Most trucks have ‘body on frame’ construction. Not clear on Cybertruck stuff, but for normal ICE trucks, the towing and payload requirements, plus large engines just make it easier. They tend to be less sensitive to the need for optimizing strength-weight ratio like modern emission controlled cars too, or precisely engineered crumple zones, which is a large part of why modern cars are unibody construction.
