CrashTestToyota’s redesigned Tundra fell one star short of the perfect five-star rating for driver safety in head-on collisions in a test by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Bloomberg News reported.

Full-size pickups from General Motors and Ford’s F-150 earned five stars.

To earn a top frontal-crash rating, vehicles are judged to have a 10 percent or less possibility of a driver injury requiring immediate hospitalization in a head-on collision at 35 miles per hour. A four-star rating means an injury risk of 11 percent to 20 percent.
