Toyota Tacoma
2005-08 models
FRONTAL OFFSET TEST

OVERALL EVALUATION: Good
Structure/safety cage Injury measures Restraints/dummy kinematics
Head/neck Chest Leg/foot, left Leg/foot, right
Good Good Good Good Good Good

Important: Frontal crash test ratings can be compared only among vehicles of similar weight.
Test details:

The Toyota Tacoma was redesigned for the 2005 model year. Two tests of the Tacoma were conducted, one by the Institute of a 2wd Access Cab and the other by Toyota of a 2wd Double Cab as part of frontal crash test verification. The overall rating of Good is based on review of both tests, which independently result in overall ratings of Good. The ratings and vehicle specifications based on Toyota's test are shown below because the 2wd Double Cab is similar to the crew cab configuration of other pickups tested more recently.

Restraints/dummy kinematics — Dummy movement was well controlled in both tests. During rebound in the Institute's test, the dummy's head hit the roof rail.

Injury measures — In each test, measures taken from the neck, chest, and both legs indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. In the test conducted by Toyota, measures taken from the dummy's head also indicate low risk of head injuries. (In the Institute's test, a high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag, indicating that head injuries would be possible.) Head acceleration from the roof rail hit in the Institute's test was low.

  • The newest Toyota ...

    The newest Toyota trucks are underrated. I bought an '07 4-door Tacoma (Pre-Runner) and it's fantastic. I had looked at Colorados for months prior. Still for Chevys though.

    Tacoma has several recent safety feature installations in the front portion, alone. There's nearly a foot between the front bumper and the radiator (to avoid damage there); and there are metal hooks beside the hood hinges that prevent the hood from intruding the windshield on frontal impact. :D

  • Yeah they are but ...

    Yeah they are but not to crumple on the humans in them and crush them. The ford f150 2005 truck was a joke. Just go watch it and then watch the chevrolet, dodge, toyota. No comparison. If I had a ford truck I'd sell it fast as possible because they clearly don't care about safety.

  • What is it with ...

    What is it with people who compare TOTALLY different trucks? I notice a lot of ford-lovers bashing tacomas like idiots. I love ford too but damn, man, you're taking it too far, you're soiling ford's name with your stupidity. I mean really, tacoma's a mid size petrol, the 7.3's a 1 ton diesel. Get you S**t straight, asshole. Your foolish pride stinks and it will remain in my memory every time I see a powerstroke.

    I just watched a colorado crash test and windshield never broke in it either so maybe it's not so impressive. I also watched a F-150 and it folded up like a pop can being stepped on.

    Hey, did you guys notice the windshield didn't even break. I've always been a GM man but the more I read about the tacoma I'm leaning that way. I have a 97 S-10 that I bought new and have never done anything to so it will be hard to buy a toyota but this is impressive. Anyone own a new tacoma who has had a colorado to tell me your impressions?

    to answer your question, a 22r-e is a 2.4 liter I4 fuel-injected gasoline engine developed by toyota. and to be blunt, it kicks ass. these engines are known best for their longevity. lets put it this way: i look forward to giving my toyota to my future grandchildren. buying american products simply because i am american is an appeal to loyalty. that is not proper justification for buying an american car.
