These days, the SUV is, typically, built on some sort of car frame, unless it has its own, special architecture. Think of models like the Honda CR-V or the Toyota RAV4. Both are known as relatively capable crossover SUVs with sedan platforms sitting underneath. However, if we turn back the clock about two decades, nearly all SUVs in the North American market were built on pickup truck frames, making them robust, simple, and easy to repair.
