The reason for Toyota is probably right in the second bullet point: "The IIHS said part of the problem is that some pickups have older designs..." Maybe this will jolt Toyota into finally doing a major redesign of the Tundra.

I'm actually a little more surprised about Chevy/GMC. You'd think they would have addressed this with their new models.

Agreed. I would have thought they were all recent enough that they should have scored well. I guess they keep moving the bar higher in these crash tests. I’m just going to tape a bunch of “My Pillows” around the cabin for extra safety (and comfort)

Looks like the new GM trucks didn’t do so hot in the side impact tests and offset front test on passenger side. Brand new design and it doesn’t preform as well as some of the older designs like Ford and Nissan
