    The Tacoma, part of Toyota's lineup since 1995, is a large pickup with seating up to 5. The Tacoma provides superior EPA (miles per gallon) for its class, easing fuel costs and reducing pollution. It handles mud, snow, and sand with ease with optional all-wheel drive (AWD). Toyota offers a 3-year, 36,000-mile basic warranty, and a 5-year, 60,000-mile powertrain warranty on its lineup.

    The 2022 Toyota Tacoma is below average compared to all vehicles.

    Comparison to all vehicles.  This plot shows RSC safety scores on the horizontal axis vs. the number of vehicles with each safety score (depicted by bar height and percentages at the bottom). Colors reflect vehicle safety, ranging from red (not that safe) to green (safer). For reference, a score of 0 implies a 0.15% chance of driver death (13% chance of driver injury) over 15 years, and a score of 100 reflects a 0.016% chance (1.4% chance of driver injury). The 2022 Toyota Tacoma has a score of 76, implying a 0.048% chance of driver death (4.3% chance of injury).

    We estimate that the 2022 Toyota Tacoma has a vehicle lifetime fatality chance of 0.0476% and a vehicle lifetime injury chance of 5.441%, meaning the average driver has a 0.0476% chance of dying in an accident if they drive the car under regular conditions for fifteen years, and a 5.441% chance of being injured.

    Compared to the average vehicle, the 2022 Toyota Tacoma is 2% more likely to result in a fatal accident. Compared to other pickups, the 2022 Toyota Tacoma is 11% less likely to result in a fatal accident.

    Toyota's Safety Sense active safety features can protect loved ones by preventing accidents and reducing accident severity. An active safety system that is standard on the 2022 Toyota Tacoma is Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD). Some safety features are optional on the 2022 Toyota Tacoma--- although they add to the cost, one should consider the benefits of Lane Departure Alert with Steering Assist (LDA w/SA) and Blind Spot Monitor.

    Another vehicle feature may make a vehicle safer, even if not at the forefront of technological advances. Side mirror turn signals are optional on the Toyota Tacoma. They alert other vehicles of your intention to switch lanes, which allows the other vehicle's driver to prevent an impending accident with you.

    And it is less safe than many comparable cars.
