Это не моя логика - это классификация. Есть понятие SUV - под которое попадает и Тахо и ниссан кашкай и дальше идут разграничения по размеру. Что такое full-size я не знаю в кубических или каких-то там миллиметрах, но раз в этой нише Durango и Tahoe, то так тому и быть. В конце концов Вы можете придумать свою классификацию и засунуть в нее любые желаемые машины, а не использовать эту маркетологическую фигню А насчет Ваших предпочтений к плоскостной раме (frame) или пространственной (несущий кузов) - тоже можете придумать классификацию любую, Вас никто не сдерживает)
Ну и где в этом списке Кашкай. Написали бред, затем начинаете искать в Википедии подтверждение своему бреду. Огромнейшая просьба к модератору удалить все что не касается сравнения двух поколений Тахо. Нельзя допустить что бы этот бред кто-то читал.

А это уважаемый exxxtreme вам для ликбеза, основы терминологии:
Crossover Utility Vehicle (CUV)
What is a crossover SUV? A crossover utility vehicle (CUV) is an automobile which is built on a car platform and combines the general features of sports utilities (SUVs) with those of passenger vehicles. The most noticeable of which are those characteristics which are similar to a hatchback or station wagon, but crossovers are generally smaller than a full SUV or large MPV.
What is the difference between a CUV and SUV? Crossover utility vehicles are built using the unibody construction which is typical of a passenger vehicle as opposed to that of the body-on-frame platform used in light trucks (and original SUVs). Smaller models may only have seating for only four people (compact-CUV) whereas other versions can only accommodate two people, despite their appearance of a tiny truck.
As a rule, crossovers combine the design features which are typical of SUVs such as tall interior packaging, high center of gravity (H-point) and ground-clearance, with all-wheel-drive capabilities. Add to that, independent rear suspension, car-like handling, and superior fuel economy, and you have the classic ingredients for a modern day CUV.
Despite all this technobabble, crossovers often include the two-box design with rear access via a door or liftgate with passenger and cargo volume enhanced by fold-down rear seats. Perhaps the biggest advantage of driving a crossover is the having the choice between front, rear, or all-wheel drive configurations. That said, they are typically designed for light off-road capabilities.
Popular crossover vehicles include the Nissan Pathfinder, Lexus RX, Explorer, Highlander and Grand Cherokee, and the Acura MDX.
Softroaders (crossovers)
A soft-roader rarely has the same short overhangs or increased road clearance to conquer the full blown heavy off road tracks. Nonetheless, SUV or wagon soft-roaders will typically perform a step above regular cars on snowy roads or light muddy trails because of their suspension adjustments and skid plates. Perhaps for this reason, most are referred to as 'crossovers', and a typical example of a softroader would be the Citroen C-Crosser.
Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV)
A Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) is an auto similar to a station wagon or estate car equipped with four-wheel drive to provide on-road or off-road capabilities - some owners call their 4x4 an 'action utility vehicle'. What helps to make 4x4 SUVs special is that many of them offer the handy towing capacity of a pickup truck conveniently combined with the passenger-carrying space of a large family sedan or spacious minivan.
Sports utility vehicles are undeniably large and rugged, easily handling rough surfaces and extreme terrain. Add to that a 4x4 auto which is never out of place on multi-lane highways and urban city roadways. Built on a light-truck chassis, the term SUV is synonymous with almost any car which delivers all-wheel drive and raised ground clearance. SUV examples include the Chevrolet Tahoe, Ford Expedition and Mercedes G-Class.
