This awesome. Since R1S is on a same platform, I am (jumping to conclusion) going to say R1S is Top Safety Pick + ?.

Owning a '22 R1T that just received a red light runner hit on Tuesday, I believe it.

'Tis but a scratch.

With the same front end, you'd think so, but no. Somehow the R1S is Marginal in the Moderate overlap front: updated test and Poor in Seat belt reminders, while the R1T is Good in both. This is a downgrade from R1S having "+" in 2023.

Do we know if the new results only apply to the 2024 R1T? I wonder what improvements were made as I have a 2022 R1T.

I suspect they don't 'go back' and test 'older' cars.

I would be surprised if anything was updated in these vehicles since the prior test (software notwithstanding). They're just not going to 'certify' 1 and 2 year old vehicles (there's no reason to, and frankly--no time. Could you imagine if they had to re-test EVERY vehicle EVERY year from the past X number of years? That's...not practical).

Rest easy. Your truck didn't go from 'super safe' to 'oh no, it's 2 years old, it's going to explode any second now!!'

Which is funny, because the R1T (also) gives you zero indication of back seat passenger seat belt status as the driver. Seems like a huge unforced error on easy safety.
