Even though most mainstream cars moved to the unibody structural layout, the body-on-frame configuration which most trucks retain can be easily traced back to the days when there were no dedicated truck platforms on the Ford and Chevrolet ranges. But it was so easier to push the average Joe from traditional body-on-frame sedans and wagons to trucks and SUVs, which by the way are favored by EPA and CAFE rules.
