AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

Existing body-on-frame pickup trucks suffer from poor torsional rigidity and collision safety due to flexible connections between the vehicle frame and body, leading to low stability and riding comfort.

Method used

A body-on-frame pickup truck design with a vehicle frame and body that are integrally connected through a plurality of rigid connection points and fasteners, featuring a closed frame structure with frame rails and cross-members, and a unified occupant compartment and cargo box, enhancing rigidity and stability.

Benefits of technology

Improves torsional rigidity and collision safety, enhances handling stability, and increases riding comfort by providing a firm connection between the vehicle frame and body, while allowing for a more rational space design and improved aesthetics.

Abstract

A body-on-frame pickup truck, comprising a frame (100) and a truck body (200) connected to the frame, wherein the truck body comprises a passenger compartment (210) and a cargo bed (220), which are integrated with each other; and the frame and the truck body are provided with a plurality of hard connection points (401, 402, 403, 404, 405, 406, 407, 408, 409, 410), and the plurality of hard connection points cooperate with a plurality of fasteners (300) to implement a hard connection between the truck body and the frame. The passenger compartment and the cargo bed are integrally connected to each other, such that the connection between the passenger compartment and the cargo bed is enhanced, and the appearance of the pickup truck, the stability of the cargo bed, the collision safety and the handling and stability performance are improved. Moreover, the plurality of hard connection points cooperating with the fasteners are arranged to enable the hard connection between the truck body and the frame, such that the bending stiffness and the torsional rigidity of the pickup truck are improved, and the driving safety is further improved.
