    The Tacoma did good in the test, but did not get recommended because of its headlights and not having safety sense nanny bs. I disagree the rating should come from the crash test findings not safety sense nanny bs.

    I agree that the headlights a shit though. Best mod I've done yet is 4300k HIDs. Massive improvement.

    Here's the video of just the Tacoma:

    So, what's the deal with the cab to bed alignment. They offset side-to-side by 4-5 inches.

    Here's a longer version of the video including the access cab. The side-to-side offset is even more pronounced:
