Safety Features in the 2014 Toyota Tacoma

At Dayton Toyota, we've been getting a lot of inquiries about the 2014 Toyota Tacoma. Drivers from South Brunswick Township, Plainsboro Township, and New Brunswick seem to be really interested in its 6,500 lbs of max towing and 266 lb-ft of torque.

But what you may not know about the Toyota Tacoma is that it also comes with a load of great safety features too, such as innovative active headrests and an Advanced Airbag System, which helped the Toyota Tacoma obtain a 4-Star Overall Safety Rating from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

In this post, we'll take a closer look at some of the 2014 Toyota Tacoma safety features to give drivers a better idea of what goes in to making this truck so protective.

Airbag System

Each 2014 Toyota Tacoma comes standard with a comprehensive six-airbag system that could help reduce passenger injury in the event of a collision. This Advanced Airbag System includes driver and front passenger airbags in addition to a front-passenger airbag cutoff switch.

Driver and front passenger seat-mounted side airbags help improve the protection of first-row passengers, while front and rear side curtain airbags help protect all the passengers in the truck.

Toyota's Star Safety System

The Toyota Tacoma's Star Safety System is a combination of six active safety features working together to help avoid an accident. Vehicle Stability Control and Traction Control help drivers to maintain a good grip on the road, while the Anti-Lock Brake System, Brake Assist, and Electronic Brake-Force Distribution give you additional stopping power when you need it most.

Active Headrests

There probably aren't many drivers who know about active headrests, but they're an important safety feature to have if you happen to be involved in a rear-end collision. Active headrests can help reduce the risk of neck injury by moving forward and upward, decreasing the gap between the headrest and the passenger's head.

Tire Pressure and Headlights

If you're tired of trying to guess if one of your tires is low, the Toyota Tacoma comes with a practical safety solution. Underinflated tires can reduce your traction and control on the road, making for some fairly risky driving conditions.

The advanced Tire Pressure Monitoring System inside the 2015 Toyota Tacoma comes standard on every trim. This system will continuously monitor the air pressure of each tire and notify the driver if one falls below the recommended level.

The Toyota Tacoma also features Daytime Running Lights, helping to make the truck more visible to other motorists, day or night.

These technologies, in combination with the other 2014 Toyota Tacoma features, help make this truck one of the most popular in the South Brunswick Township, Plainsboro Township, and New Brunswick area.
