The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety has released statistics comparing accident death rates among a large number of 1999 - 2002 model year vehicles. The 4Runner was second best overall and the safest SUV surveyed, bested only by the previous generation Mercedes E-Class sedan.
Worst was the Chevrolet Blazer 2-door, which had a death rate almost 30 times that of the best vehicles.

: The newer models from all the manufacturers have not had enough time on the road to collect the stats yet, but if the teend holds true the new SUV will be even safer. Good for all of us.
