In addition to being a powerful, rugged, and heavy-duty pickup truck, the new Toyota Tacoma also has a long list of technology-focused active safety features that are new for the 2024 model. This technology aids drivers in processing what is occurring outside the vehicle and mitigating collisions with other vehicles, bicyclists, and pedestrians. Here is an overview of the groundbreaking safety features found in the new Toyota Tacoma, which have led the truck to be named an IIHS TOP SAFETY PICK.
