Body & configuration

The “Double Cab” denotes a 4-door crew-style pickup (5 seats) rather than the regular or Access-Cab versions.

• With the 4WD version, it uses part-time four-wheel drive with a two-speed electronically-controlled transfer case (low-range included) when equipped.
• Overall length is about 208.1 inches (for Double Cab 4WD) with a wheelbase of ~127.8 inches.
• Bed length depends on configuration. For the 5-foot short bed version (common with Double Cab), the bed is ~60.3 inches.
• Engine & performance

The 2005 Double Cab 4WD typically comes with a 4.0-liter V6 (DOHC, 24-valve, VVT-i) engine.

• Power output: ~245 hp at 5,200 rpm and ~282 lb-ft of torque at ~3,800 rpm (U.S. spec) for the 4.0L V6.
• In some international specs you’ll see ~236 hp and ~266 lb-ft (or 360-Nm) depending on region.
