For anyone curious about this sort of thing: https://jalopnik.com/only-three-pickups-have-good-passenger-side-protection-1833460153

Toyota's non-statement statement: "We are proud that Toyota and Lexus vehicles perform well in both the IIHS and NHTSA crash testing. To date, IIHS has awarded two Top Safety Pick (TSP) and three TSP+ ratings to Toyota’s 2019 line up and our NHTSA NCAP ratings include 27 Toyota and Lexus models with 5-Star rating in our 2018 line up. We put the needs of our customers first and the quality, safety and reliability of our vehicles is a top priority - and with continuous improvement being at the heart of everything we do - we’ll continue to look for ways to improve in an effort to exceed customers’ expectations – particularly in new testing such as IIHS’ passenger-side front small overlap for pickup trucks."





On a personal note: these crash test videos make me strangely anxious.

 

I noticed 'Marginal' under the Tacoma's headlight category for insufficient light output from the halogen setup. Hopefully, these will get addressed for 2020, and not over-addressed by blinding other drivers.
