Volkswagen Reportedly Eyes Body-On-Frame Trucks and SUVs for the American Market

· 1 min read

Volkswagen is said to be weighing a shift toward rugged, body-on-frame vehicles built specifically for American buyers, including new SUVs and pickup trucks. The move is reportedly tied to improving profit margins, with off-roaders seen as a stronger fit for this side of the Atlantic than the brand's traditional car-based lineup. No models, timelines, or specifications have been disclosed.

With reporting from Road & Track.
