Tacoma 4x4 does WORST in rollover

Actually, if you'd bothered to (or could) read the whole list, it's right in the AVERAGE for pickup trucks as a whole, not to mention it's a high rise

4x4!

There are many SUV's with worse numbers and Many Many more have yet to be tested.

Must be a FORD driver, eh? (now that's the current worst!)

So Far .....!

If you =look= at the chart, they've done less than 1/2 the vehicles!

If you buy a a vehicle for its high clearance, it will naturally be 'tippy'. A -good- driver should know this and act accordingly.

Dog save us from the "Pampers Mentality" of the burrowcritters.

Obviously the vehicle you were driving caused great brain damage during your rollover.

Actually, the issue was that the Tacoma tipped in the test, which strangely enough doesn't mean it fails the test. It was the only pickup that tipped, and was one of only 2 vehicles in the entire test that did tip. (if memory serves me correctly)

So some others actually have worse scores, but they didn't tip. I would consider tipping to be a significant finding in the tests, regardless of the over-all score.
