Is the Wildlander a body-on-frame structure?
1 Answers
The Wildlander is a body-on-frame structure. Definition of body-on-frame structure: A body-on-frame structure is flexibly connected to the frame through rubber cushions or springs. The frame serves as the foundation supporting the entire vehicle, bearing various loads from all installed assemblies. The body only bears the weight and inertial forces of passengers and cargo, with no consideration given to the body's auxiliary role in frame load-bearing during frame design. Functions of body-on-frame structure: In addition to the damping and vibration absorption provided by tires and suspension systems, flexible rubber cushions can also assist in buffering, appropriately absorbing frame torsional deformation, and reducing noise. This not only extends the body's service life but also improves ride comfort, making it widely used in luxury cars and some mid-range vehicles.
