2017 Toyota Tacoma Earned Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's Highest Rating

When it comes to finding the right pickup for you, there are a lot of factors to consider: towing and hauling capacity, fuel efficiency, and more. One factor you should always keep in mind is safety. That's why Stevinson Toyota West is proud to announce that the both the two-door and four-door cab versions of the 2017 Toyota Tacoma earned the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety's highest rating of "good" in insurance industry crash tests, a feat unmatched by any other small pickup!

The 2017 Toyota Tacoma received a "good" rating - the best rating available from IIHS - in crashworthiness for small overlap front impact, moderate overlap front impact, side impact, roof strength, and head restraints and seats. If you're fond of off-roading on unmapped terrain or really driving in the Denver area, at all, you'll feel confident the Toyota Tacoma will keep you and your family protected.

High marks in an important test

Models across the small pickup segment were evaluated by the Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) in a small overlap crash test, which replicates what happens when a vehicle runs off the road and a portion of its front end hits a tree or pole at 40 miles per hour. The 2017 Toyota Tacoma scored top marks, while rival models from Chevrolet, GMC, and Nissan didn’t perform as well according to results released earlier this week by the IIHS.
