I have the Toyota mats, which are made by Nifty Products. Nifty calls them the Catch-all Extreme mats.
There are three products: 1) Rear cargo mat 2) 2nd row mat(one piece) and 3) Front set(two pieces).
The dealer is probably right. There are no mats specifically for the '05. The only difference that I found was that the front driver side mat does not fit well around the hump under the accelerator pedal. This hump is new in the '05 because of the drive-by-wire system (no throttle linkage).
I simply took a carpet knife to mine to relieve this area. If you don't do this, the mat will get in the way of your accelerator pedal and it will be harder to push it with your foot. This does not affect the performance of the mat at all. The mats have a lip on the outer edges to catch melting snow, mud etc. and work very well.
I got the rear cargo mat from my dealer and then ordered the 1st and 2nd row mats here:

They are much cheaper on this site than at the dealer. Don't know for sure, but you may have to wait quite some time before Nifty changes that front mat to perfectly fit the '05. The '01 through '04 are all the same.
