    I am in the same debate.. my current truck, 2001 prerunner doublecab 280,xxx miles, or my office backup truck 2005 TRD prerunner doublecab 140,xxx miles... I can switch for free but I dont know if I really like the newer tacoma any better.
    Plus I have a sound system in my truck, and it would be almost 1k to put a good system in the 05.
