There's been a lot of speculation that some upcoming midsize and even half-ton trucks may go to some form of a unibody chassis for weight savings and fuel economy. Would you consider a unibody "truck" or would you move up to a 3/4 or 1-ton to retain a body-on-frame design, which is widely acknowledged to be easier to modify and customize?  

We all know what a huge success this concept was with the humpback whale like Honda Ridgeback, I mean Ridgeline. Trucks will never regain quite their level of popularity as regular transportation devices if gas prices remain as they are. Plus, I doubt that a unibody chassis would give more than a 4 mpg boost to a truck. Most Ridgelines (and sister MDX/Pilot models) get on average 13-15mpg. Just my two scheckles.  

Yeah, but percentage wise, 4 mpg is about 20 percent. May not seem like much, but when you're looking at it from the OE perspective of CAFE and everything, it adds up.
