Unibody vs Body on Frame

There are two major ways of building a vehicle body: unibody and body-on-frame. Toyota uses both construction systems to suit the demands of specific vehicles.

"Rugged enough" that makes me feel safe

[elmgitt]

My unibody hyundai santafe saved my life, my brother crashed head-on with a truck (i was the passenger) and the car crumple zone got crushed, but the A pillar didn't had a scratch. We were going 80 km/h. We were both lucky af, we just walked away the wrecked car.

Unibody for handling, body on frame for reliability/offroad?

[RennieAsh]

Lots of "tuff" BoF advocates on here. It's not for everyone, and also doesn't suit all use cases, just like how they wouldn't want to use a unibody for off roading, you wouldn't use BoF for city commuters or sports vehicles

Unibody- Get hit at 15 mph and it’s totaled.
Body on frame- Maybe a dent. (Maybe)

I find on the rough roads uni body does not seem to ride as well to me.

A unibody truck is the best of both worlds.

Pull your Toyota Prius out in front of my 93 Dodge 12 valve Cummins when I'm running 70 mph baby!

Body on frame for the win. Too bad they don't make many of them nowdays.. 100k SUVs are basically an. Empty Coke can with 4 wheels on them.

So? I dont care, i will choose body on frame toyotas over unibody suv, go toyota

Are all Toyota's - - - Honda's or all of the oversees made cars and trucks built from used metal or refurbished steel ?

[reesechurchill]

When I saw the part of the video where it showed an engine it's transmission and a red truck at the same time I looked at the transmission for a little bit and I think that truck is a rear wheel drive automatic

unibody is better but it is hard to build with big cars .

[angadsinghkalsi]

monocoque is gay and ladder frame is straight 💪💪

[StraitD]

Again. Barely able to hear the important information due to the music. Cut the music by another 20%-30% and that would be better.

Body on Frame = Contenders
Unibody = Pretenders

[MrMiscVids]

So what do you guys say is the best compromise of body on frame construction with decent fuel economy for this situation? I need a USED vehicle that's primarily a daily commuter but it also has to be able to pull a small aluminum boat, trailer, and all the cargo, etc. on occassion. We're talking way less than 3, 000 lbs. I love the idea of a 4Runner with a v6, but I hear it is a huge gas hog.

I hit a chevy silverado at Twenty mile per hour in my 2008 civic And there was not one scratch on the silverado bumper.
But it cost $4600 dollars damage to my civic and insurance totaled it. I was devastated .
