I would beg to differ. I just recently left working at a body shop and the metal used to day as compared to my 1984 Toyota is thinner. The 84 was ALOT harder to dent UNLESS you leaned in the right place (Door). Every car nowadays are made from plastic and thin metal. BUT the roll over safety is probably better in the Tundra just because safty standards and technology has come along way.
But in the end no matter what you are driving if it goes over it is going to be a bad thing and anything you can do to help (helmet) is a good idea. Especially at the speeds we travel it usually is not just a flop. The truck above went over about 5 times with 1 being end over end.
