Real trucks get most of their tow rating from the strength of the frame and since the Slate has little to no tow rating I assumed it was a unibody. I could be 100% wrong and would like to know.

Yes, I believe they call it the Slate Board? A play on words of skateboard

It’s a unibody. Welded space frame, not cast (like Tesla uses).
