As far as I know all modern full-size pickup trucks are still frame-on-body, and most have solid rear axles.
(In the mid/small size there's some unibody options like the Honda Ridgeline but that's nothing new. It's just a different type of vehicle, not something that's obsoleted a traditional truck.)
- qbasic_forever 3y agoElectronic limited slip diffs, ABS and wheelspin sensors with traction control, etc. go a loooong way to making modern stuff more drivable. There's no comparison to an old 80s truck with none of that stuff (and way less crash safety).
- twothamendment 3y agoMy 2014 truck has solid axels and body on frame, but the suspension is a million times better than the 70's International truck I was in when I hit my head on the ceiling as it went over a speed bump at a reasonable speed. Coils on all four corners and I'm sure some better engineering helps quite a bit.
