Thats not IIHS, it's NHTSA

This is from IIHS, a trusted evaluator. As a retired state trooper I am comfortable with my grandkids in the truck, not crazy about spilled drinks and crumbs in the back seat, but feel good about them being safe.


The new Toyota Tacoma crew cab, a small pickup, qualifies for a TOP SAFETY PICK award from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety thanks to improved performance in the small overlap front test.

While the 2023 model fell short, the redesigned 2024 version earns a good rating in this key crashworthiness evaluation. Measures taken from the driver dummy did not show any heightened risk of injury, and the occupant compartment maintained its integrity during the test.

To qualify for the 2024 TOP SAFETY PICKaward, vehicles need, in addition to a good small overlap rating, good ratings in the original moderate overlap front test and the updated side test as well as acceptable- or good-rated headlights across all trim levels.

An acceptable or good rating in a revised version of the pedestrian front crash prevention evaluation is also required. The new version replaces the earlier daytime and nighttime tests with a single evaluation that includes some test runs in daylight and some in the dark.

The Tacoma has a standard front crash prevention system that earns a good rating in the pedestrian test and acceptable headlights across all trims.

The popular pickup misses out on the higher-tier TOP SAFETY PICK+ award because it was not evaluated in the updated moderate overlap front test. An acceptable or good rating in the updated test is required for the “plus.”

Thank you for this explanation. And thank you for your service. 🫡

This is helpful thanks. Can anyone find the roof strength test ratings or know when they will be conducted? On the third gen the roof could take 4.13X the weight of the truck and it was considered good. Given this truck is heavier the roof would need to be even stronger to have the same strength to weight ratio.
