Most vehicles now are considered unibodies meaning that the body acts as the frame for the majority of the vehicle. Large SUVs and pick-ups still use the traditional body on frame setup due to it's ability to tow larger loads. Either way, the term used to describe the underpinnings of a vehicle is chassis (pronounced "chassy").
