The body provides the protection.
Just like it does for just about every car made. They stopped making body-on-frame cars a long time ago. Version Two will not have a steel frame like this one. V2 is basically a whole new car, but uses the current body as a buck for making a mold for the outer panels of the new one.

Here in the netherlands there aren.t alot of thos big suv.s and pickups. But still. Safety is a number 1 for me
