    I drive a 2004 GMC Envoy, and I've noticed we don't really have a good midsized SUV in the game. The closest there is is the Roamer, but that's full-sized and it's from the 90's :p. A mid-2000's GMC Envoy/Chevy Trailblazer would be a lot of fun to have.

    (I can't find the best way to attach pictures of my car, otherwise I'd post them! :p)

    The Roamer is a full-size SUV. It is based on the D-Series frame, which is a full-size truck.

    I'd say it's more akin to the explorer as the expedition is a fullsize and the explorer is a midsize

    It looks like an Explorer (which is midsize) but is sized like an Expedition (fullsize) or Tahoe (also fullsize). It also has an extended wheelbase variant which is the same size as a Suburban (LWB fullsize).

    EDIT: Explorers were built on modified Ranger frames.

    The tahoe is more midsize really, since it's similar in length to the explorer

    The S10-Blazer and Trailblazer are midsize. The Tahoe is still a fullsize because it uses a shortened fullsize truck frame. You can easily tell when you sit inside one of these SUVs. I have been in an crew cab S10 (same as a S10-Blazer from the front doors forward), and the center console is about half the width of one from a Yukon of the same year. The firewall is closer, the roof is lower, and the passenger door is not very far away. In a fullsize SUV like a Tahoe, you can fit 3 full seats in each row and it has the same body as a Suburban if you only look at the front half of the vehicle.
