Tundra is unsafe / Tacoma 3G mostly good

Old solid frame vs unibody. What would you rather be in during an accident?

 

The interesting thing to me, is the comparison of Tundra to Tacoma. Like, all those people who think driving a full-size 4 door Tundra is a safety upgrade for their precious family from driving them around in a tin-can Tacoma are just wrong. There’s the proof. Those pictures of the Tundra passenger and driver all sandwiched by the firewall are pretty scary.

It’s a debate for another thread, but again the function of the frame structures (cab-mounts) in keeping the front wheels out of the cab is mentioned.

 

You have an Edsel(car) in the family?

 

So with all this talk about safety, will adding steel bumpers make the truck safer? Or is there a higher chance of the metal acting as a level and screwing up your day more?

 

And a built in under the bed tub for all your wine coolers. But in all seriousness, the truck has neat features If you dont really need to do 100% hardcore truck things.

 

The Ridgeline is starting to grow on me.

 

Fascinating!

 

Yes...

 

WTF is wrong with those people? They crashed a 59 Bel Air. Someone needs to be kneecapped

 

You still have to be seen in it, though.

 

So are crows but we don't crash the classic ones into the new ones just to see what happens

 

That's what ridgeline owners said about tacoma too... haha

 

I rolled my 2nd Gen doing 70kmh and me and my gf walked away unscathed. They safe !

 

I don’t see how that’s even a fair comparison. The car from 2009 will obviously be safer than a car 50 years older.

But — https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/m/pubmed/24821629/

 

I’d guess the latter

 

Grab his feet. THats his weakness.


Also, thats cool. Good for ridgeline. Based on the tacoma accidents seen here on TW, the Tacoma is pretty fuckin safe.
