Safety: 2005 Toyota TundraSafety While it may not be a class leader in terms of size or sales, the Tundra definitely wins top marks for its long list of available safety features. While only anti-lock brakes and dual front airbags are standard throughout the Tundra lineup, Toyota offers side and side curtain airbags--as well as electronic stability and traction control--to Double Cab buyers. The Nissan Titan matches this list of safety features, but the Ford F-150 and GMC Sierra can only be had with ABS and dual front airbags.
The Tundra posted good scores in NHTSA's frontal crash tests: four stars for the driver and a perfect five for the passenger. The passenger mark ties for best-in-class with the Ford F-150 and Dodge Ram 1500, both of which also notched perfect five's in the driver's-side test.
