Body-On-Frame or Unibody?

If you didn’t know, there are two kinds of SUV – Body-on-frame and unibody construction. Body-on-frame construction is what it sounds like the frame is what the drivetrain and suspension bolt to, and the body is a separate component bolted to the frame. Trucks, which serve as the base for many SUVs, are typically body-on-frame. Unibody construction is how every car and some light trucks are built today. The frame and bodywork are integrated, with the drivetrain and suspension components bolted directly to the body. Today, the term SUV refers to body-on-frame vehicles, while unibody vehicles are known as crossovers.

Explorer

The iconic Ford Explorer is among the best-selling SUVs ever. Built on a unibody platform since 2011, the Explore still offers drivers the ability to tackle snowy back roads or school drop-off with the same confidence.

Escape

The perfect crossover for darting around town or a weekend getaway, the Ford Escape packs a lot into a small package. An available plug-in hybrid offers an EPA-estimated range of over 550 miles.

Edge

A quiet cabin makes this crossover great for long road trips. With nearly 114 cubic feet of cabin space and around 39 cubic feet of cargo space, you can fit the whole family and the dog as you hit the road.

Expedition

A full-size SUV in every sense of the word. The Expedition has seating for up to eight. Depending on how you have it configured, this beast can tow 9,300 pounds. The Expedition will get you and the whole crew wherever you’re going.

Bronco Sport

Reminiscent of the original 1966 Bronco, this compact crossover has all the flair and grit of its namesake. Great for getting to the office or catching everyone’s attention around Sheldon, IA, the Bronco Sport is a great choice.

Bronco

This SUV speaks for itself. This animal’s power and off-road capabilities make it nearly impossible for any terrain to wrangle it. Go where you want and in style.
