The Frontier’s structure held up the best, and the Ranger’s occupant compartment also maintained its shape relatively well, minimizing the risk of most injuries. However, the rear passenger dummies’ heads struck the C-pillar through the side curtain airbag in both vehicles.
The structure and safety cages of the Good-rated Colorado, Canyon, and Ridgeline performed well, with a minimal risk of most injuries. Interestingly, injury measures taken from the dummies showed a possibility of a pelvic fracture for the driver of the Colorado, the Canyon, and, most of all, the Ridgeline.The Tacoma offered occupants minimal risk of most injuries, but its structure and safety cage were where it did not fare well during the crash.
“That alone pushed the overall rating down to marginal. We weight structural performance very heavily because it is tied so closely with survivability,” said IIHS Senior Research Engineer Becky Mueller, whose work formed the foundation for the new evaluation.Article contenttap here to see other videos from our teamShe went on to say overall, this was a solid performance from these vehicles.
Why is there a new type of evaluation? Well, research illustrated that many of the real-world side impacts that still account for nearly a quarter of passenger-vehicle occupant fatalities are more severe than the original evaluation simulated. The new side crash test uses a heavier barrier travelling at a higher speed, to simulate the striking vehicle at 37 mph. This is increased from the outgoing version of the test, which used a 3,300-pound barrier travelling at 31 mph.
