how is that even possible? how are the wheels/frame not all f'ed up and lifted off the ground? How is that thing even driving straight? It looks like a tree fell on top of it. Yikes.

The body and the frame are separate on proper SUV/Trucks.

IT should not be all that surprising. On Top Gear UK, they proclaimed the Toyota Hilux (pickup version of that 4 runner with the damage) as a vehicle they could not kill. This one only had a tree fall on it. ;)
