Unibody vs Body on Frame - C! Feature

Did you know there are two body types for SUVs?
In this C! Feature, we show the advantages of a unibody SUV and a body-on-frame SUV. They may look similar on the outside, but the inside shows where the differences lie.

Thank you for this video, and especially for inserting/displaying visuals for the differences between the frame types when you mentioned them. I've been trying to make sense of this concept since I saw it mentioned in trying to find a pickup truck for hauling a 5th Wheel camper/RV I also liked your in-vehicle commentary about the smoothness of the rides versus turning. Thank you for the review!! The only thing I would change is turning down the background music a bit so we can understand your words more clearly over the music, instead of competing against the background music

At 2:06 are you taking a turn or are you in need of a front end alignment?

[@jeffreymeeks4051]

I am attending school for automotive service and this video helped immensely! This is what I needed thank you!

[@cmagazineph]

Glad to know we were able to help in some way. Good luck on your studies as well!

[@crypticreality8484]

How did your school go?

[@jeffreymeeks4051]

@CrypticReality84 Very well! I graduated in March last year and now am trying to earn my ASE certification in brakes

[@crypticreality8484]

@@jeffreymeeks4051 Excellent!

[@mahmoudalawa2827]

The music sound is too high Can't focus on the informations

[@BennyAlexander]

Well explained! (Reduce music!; you need better mics)

[@GreenRobotCat6877]

So all I currently got was, One is Sturdy, the other is safety.

[@boxoffisa]

The audio quality just chased me from minute one. Bad audio then add music on it.

[@JGstunts22]

Are you saying 4 runner ? I cant tell what your calling the other SUV, not the rav4

[@walterporras9233]

It is a Toyota fortuner. Not sold in the USA but compares to the Highlander

[@michaellagamon]

can you do the avanza (body on frame) vs ertiga (unibody)?

[@Xyb3rTeCh]

Never buy an Avanza. It is a fucking horrible car. For similar price range, the Ertiga kicks Avanza's ass in terms of comfort, usability, practicality, fuel consumption and basically everything!

[@josemontano7767]

Very good video

[@cmagazineph]

Thank you!

isn't this the song from old game Holiday Island?

[@cmagazineph]

No idea hahaha it was a Royalty Free song from KZbin

[@anthonyw688]

Do you think a unibody frame could be built for a truck? The honda ridgeline is a unibody.

[@officialpaulaaron21]

Anthony W The Ridgeline is a unibody on frame.

[@darellano09]

No, it's definitely a unibody. What exactly is a unibody on frame?

[@mdogzino]

Most trucks are body on frame lol.

[@a.edwardsnycta5785]

The Ridgeline isn't a real truck. It's on the same platform as a Odyssey

[@jeromerusselldemusicologist]

I didn't hear anything concerning gas mileage... 🤷

[@cmagazineph]

We were discussing about body-types, so mileage isn't part of the equation

[@trl1980]

A unibody truck is the best of both worlds.

[@xoom2]

hahaaa I thought I carry a lot of weight is what you will say uhh but it mean the same anyway

[@MarkArthur]

body on frame - like jeepney. unibody - like car.

[@cmagazineph]

A very Filipino way to explain it. We love it!

[@uhmeizuhngralphf0549]

8 eyes🤔

[@xoom2]

I love Fortuner .. and I love Toyota. good to know that it's body-on -frame or the so called chassis before me thinks that SUVs always have chassis like the pickup and that unibody is for sedans

[@cmagazineph]

Glad you learned something new! - Nics

[@robd1859]

A body on frame can actually survive a light accident with very minimal body shop repair cost. Vs a unibody. Get prepared to have your asshole ripped open at the body shop with no vasoline if you buy something with a unibody. You're looking at bare minimum four thousand dollars repair job.

[@robd1859]

A unibody is a very very bad decision and a very shitty Platform to build a car on. If you tap somebody in a fender bender it will total that unibody at fifteen mile per hour. A body on Frame will actually withstand a light finger bender. And when you go to get it repaired at The Body Shop. I'm a rip off shop. They will not tear you a new asshole like they would on a unibody because a unibody frame can be bent very easily. And it takes a hell of an impact to do any damage to a big solid pick up truck with a body on frame. A 1500 Silverado will be my next truck or bigger. Because I want to be able to drive home after a fender bender.
