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

The Toyota Tundra was redesigned for the 2007 model year. Two tests of a 2007 Tundra were conducted, one by the Institute of a 2wd Double Cab and the other by Toyota of a 4wd 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 the Institute's test are shown below because the 2wd Double Cab is similar to the configuration of other pickups tested previously.

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 one leg indicate low risk of injuries to these body regions in a crash of this severity. Forces measured on the left tibia in the Institute's test indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be possible, but right leg/foot forces were low. (In the test conducted by Toyota, left leg/foot forces were low, but forces on the right foot indicate a possibility of foot injuries.) A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag in the Institute's test, indicating that head injuries would be possible. (In the test conducted by Toyota, the head also hit the steering wheel through the airbag, but the head acceleration was low.) Head acceleration from the roof rail hit in the Institute's test also was low.

@lilatino323 Was he drunk? Cause that's usually what happens. Drunk person lives in the crash while the innocent person dies...

@davidakadb it doesn't really matter if the box flexes during an accident, unless you're sitting in it...

@bmxsodasmash "POS ford" how do you figure? Considering the facts that ford has the lowest cost of ownership, the best fuel economy, best horsepower and torque, and best towing and payload. While Toyota slips by on a good look and an ok engine, did you see how much that box flexed when it hit? i'm amazed the truck was still in one piece. At least if you wrecked in a ford,your truck would stay together.

@taitai907 It's a preference thing really, but you really cant go wrong with any of the two.

@GeoThundra The drive train is undoubtedly probably the most reliable, but I still prefer it to have a fully boxed frame.

[GeoThundra]

@thestupidstopcom It's boxed where it needs to be boxed and C-Channel in areas that need a little flex for hauling. The drivetrain on these trucks are solid and they're a well made quality pickup. Iforce engines are reliable and run forever, you're crazy bro.
