2007 Toyota Tacoma

Tested vehicle: 2006 Toyota Tacoma TRD Sport Double Cab long bed 2wd
Rating applies to 2005-15 models

The Toyota Tacoma was redesigned for the 2005 model year. Two tests of the Tacoma were conducted, one by the Institute of a 2005 model 2wd Access Cab and the other by Toyota of a 2006 model 2wd Double Cab. 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 Toyota's test are listed because the 2wd Double Cab is similar to the crew cab configuration of other pickups tested more recently.

About the original moderate overlap front test

Tested vehicle: 2008 Toyota Tacoma PreRunner Double Cab 2wd with optional front and rear head curtain airbags and optional front seat-mounted side torso airbags
Rating applies to 2005-08 models

The Toyota Tacoma was redesigned for the 2005 model year. Side airbags became standard in all models beginning with the 2009 model year (they had been optional in Double Cab models in 2005-08).
