The Tundra’s ratings represent a substantial improvement over the 2021 model year and was the only large pickup truck to make the top-tier list.
Out of 10 pickup trucks recently evaluated by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS), only one earned a good rating. Which Toyota made the cut?
Turning crashes accounted for more than 900 of approximately 5,800 fatal pedestrian crashes at or near U.S. intersections from 2014 to 2018. A new study finds turning SUVs, vans, and pickups pose a greater risk to walkers.
In vehicle-to-vehicle front crash prevention tests, the Ram 1500 avoided collisions at both 12 mph and 25 mph. In most of the vehicle-to-pedestrian tests, it avoided hitting the pedestrian dummy or slowed substantially to mitigate the force of impact.
Drivers fidget with electronics and take both hands off the wheel more often as they develop trust in automated driver-assistance systems (ADAS).
If available technology blocked drivers with any alcohol in their blood from driving, requiring them for those with alcohol-impaired driving convictions would save 986 lives. Requiring them for fleet vehicles would save 465 lives.
More than 800 pedestrians were killed trying to cross a freeway in 2018, which represents a significant increase from a decade earlier, according to new research from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety is implementing stricter standards in 2020 for vehicles to earn its Top Safety Pick and Top Safety Pick+ awards.
The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has recognized the 2020 Toyota Tacoma crew cab with its Top Safety Pick award when the midsize pickup is outfitted with LED reflector headlights.
Recent research shows better crash compatibility between cars and today's SUVs offers some protection for drivers, but pickups still represent an outsize danger when they collide with cars — and the weight imbalance is probably the reason.
