The safest midsize pickups of the year

The safest midsize pickups of the year: Do you want to know which are the cars that have earned top marks in a small-overlap front crash test of eight midsize pickups by the Insurance institute for Highway Safety? These are the vehicles that have won the trust of many customers: The Toyota Tacoma double cab, Tacoma access cab,Chevrolet Colorado crew cab and GMC Canyon.

The Colorado and Canyon extended cab both earned “acceptable” marks, while the Nissan Frontierking cab and crew cab — the oldest vehicles tested — earned “marginal” ratings. IIHS said it tested two body styles of each pickup because results can differ between cab designs.
