Good thing they didnt do a Cab Mount Chop.

 

Too close to what I’ve personally lived through in my 2nd gen, but I see a passenger compartment that is largely intact. I’m impressed.

 

It's a pretty tough test. I think the taco did better than the wrangler.

 

Gotta read the details to understand the test results. They did this test for drivers side as well. Actual test for drivers side was on a 2017 Tacoma but said to apply to 2016-2022 models.
Divers side-Good.
Passenger side-Poor and also get outta the truck quick ya gotta leaking gas tank now.

Interesting, glad they addressed that gas leak accident hazard for 2022. But I got the old gas tank puncturing leaf springs lol
They should have addressed suspension contact to the gas tank during accidents at the same time they had the recall for stress corrosion cracking leaf spring/gas tank contact during the 2014 recall.
