Truck safety comparison - Tacoma #1 in midsize

Ran across this video ranking trucks from least to most safe. Cool that Tacoma ranked #1 for midsized rigs. Skip to 7:00 if you don't wanna sit through the video.

Cliffs of results:
#2 Ford Ranger
#3 Honda Ridgeline
#4 Chevy Colorado
#5 Nissan Frontier

The mention of the Tacoma LED headlights makes me wanna do the switch even more now.

Curious how a truck equipped with an aftermarket steel bumper would fare in the test...

 

much worse.

 

The truck will take less damage, occupants take more damage. But if you dont crash in the first place who cares

 

Depends on how much value you place in IIHS' metrics. According to them, the 2016-2017 trucks are an automatic "fail" for lacking TSS.

 

Can't always avoid the idiots texting, putting on makeup, not using the turn signals, etc.

 

That's the plan

Of course as the great orator of our times Mike Tyson taught us, "Everybody has a plan until they get punched in the face"
