Most modern SUV's aren't trucks in any sense. They crossovers built on car frames.

yes, but I'm speaking about the legal classification. They are always light trucks in the US https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Light_truck

Side note, the Wikipedia page has a section about how SUVs get away with less stringent emissions standards

Legally they are light trucks. Obviously that's not how they're used or designed.
