2007 Toyota Tundra
large pickup / Extended cab pickup
Moderate overlap front: original test
Rating applies to 2007-09 models
Tested vehicle: 2007 Toyota Tundra SR5 Double Cab 2wd
The Toyota Tundra Double Cab was redesigned for the 2007 model year. Two moderate overlap frontal tests of a 2007 Tundra were conducted, one by the Institute of a 2wd Double Cab and the other by Toyota of a 4wd Double Cab. The overall rating of Good is based on review of both tests, which independently result in overall ratings of Good. The ratings, photos, and videos from the Institute’s test are shown because the 2wd Double Cab is similar to the configuration of other pickups tested previously.

Action shot taken during the Institute's moderate overlap frontal crash test.
The dummy's position in relation to the steering wheel and instrument panel after the crash test indicates that the driver's survival space was maintained very well (Institute test vehicle shown).
A high head acceleration occurred when the dummy's head hit the steering wheel through the airbag in the Institute's test.
Forces on the lower left leg were just high enough to indicate the possibility of injuries in the Institute's test (shown).
