What is "cuv crossover"? Typo or RV lingo that I should learn? Should it mean SUV crossover what is the ...correlation between that type of vehicle and smaller trailers as you see it?
"CUV" is the acronym for "crossover utility vehicle". It was originally coined to differentiate the unibody/car-based platform from that of traditional SUV's (sports utility vehicle), which were based on pickup trucks. Link
Funny thing- the number of real true SUV's is shrinking, fewer and fewer being based on the traditional ladder-frame that distinguishes pickups. But there are more CUV's all the time.
Another funny thing :
I've never been able to decide if the first-gen Kia Sportage is a CUV or an SUV...not only was it a ground-up build, its got what's called a "modified ladder frame" that more resembles that of a pickup than a car-?
