    Traded the 2015 TRD Pro 6spd Supercharged on a PowerWagon and could not be happier. My 2011 Tacoma with the TX Baja package (Added by me) is still treating me great. My 1985 Toyota never skips a beat.
    How Safe would/do you feel in your truck?

    I used to like to watch these video's and i figured some of you may as well!

    Have a look and see what you think about your yota!

    Feel free to post others, and if there is one you think i should add ill put it on here as well!

    Pictures etc of accidents involving your Tacoma's or other vehicles are welcome too!

    I know I myself have ALWAYS felt safe in my Toyota's vs other vehicles..

    damn, all the Toyotas are pretty impressive by comparison.
    To me, looks like the 4runners are a little safer than the Tacoma even.

    Chevy/dodge full sizes just straight FOLDED!
