When does voting close for medium-duty truck of the year? What pickup trucks made the IIHS cut? What leadership appointments were made? And what are the top updates from the automakers over the past two weeks?
While five out of six of the small pickup trucks tested earned at least a good or acceptable rating, only three earned a "good" rating.
A new study from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety validates the safety benefits of automatic emergency braking in pickups — yet the technology was standard on only 5% of those vehicles in 2021.
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.
