    Consumer reports loves to hate on the tundra. My mother in law keeps getting me a subscription for whatever reason. The results always crack me up. The first thing they do is compare a LOADED F150 against an SR5 and complain about the interior. Then they start in on the electronics and the stereo. Finally in very small print they reveal that the dependability and mechanicals are twice as good as the competition. Isn't it funny that the crash test FAILED by one point? I'd rather push my tundra than drive a chevy.

    Yea I saw it, meh, it's only stating that older vehicles need to improve front passenger safety design. Truthfully, I feel like my Tundra is a tank and will protect everyone in my truck if god forbid I get into an accident.

    Tundra platform is dated, and in 2007 there was no “offset crash test.” Tundra does better on full frontal crash. Solution: put crosshairs in the windshield and aim squarely at oncoming car. Boom. 5 ⭐️
