Tacoma’s Safety

cmrobert · Jul 18, 2022

On my way home from a church conference, I was T-Boned at an intersection by a man trying to make a left. He did not have his headlights on and by the time I saw him I only had time to swerve. He hit the back driver side door and the bed of the truck, I spun a little, hit a curb, flipped/rolled Lord knows how many times, and landed upside down. Here’s the truck:

Now get this, I crawled out of that truck with a singular cut and some bruises on my hips. This truck saved my life. The frame of the truck held up incredibly well and even if someone had been sitting in the back, they probably would have walked out too. When insurance comes through, I will be driving yet another tacoma because my family and I are incredibly grateful this accident happened in this truck. I would easily recommend to anyone to get a tacoma if they want a truck but also want to be safe.

Glad you are okay man. Tacomas are pretty safe judging by the many posts like yours.

Glad you were alright. Safety was one of my primary reasons for getting back in a Tacoma.

Glad you crawled with just cuts and bruises. From the looks of the truck, please get checked out by a medical professional to be safe. My Daughter rolled a Scion and like you crawled out with just some bruises. I took her to the emergency room where they gave her a clean bill of health. Speaking from experience, your family will have more piece of mind if you get checked out.

Bertw192 · Jul 18, 2022

I think it's totalled...

Mindgame · Jul 18, 2022

Whole reason why I purchased another one after mine was totalled.

Glad you are ok.

shakerhood · Jul 18, 2022

Wow, glad to hear you are ok!

2021SR5V64WD · Jul 18, 2022

Glad to hear you are ok - the tires and wheels still look great - keep those..!!

Little Lion · Jul 18, 2022

god bless. looks like it will buff out

tacodulce · Jul 18, 2022

Ouch! Glad you are ok! I had a 94’ 4x4 pickup I rolled it on the interstate (hydroplaned). Had a few bumps and bruises and swore I’d never buy anything other than a Toyota truck from then on.

AltezzaTaco · Jul 19, 2022

Glad you're okay. Time for another Tacoma?

ColoradoTJ · Jul 19, 2022

WOW! That was quite the hit. Glad you made it without any serious injuries.

Driving in CO has been getting pretty sporty these past 10 years.

Glad you're OK...and welcome. I'm curious as to what the other vehicle was and the driver's speed on impact.

Yup, this is the exact reason I got another Tacoma after mine was totalled last month.

Glad you walked away!!
