It's okay, between an antiquated Ford barge with leaf springs and what the Cap'n considers more refined, I know what I would want.
Dolomite!

Oi! I said the Galaxie was refined! Still generates tyre squeal on every junction taken at more than walking speed and drinks fuel like Apollo 11 though.
I drove a '66 Galaxie a while ago and despite it being utterly fucked it was a different class of car entirely in terms of comfort and refinement. Of course it also handled like garbage, didn't fit in a McDonald's parking space and was getting a giddy 18mpg.

Eh, it's not really much of an indicator, after all the Explorer and the Pathfinder also ditched body on frame and became just large cross overs.This might actually be cool, I mean, GM has got a great reputation at resurrecting their 4x4 nameplates.
Oh. Wait.

Should be pretty easy to give it some seeing as how electric drivetrains are very compact but would you really want to take something with limited range on a trail?I hope that it still has some 4x4 cred at least.

Construction of the car doesn’t matter much, the Jeep Cherokee before crossover-izing was body on frame. Aren’t Range Rovers also unibody?
Wait, are we calling the XJ Cherokee a crossover now? It may seem crossover sized compared to modern ones, but at the time it was widely considered a compact SUV. Not many crossovers out there with F+R stick axles.
It matters for how it drives and road manners. Not sure about Rovers but they are definitely more road tuned than off road despite having some good off-roading capabilities.Construction of the car doesn’t matter much, the Jeep Cherokee before crossover-izing was not body on frame.

No, but it was unibody.
