GM dumped the mid size trucks because they weren't worth it, but the market came back. Maybe a BOF, RWD Blazer would bring back the small SUV market and GM can get out in front.
Isn't the Bronco coming back as a BOF RWD?

If its body on frame & rear wheel drive ... its not a crossover. Its an SUV
As for the crossover count, in North America there are currently:
- 3 at Chevy (Trax, Equinox, Traverse)
- 2 at GMC (Terrain, Acadia)
- 3 at Buick (Encore, Envision, Enclave)
- 1 at Cadillac
So 9 across 4 brands.
Thing is though, they also offer more SUV's than anybody else. Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon (and XL), and Escalade. I think GM counts that as 5 (Yukon & Yukon XL are 'different') but many would argue its only 4. Either way, I'm pretty sure thats still more than any other automaker. Granted, the only choices are big & bigger but if anyone needs an SUV to do SUV things, you can absolutely get one from GM if you want.
