I typed Tundra, should have said Sequoia.
We were talking about airbags deploying. That’s usually discussed in reference to a frontal crash.
Here are the specifics for truck, small SUV, large SUV, large car, and small car (5 different categories)
Ford/Chev win 4 categories, and tie in one.
Now, how is it that Toyota is better?
Large truck winner: Ford and Chevy
2009 Chevrolet Silverado: driver 5 star passenger 5 star
09 Ford F150: driver 5 star passenger 5 star
09 Toyota Tundra: driver 4 start passenger 4 starLarge SUV winner: Ford and Chevy
09 Chevrolet Suburban: driver 5 star, passenger 5 star09 Ford Expedition: driver 5 star, passenger 5 star
09 Toyota Sequoia: driver 5 star, passenger 4 star

09 Chev HHR: Driver: 5 star Passenger: 5 star
09 Ford Edge: Driver 5 start Passenger 4 star
09 Toyota RAV 4 Driver: 5 star Passenger: 4 star
09 Scion xB: Driver: 4 star Passenger: 4 starFull size winner: 3-way tie

Well, I thought you were talking about overall car safety, from which includes not just airbag deployment, but ensuring passenger/driver compartment remained intact and that passenger injuries were minimized. There are numerous reasons why/why not an airbag would/will not deploy at a given time depending on many factors. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not vouching for why this particular case the airbag didn’t deploy…But it’s not the first time I’ve heard a frontal impact and an airbag didn’t deploy…Happens all the time across all makes/models.
IIHS provides a comprehensive test of frontal,side, and rear impact test and soon to be evaluated roof strength.

Fair enough. I had just done research prior and knew that American cars and trucks do superior in frontal crashes.
I haven’t expanded that out to other aspects of safety…don’t have the time. :0)
Take care.
