Sure you can.  You just have to shop more carefully, and be prepared to
pay more.

If indeed they _have_ a frame.  Some of the new LSUV's are built with a
unitized body, and don't have a real frame at all.  They're just big
cars pretending to be trucks.  Prang one and it's toast.

For so many people, particularly insecure men, driving the biggest, most
powerful thing on the planet seems to be some sort of sign of
"masculinity".  Whether it be a Big Ass Truck or a hotrodded Mustang, or
even a big motorcycle with loud pipes.  In fact there's a term for them.
 They're called PEV's.  That's "Penis Enhancement Vehicles".  To prop up
the egos of insecure men who are unsure of their own factory original
equipment.
