And the reason for this is that the “light truck” classification has weaker emissions standards, so they can cheap out on efficiency of the engine which means higher profit margins (and more harmful pollution for us to enjoy inhaling).
The Forester up until 2008 was quite literally an Impreza/Legacy chassis that shares identical drivetrain components except for the body. It is unibody, Macpherson strut, symmetrical AWD and as far from a truck as you can get.
I drive a 91 Cherokee and I defend myself because I like Jeeps and cherokees are easy to work on. I would kill for an old 70s military Jeep truck though, hell id commit genocide for one of those old boxed Willy Jeeps they find in the gods forsaken deep storage of places like the Sierra Army Depot.
Rebuild one, the few that are still in the boxes are given to museums not psychotic Rednecks. On more realistic levels though I think it’d be neat to get an old willy Jeep body and convert it to electric, theyre light enough that a squad of men can pick them up so I figure they may actually lose weight without an engine depending on the battery type.
Per the legal US definition, almost every SUV is a “light truck”, including my 1999 Subaru Forester…

His Forrester is built on a Legacy chassis; it’s a four door sedan with a little lift and a bigger body shell on top.

nope, not a truck in any sense of the word. granted I use it like one, lol, but it is very much a light passenger car chassis.
There are plenty of SUVs with unibodies. Hell every Jeep Cherokee from 1984 on is a unibody.

And this is why it is a scam. All of these vehicles are all used as soccer mom mobiles.
