Almost all SUV's are crossovers these days, including the three row ones. There are still some on truck frames like the Suburban but the market has almost entirely shifted. I assume they're cheaper to build that way, lighter, and also drive more like a car than a truck.

I think the big reason we see more unibody SUVs/trucks is that people don't need the body-on-frame rigidity as much as the automaker needs to meet CAFE standards (in the US at least).
