A "Frame" is an outdated term, per se; only trucks and very few large cars still use a "frame" in modern automobiles.
A "Frame" is the base structure of a truck, or older car, it is normally shaped like a box with points front and rear (to hold the bumpers); think of an "H" but with double crossbars near the top and bottom. Frames are made of very ridged and heavy steel, and that is why they are still in use for trucks and very heavy (large) cars. Frames have an advantage that they do not flex or bend easy, the disadvantage is they transfer more impact shock to the occupants of the vehicle.
The next time you see a Semi-Truck (Tractor Trailer) look at the rear wheels of the Tractor (normally under the starting of the 'box') those large C shaped pieces of metal (behind the tires) is a part of its frame.
