What Are the NHTSA Ratings?

The NHTSA runs a battery of three crash tests on many vehicles every year. These three scores are then compiled into an overall safety rating for the vehicle in question. The 2020 Toyota Tundra has earned excellent scores from the NHTSA:

  • Frontal Crash: 4-Star Safety Rating
  • Side Crash: 5-Star Safety Rating
  • Rollover: 4-Star Safety Rating

The 2020 Tundra scored a perfect 5-Star Safety Rating on the side crash test, which contributed to the 2020 Tundra pickup’s 4-Star Overall Safety Rating from the NHTSA.


What Are the IIHS Ratings?

The Toyota Tundra has also been scored by the IIHS. This safety organization grades a vehicle’s crashworthiness on a scale of Good, Acceptable, Marginal, or Poor. The 2020 Tundra equipped with a Double Cab was put through multiple tests and earned excellent scores from the IIHS:

  • Small Overlap Front (Driver Side): Acceptable
  • Moderate Overlap Front: Good
  • Side: Good
  • Roof Strength: Good
  • Head Restraints & Seats: Good

The IIHS also tests a vehicle’s ability to avoid collisions in the first place. The 2020 Tundra with the Double Cab earned a Superior rating from the IIHS on vehicle-to-vehicle Front Crash Prevention due to its standard Pre-Collision System with Pedestrian Detection (PCS w/PD). In the IIHS tests performed at 12 and 25 MPH, the 2020 Tundra was able to avoid a collision!
