iihs.org safety tests--- what's taking so long?

Hello...
New member here would like to have the iihs.org test ratings of the 2024 Tacoma. I'm interested in the I-Max Limited version but safety testing should span all models. Anyone know what the hold up is? Typically "small" pickups don't do so well, and the 2023 Tacoma was no exception. Let's hope Toyota will do better this time.

 

you try calling these folks and asking? If not then go ahead and try and report back with what you find out.

Yes, and no reply as yet. Maybe if others here inquire too, we can get the info sooner.

 

The I-Max models are not even out yet so it will probably be a little longer until you see crash test ratings.

 

Granted it’s a much larger truck, but the Tundra scored an IIHS Top Pick riding on the same platform as the ‘24 Tacoma. Inherently, any new vehicle riding on a TNGA-F platform should offer significant safety improvements over any Gen3 Taco or Gen5 4Runner for that matter.

Gen3 was dinged by IIHS for rear passenger dummies potentially making contact with the front passenger seat-backs in a simulated collision. As rear space on Gen4 hasn’t increased by much, might be something to keep an eye on in future tests. But overall, you can expect Gen4 to be a very safe vehicle.

 

Yet we’ve seen crash after crash on the third gen forum that people survived…

 

Per the IIHS.org website, the 2024 Tundra maintains its Top Safety Pick rating despite earning a Poor rating on the updated Moderate Overlap Front crash test. As for the 2024 Tacoma, a spokesperson for IIHS replied to me that they have "no immediate plans" to test the Tacoma! Yet, an early March post by IIHS staff on their Facebook site specifically mentions their beginning testing, starting with the pedestrian safety tests. Hmmmmm.

 

How does the Honda Ridgeline rate?

 

The ones who don't survive are less likely to post about it...

 

Test results are in with big improvement over 2023

 

Hmmmm.... No one here jumping up and down doing a happy dance? Well, even if you don't give a fig about your and your passenger's safety you might get lower insurance rates with a 2024. Taco on...

 

Doubt you’ll get lower insurance rates due to sAfeTy. They just care about how much that shit is to fix. Not like insurance pays out for dead drivers

 

I don't know about their tests. I bought a 3rd gen the first year they came out. If I recall, it was something like 18 months before there was a fatality in one.

 

Being concerned with ones safety and caring about your thread are 2 entirely different things.

 

I pay less for my 4th gen then I did for my base mode 3rd gen.

 

And another dude got a quote for like 100% more. Single data points don’t really help tell a story

 

Same. Mine through Progressive is around $25 less per month. Didn’t expect that.

 

Curious what you guys are paying. My turd gen was one the cheapest vehicles to insure that I ever had. $80 a month here for full coverage and 100/300k limits
