Tacoma apparently undamaged...

So, I came across this photo this morning of a Tacoma that apparently was undamaged after rear-ending another vehicle that sustained significant damage... The photo was part of an advertisement for a Vantrue X1 Dashcam (which I own). I just found the photo funny... The front bumper looks like it was photoshopped to have a slight upward tilt, but that's the only "damage" I can find...

I recently rear ended someone and destroyed there trunk (91 toyota Corolla)I definitely blew her trunk out like pictured but I was high enough to completely miss her rear bumper, my truck didn't have a scratch but I'm sure it'd of looked like this if I was lower to the ground and she had kept her foot on the break

 

Did the same years ago. I was in a duramax going about 25. The other car was a Honda. Pretty much looked the same for the car and my truck just had the plastic air dam pulled from the clips. I think it's part of the safety of cars. They crumple easy to absorb the force.

 

I've gone through a telephone pole in a duramaX with my friends new truck off the lot..and still drove it home..those trucks aren't even comparable to a Tacoma

 

I guess I'm saying that for rear ending someone at 20-25. I expected a lot more things up front to be at least mis shaped on my vehicle. On the flip side the car looked rough for only a 20-25 mph hit. So yeah the pic looks like the Tacoma should be roughed up but in reality the car crumples easy so it looks worse than it was.

 

I was rear ended by a Trailblazer in March, and while there was no visible damage, the impact had bent my frame due to the other car's impact with the receiver hitch. The Chevy was maybe doing 25mph, possibly 30. It wasn't a big deal though, I got my frame replaced not long after! And the impact did do more damage to her car than mine. Busted the plastic bumper all up and ripped the license plate off.
