The vast majority of crossovers that are certified as light trucks do it by having 3 rows with fold down seats or by being designed for off-road travel.

Being designed for offroad travel requires minimal dimensions for ground clearance, approach angle, breakover angle, and departure angle. Oh - and AWD or 4WD makes it easier. There are 2wd vehicles that meet the off-road standard but they are rare.
