2010 Toyota 4Runner Earns Highest Frontal Crash Test Rating from IIHS

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) today announced that the all-new Toyota 4Runner mid-size sport utility vehicle (SUV) has earned its highest ranking of “good” within their frontal offset high-speed crash ratings.
IIHS frontal crashworthiness evaluations are based on outcomes of 40 mph frontal offset crash tests. An automobile’s overall frontal evaluation is dependant on measurements of intrusion to the occupant compartment, driver seat test dummy injury severity, and also the level of restraint system dummy movement during the test. In comparison, frontal crash testing by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) is performed at 35 mph.
The IIHS is definitely an independent non-profit research and communications organization funded by car insurance companies.
All Toyota and Lexus models meet or exceed the security requirements of the federal government and also the NHTSA.
