Whaat ? No safety rating ?

The NHTSA doesn’t crash test all vehicle models, but the ‘25 4Runner is indeed slated for testing.

The current employee hack-and-slash likely won’t help results come out any sooner though.

Also looking forward to the IIHS getting their hands on the 6th gen too.

 

As a comparable, IIHS rates Tacoma a Top Safety Pick, which arguably is good news for what is the structurally similar 4Runner.

However, while the NHTSA has not fully completed its overall rating on Tacoma, it has so far reported 3-star for front impact, 5-star for side impact. So, mixed bag. I’m interested in seeing the full results.

 

I guess we're running out of things to talk about on this website?

 

I’m interested to see if all the extra poofiness toyota added to the exterior is going to pay off in crash testing!

Maybe the insurance crash test people will get to it first before the government agency. The insurance people do those really mean corner impact tests that tend to unzipper a lot of cars.
