You guys are stuck back in the '50s. It's a brave new world out there. Actually, and sadly, Don is right. Trucks and SUVs *used* to be vehicles pretty much strictly built on separate frames and bodies, but that has changed in recent years, and there are many more unibody SUVs and trucks like the Honda... I had a dune buggy on a VW pan that was titled as a half ton truck but that did not make it so. |

Â*Seems as if any station wagon body is now an/a SUV. Yeah. Â*A Rav4 is a truck? Â*Heh, heh... Yes it is, JackOff. The new 2019 model is a nice looking one too. Check it out. Maybe on an advertising pamphlet. At the most, is a compact station wagon. What kind of frame does it have? Size of the bed? Those 'nadians have some strange notions about what a truck is. And they believe everything the marketing fluff (and salesmen) says, whether it's station wagons or boats. Funny stuff. Trucks are not unibody for one thing. They have been. VW pickup was. But was a victim of the Chicken Wars with Europe. Many of the mid-sized pickups like the Canyon I have and the Toyota Harry has are going to be of uni-body construction versus body on frame in future models. GMC will switch when the current model is revised. Claims are that with computer aided design uni-body construction can be made as strong or stronger than current models with frames. The biggest issue is towing capacity. The Canyon I have (with frame) is rated to tow up to 7,000 lbs. It will be interesting if future models maintain or exceed that rating. |

I agree wholeheartedly and unequivocally with this post! (Now where have I heard that before?) +1! |
