A Toyota Highlander is considered a full-size SUV, I thought.....am I wrong in this? What are you calling a full-size SUV?
A question that once mystified me, too....Turns out that there are two kinds of "UV"'s: the "SUV" (Sport utility vehicle), which is usually based on a truck chassis, and the "CUV" (Crossover utility vehicle), which is a sort of ground-up hybrid between a truck and a car. SUV's tend to be beefier and will haul bigger loads than will CUV's.
The Toyota Highlander is a mid-size CUV...Toyota's full sized SUV's are the Sequoia and the Landcruiser.
Here's a link to a chart that shows type/class of most S/CUV's sold in North America.
