Is the Explorer a unibody?

[DeEmmanuel]

The Explorer is a unibody. Unibody: No frame, reduces overall vehicle weight; structure does not affect interior cabin space, lowers floor height for easier entry and exit; suitable for sedans, compact cars, and urban SUVs, which are lighter and more fuel-efficient. Lower center of gravity ensures stable highway driving, and the integrated body is safer. However, body-on-frame construction is relatively safer. Differences in chassis and body connection: Body-on-frame construction has a separate chassis and body, allowing the vehicle to operate normally even if the body is removed; unibody construction integrates the body and chassis, making complete separation impossible. Differences in body weight: Body-on-frame construction is heavier with a higher center of gravity, which negatively affects vehicle handling; unibody construction is lighter with a lower center of gravity, improving vehicle handling. Differences in ride comfort: Body-on-frame construction is heavier with a relatively higher center of gravity, resulting in poorer ride comfort; unibody construction is lighter with a lower center of gravity, offering better interior space utilization and improved ride comfort.
