I have a 2008 and got rear ended by a drunk driver. It totalled my car but I went to work the same day and didn’t need any serious medical care. Indeed I didn’t take it to my face but the ass. Why do people pretend like cars made in the last 30 years are death traps? They are the all metal behemoths from the 70s

I’ve been in a crash in a 1995 Toyota 4runner which used more or less the same body, head on into the back of a truck at about 50 due to break failure. I can assure you that old Toyotas are about as safe as you can get without it being modern and even then it’s a relatively minimum difference. A lot of the increase in safety started to happen with cars around 2000-2005 which given the lag time for a lot of these feature to see it in statistics means that that era of car is pretty damned decent.
Also it wasn’t my 4runner mine had its engine self destruct due to a shitty rebuild.
