If you were to take out a loan for a used vehicle, would you have to have it covered with 'full coverage' insurance?

There is really no such thing as "full coverage". Most people use this term to refer to physical damage coverage. Physical damage coverage consists of collision and comprehensive coverage. Generally, collision insurance covers damage to your automobile caused by collision with another object or by upset. Comprehensive insurance covers damage to your automobile from vandalism, theft or glass breakage. Most lienholders require physical damage coverage if you are financing or leasing your vehicle. To find out if you required to carry the comprehensive and collision coverages, you will need to contact the company that holds the loan.
