a truck built for use, and it shows in the best possible way.Toyota Tacoma Reliability and Ownership The 2005 Toyota Tacoma has one of the strongest reliability track records of any truck built in the last 25 years. Toyota's second-generation Tacoma — which ran from 2005 through 2015 — is universally praised by owners and mechanics alike for its resistance to major mechanical failure, excellent rust resistance on non-frame-affected examples, and low cost of ownership over time.
One item worth noting for any buyer: Toyota issued a frame rust recall on some first and second-generation Tacomas in certain regions. However, California trucks like this one have historically been far less susceptible to frame rust due to the dry climate, |
