2011 Tacoma DCSB, 4WD OR, 1 passenger - Me

Broadsided on the passenger side by a pickup that ran a stoplight, which rolled the truck onto its driver side in the oncoming lane of traffic.

Proceeded to slide into an oncoming Volvo Triaxle dumptruck, which pushed me back into the middle of the intersection while still on the driver's side.

Exited the vehicle under my own power by kicking out the windshield with the aid of some bystanders. Walked away with bruises and cuts.

It's easy to understand why I bought a 2015, after looking at the damage the truck sustained allowing me to walk away.

 

Here was mine, long story short I swerved for something in the road and hit a tree. I was fine, truck was not.

Centerpunched a 200lbs deer at 65mph. Caused $3400 damage (two headlights grille, bumper cover, and a slight fix on a fender), No injuries (to me, the deer was DOA).

 

Don't have the pictures anymore but my old 2007 got hit head on by a Tahoe going about 45. Everyone came out ok; I had a few airbag burns, but I'm alive. Truck was totaled.

 

Great thread! Really glad I Bought a Tacoma.

 

I'm glad you were alright but this is why I NEVER swerve for anything in the road except for something larger than my truck or a person...maybe. Most of the time you are better off going right at it than swerving, losing control, and hitting a tree...etc.

 

Not to make light of your plight, but that sounds like a HELL of a Country-Western song!

 

Totalled my first 87 standard cab before first oil change. Did a endo after falling asleep at 55 mph. No seat belt passenger got two stitches. Flipped a 96 on a logging road playing Ivan Stewert, 2 other passengers no seat belts no injury. Rolled a 82 and 84 onto roof and learn not to hang onto roof lik Bo Duke. Had to have a finger stiched back on. Girlfriend got rejected out another 87 and I only got a broken heart when she dumped me a year later. Rolled a 90 backing down a road into a pipe hole. Got knocked out, and broke my glasses... Hopefully I learned all my lessons

Uninsured driver merged in my lane and hit me. In the recovery one of us hit the rear corner of a Forester and I pushed her down the road at about 50mph.

I drove my truck a few days, but it was tagged in so many places they totalled it. Got more than I'd payed 3 years before that. FWIW that Suburu held up very well, too.

 

Smacked a deer at 55. Got a new bumper cover, grille, lower flare and headlight. $500 deductible, Only paid $50 out of pocket. Totally worth it made the truck look brand new.

 

Note to self. Do not ride passenger with DDog STaco. lol

 

I didn't lose mah dawg. But my lap-cat is back in Floriduh, so I'm close

 

Well my truck held up better than the accord that pulled out in front of me.

Backstory:
I was driving down the road coming home from work going I'd guess around 45-50. Accord pulled out in front of me making a left hand turn. I laid on the horn he looked at me and got to move about a foot forward before I took out the side of his car.

Mine:





His:






Not sure of his injuries (after the adrenaline wore off) mine were minor but I have sciatica down both my legs now.

 

The truck was NOT totaled either, but didn't drive the same so it got traded in for this one:

Here is a crash test, looks like the signs on it say a 35 MPH Crash, the undercarriage footage is pretty cool to see.

 

I totaled a 3 month old 09 DC sport a few years back, there's still pics on my gallery I think.
