Body-on-frame
Body-on-frame
is the traditional automotive construction technique in which
the body structure, including doors, quarter panels, roof,
front fenders, hood, trunk, etc., is attached to a separate
frame bearing the powertrain and suspension components. A
body-on-frame construction is strong and rigid but also heavy.
It has been almost universally superseded by unibody construction.
