Irene's post demonstates that unibody construction isn't an automatic kiss of death - and I am as guilty as anyone of this assumption. If the vehicle designers specifically built the unibody to handle a WDH, then all is well.
BUT
Many unibody vehicles are not built with a WDH in mind. If your prospective vehicle has a unibody, that should be an automatic reason to dig deeper - much deeper. So many manufacturers of unibody vehicles say "NO" that it would be unwise to assume that the answer is "YES" unless the vehicle mfr specifically confirms it.
By the way, Irene, the "jeep site with tons of info on jeep" apparently is not the Jeep manufacturer's web site, right? In this case it is probably accurate, since Jeep does list a Class IV receiver as an option. But in general I am leery of relying solely on a website whose theme seems to be "This truck rocks!"
