Maybe if there weren’t so many scam artists and ambulance chasers, they wouldn’t need black boxes.
Toyota avoided millions in lawsuits with black box data that showed the crying moms on TV were lying.

cover the window in thermal reflective film. You can buy these at most hardware stores, make a huge difference and only reflects off infrared heat.
Tacoma is a huge culture. The reason why they get stolen so much is they have such a good reputation in Africa and Eastern Europe. No one stealing an F150 to sell abroad.
The issue is when you build in North America, you have to deal with local parts suppliers for all parts and subassemblies. Then you have a problem of the North American culture of poor quality control and maximizing profit margins only. So you can have a great design, which works in Japan with Japanese suppliers, but then it falls apart with local parts makers in Canada and US. Some sub-assemblies cross the border 2-3X which just amplifies the typical shit quality of manufacturing in North America.
Why are phones even working in cars? These devices have sophisticated 6 axis sensors, and it is easy to tell if a user is a passenger or a driver. Or just fucking disable them once they are moving at a set speed. The world can survive without phone connectivity for a car ride.
30,000 a year are slaughtered in the US alone, despite ABS, TC, ESC, various air bags, etc. but the solution is to make them more like tanks without addressing the actual cause of the problem.
I’m kinda surprised the US lawyer industry hasn’t tried a class action suit.
Something about this vehicle not mentioned: Because of the easily replaced plastic panels, insurance should be a lot less expensive.
But of course, meth heads are going to start stealing panels now.
ah, but todays full-sized husky American kids can’t squeeze past the seats in a two-door.

I had this badboy in the 90s and it was the most practical vehicle.
JFC…take a physics class. The drive wheels are in back, the cab and motor are in front. Of course there is no traction, all the weight is at the wrong end and 99% of idiots who buy those trucks drive with empty beds.
what a Fascist would say!
Thats not how kinetic energy works
Force= Mass X Acceleration, so any any given speed, more mass nets more force. More force = more trauma.
A lot of them live in severe poverty.
Where in Canada are police doing their jobs? Not in Ontario.
Insurance is mandatory…but many are driving without it as some idiot in Ontario got rid of visible licence validation in 2018.
That’s not the EPA’s fault, that’s the fault of government that allows the loophole because trucks are high profit vehicles for Ford, GM and Stellantis.
Vans are work trucks. Pickups are poser trucks.
this is now typical…
BUT I HAVE TA TOW MAH BOAT.
Hundreds of drivers panic mash the wrong pedal every week.
