I didn’t know there was a pickup version of the Camry.
As a general rule, rear end collisions are not fatal in most cases. There is lots of crush room back there. Now if the same vehicle had broadside into the Camry’s driver door, it likely would have been fatal.
Where is the other one that was totally destroyed by like 4 semi’s?
I used to work for Toyota before they moved their national headquarters from Torrance, CA, a Los Angeles suburb, to Plano, TX, near Dallas three years ago. Great vehicles and a really good company to work for.
Isn’t crash survivability due in large part to government regulations?
Hmmmm. No Teslas...wonder why?
How fast was a semi going??? Probably not too fast.
That will buff out
They now have a hatchback!......................
That did not get “squashed” between two semis. Hit by two semis yes, but much of the impact is above the frame rails/bumpers. IOW there isn’t anything high tech at those crumple levels, if the trucks had been at speed they still would have scissored the top.
My wife and daughter owe their life to my 1999 Camry.
An illegal alien hit them head on in the middle of the night going about 45 mph...
I wish saved the pictures I took. The front end was split open like a tin can. The hood was pushed over the roof..the fenders were both pushed out at 45’ engine pushed under the firewall..
Only minor injuries.
I used to work for a company that made auto glass adhesives. The adhesive had to pass a 30 mph frontal collision and leave the glass intact. Crash tests were good marketing, but one day a customer got into a head on collision an hour after having his windshield replaced.
We managed to find and purchase the car an hour before it was due to be crushed at the boneyard. It made a compelling advertisement.
There’s a reason Camry has been at the top of consumer satisfaction surveys for a very long time.
They should get this corolla also. Its 10 times worse and they survived.

That should buff right out.
