Besides the obvious cosmetic similarites, the powertrains, frames and suspensions are essentially identical when comparing like models (Silverado/Tahoe, Dakota/Durango, etc).
BTW, I am not a greenie, I am proud to do my part to use fossil fuels. SUV's do nothing more to pollute the air than ninnys who drive electric cars... Maybe less. Electrics are just polite enough to pollute in someone elses backyard.

They are nearly the same thing underneath, but different bodies. A few other minor mechanics. A lot of car makers produce their SUV's and trucks on the same production line, and just change the ouside body parts for different vehicles.

No i does no longer propose it. Its no accident that off street autos have a taller sidewall than a vehicle. The sidewall of a tire does better than purely take a seat there, it absorbs minor quantities of ask your self earlier the potential is going interior the path of the rim into the suspension of the vehicle.The flex of it additionally lends itself to a slower 2d whilst part to part action is in contact. think of roughly it like a bike could you prefer to take lance Armstrong's trial bike off street or an old mountain bike the fatter wider tire promises extra tractive ability besides as minor ask your self absorption. Lances bike is gonna take the vibration and direct rigidity directly to the physique and rim. the only component i could desire to think of that that would advance is your tires footprint or its circumference which improves traction ( think of of the extensive back tire of a impressive gas vehicle) yet you are able to desire to realize a similar on a usual tire purely by going up in sidewall height.

SUV's are usually nothing more than a truck chassis with a station wagon body slapped on.

SUVS and Pickups are both trucks. They can haul a lot of weight and suck up a lot of gas.
