How the 2024 Toyota Tacoma Keeps You Safe

When you’re shopping for a pickup truck, we bet your first thoughts are about how much it can tow, what the bed space looks like, and how much power the engine can put down. Sure, these are important features, but safety should never be overlooked.

Whether you’re hauling a trailer across the country or hauling your family to the beach, understanding the innovative safety features of the 2024 Toyota Tacoma is important, and at Toyota of West County, we have you covered.

Total Camera Coverage

Have you ever considered what separates a modern vehicle from an older truck in terms of safety? Sure, the body might be more durable, and improved tire technology helps it stay on the road, but the biggest difference today is camera coverage.

The 2024 Toyota Tacoma is designed with multi-terrain monitoring (MTM), which helps you see the terrain you’re driving on. This can prevent you from running into potholes and keep you safe from other off-road hazards.

While MTM is great for off-road driving, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma has total vehicle coverage. This means you can see where you’re parking, examine how close hazards are, and much more.

Protective Driving Assist

Protective Driving Assist (PDA), is a new and innovative feature found in the 2024 Toyota Tacoma. Competitors wish they had this technology because it subtly helps you maintain your safety around other vehicles, pedestrians, and other potential hazards.

It works by slightly slowing the truck down or giving the truck a gentle nudge in the right direction to prevent collisions. If you’re someone who hates these intrusive features, don’t panic, because Toyota has refined this technology for it to be subtle enough for you to barely notice. This means no loud sounds or obnoxious notifications.

Insurance Institute for Highway Safety Top Safety Pick

We can rant about safety features in the 2024 Toyota Tacoma all day, so we’ll turn it over to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) for this next tidbit of information.

While the 2023 Toyota Tacoma fell a bit short in safety due to a lower score on the overlap front test, the 2024 model passed with flying colors, and was even awarded a Top Safety Pick Award.

To qualify for this award, the 2024 Toyota Tacoma had to score well on the overlap front test, updated side test, and good-rated headlights across all trim levels. Therefore, it doesn’t matter if you get the base model or the Trailhunter, the Tacoma will keep you safe.
