If you need something bigger than an Equinox but not as massive as a Suburban, the 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer will probably fit well into your life (as well as your garage). It has good front- and rear-seat legroom, lots of headroom and a fair amount of cargo space.
You may not like the TrailBlazer if you’re looking for car-like handling or need the convenience of a third-row seat.
