A unit-body vehicle is stronger than any comparable body-on-frame. The latter is simply cheaper to build. Same for an aero, all-aluminum TT over the buggy-sprung white plastic boxes. Design makes for superiority. Does more with less.
A mid-60's big-block Chrysler sedan is pretty much a better TV than any current pickup. Add a few safety features of today and it would be a walk-away.
Sad that todays buyer -- with no idea of the history of travel trailers -- believes that a pickup is not only better, but the only choice altogether. And as a result spends more to have less . . as the day in and day out costs of running a pickup are higher than a car. Not to mention being less safe in any circumstance.
