Even official limo of their president is literally a truck dressed up as a sedan (picrel). With longer distances (in comparison to Europe and Asia) logic tells that construction suitable for comfort, speed and range should be preferable over long term reliability during towing heavy weights.

What a fucking zoomer "throw away society" mindset.
Next time you want to complain about "forever plastics" in your food supply remember that YOURE the one that put it there.
My generation was buying micro switches from Radio Shack to replace the power button on our radios. You people just throw out the whole unit and buy a new one.

Entire sentence. Otherwise chassis of typical truck is usually fucked and rusted much sooner than typical unibody car.

Only pro of body on frame is if car is mostly used for towing, but even then difference to modern unibody constructions isn't anywhere near some people make it seem.

Americans need to haul much heavier loads (their bodyweight) than Europe and Asia.

Hahahahahaha
You've never dealt with a truck or a vehicle with a frame.
Youre fucking delusional.
My 1968 frame will still be here after your grandchildren are dead of old age and every unibody car you've touched has returned to earth as oxides.

Europeans don't understand longevity or robust parts because their car industry runs on planned obsolescence and their automakers engineer things so you have to go through their specially trained technicians for repairs. they hated sealed beams because it cucked the manufacturer out of selling their overpriced parts and offered the consumer a cheaper standardized alternative. Americans carry this robust design to their sports cars and luxury cars. reusing parts and equipment that works, instead of making fragile specialized engines and components that require ritualistic maintenance schedules and fluids. Europeans design a 16 cylinder 4 turbo hyper cars just to go slower than some pushrod small block derivative that is far cheaper in maintenance.

>dogshit light, barely llights up the road
>if it breaks you have to reolace the whole fuckin light instead of just the bulb
it only stuck so long in usa because you had laws limiting the max strength of lights on a car. if you go to sweden for instance they have been installing The Sun 3000 or whatever x 4 on their cars since forever, but then again they have eternal darkness half the year and 314 moose per km of road.
Sealed beam was planned obsoloence and mandate by the law under car lobby influence.

Are you implying that unibody vehicles ride better? Because they don't and comfort is important in the free and developed world.

>>
>>28891569
It's not and I'm on leaf springs and a couple shocks on the rear. That's ancient Egyptian level tech. I've been in all the crossovers from econoboxes like Kias all the way up to $100k "luxury" crossovers and they all ride stiff and like shit. My ox cart tier trugg rides better because it has proper tires and not tryhard "sport tuned" suspension.

they're still very cheap and easy to replace though.
>>
>>28891583
no its not stiff at all
i just rode in my aunt's porsche and its WAY stiffer
(base model macan)
I literally got the Kia cuz the suspension is p l u s h and it goes on long road trips
leaf springs are legendary for poor ride quality
>>
>>28890942
>logic tells that construction suitable for comfort
that's what body on frame does well lol. a set of points connecting the frame with the body are typically cushioned in passenger cars which further isolates road vibrations and shocks from the occupants
>>
>>28891589
Post your aspect ratio and hands. Sorry but your rubber bands and "make it stiff so it doesn't flip" suspension just can't compete with tried and true technology. You're surprised a Gaycan rides like shit? It's German and a ultra tryhard "sporty" crossover. Bad comparison. Leaf springs don't inherently ride bad. A properly designed leaf pack will ride better than a poorly designed spring.
>>
>>28891598
what? the kia's suspension is as soft as possible it hates turning
I have 235/65 Falken Wildpeak's on it for dirt roads and rain.
also been in a tiguan and various bmws and they are all too firm as well. I like comfy. I guess I haven't actually ridden in a bof vehicle in a long time, but I do read every single review of them in car magazines.

Yes and that's not a matter of opinion but objective fact. Unibody construction has lower center of gravity, making it less wobbly. It means less sea sickness for passangers and better agility at greater speeds for a driver.

Unibody is just superior in every way from user's perspective.
>>
>>28891085
>My 1968 frame will still be here after your grandchildren are dead of old age
Good for you I guess, but it's a matter of oldschool quality vs new shitty quallity and not a matter of design. Nowadays some truck manufacturers even give shorter warranty on a chassis because it's the first thing that will turn to rust.

Chassis of my brother's Nissan truck started rusting 5 years after he bought it new. I don't remember ever having a car with such problems appearing so soon.

you mean the callaway sledgehammer? since they never produced more than one car, it's pretty obvious that it was just a disposable drag racer dressed up as a sports car. no ability to just own the car, take it out and drive it fast whenever you want like you could with a veyron. probably end up wrapped around a telephone pole in that thing even if you got it to its top speed as a non-professional driver.
>>
>>28891805
>clutching at straws lmao
There's no reason to start designing a car with disadvantage when you don't need it. That's why Range Rovers are unibody instead of body on frame.

Even newer buses are made unibody from ground up, because it's easier to design durable unibody than comfy body on frame.

The current fastest production car is a small block derivative.
>it's pretty obvious that it was just a disposable drag racer dressed up as a sports car.
How? Based on the fact that it can drive in traffic to and from its destination while the Veyron couldn't? Veyron needed to be towed to its destination. veyron needs its entire drivetrain replaced and wait until conditions are perfect before they can even attempt a top speed run. the veyron was the disposable dragster given the amount of money you have to dispose of just to drive it. tons of 1000 HP twin turbo vettes like the sledgehammer exist and non professional drivers do top speed runs in them all the time ease, unlike the veyron, where only one customer ever did a top speed run, and he had to spend a shit ton of money rebuilding the car's components and trying repeatedly over multiple days because the car is so fragile.

European cope is funny, given how they design their own """sports""" cars.

Unibody is more durable than body on frame isn't vomit-inducing. Quite literally.

can jack up the car anywhere on anything without worrying about the sissy reinforced jackpoints on a cuckbody car
rust eventually gets everybody. much easier to weld up a frame. in my country they dont care if sheet metal on the cab got rust if frame is solid. random fucking sheetmetal on a unibody car with rust fails inspection.
things generally easier to access from below. unibody cars are discardable appliances, body on frame is for when you care and want your car last decades
