SUVs like the Rigdeline and Grand Cherokee are Uni-Body. Where as the Explorer and F150 are body on frame.

I like the pilot, have you owned a pilot to compare to a explorer/mountaineer. I hear the mountaineers are full of problems.

actually F that, I don't need to explain myself to you. I drive a Jeep Liberty.
for you to say foreign is crap because you dont like them is wrong, just say you dont like them and move on. Dont judge other peoples rides because they chose what they wanted to buy and you dont like them.
