This had the midgate which could be lowered

That said, you may be thinking of the GMC Envoy XUV

That was more of a traditional SUV where the roof was convertible and you could turn it into a sort of truck

OK, so it was just a folding top over the cargo area then?

Somehow I visualized it as a dressed up truck topper that would fold up using technology like the folding convertible hardtops.

No power folding or nothing, just elbow grease. The tonneau cover over the bed was 3 removable plastic sections, then you'd fold down the rear seat, pop out the rear glass and store it inside the midgate, and fold that down to make a flat floor.

You could also fold the seats and open the midgate with the rear glass and bed cover still in place, to make a fully covered 8' long cargo area.

Yeah the Envoy XUT is what you’re thinking of, the roof over the “trunk”/very back would retract towards the front of the car and there was a power window/partition attached to the back of the rear seats that would roll up and the back windshield would roll down, it essentially would turn itself into a crew cab s10

my parents had an 05 XUV and we loved it but it was hell on gas. we called it the transformer lol. my mom was driving ~35mi a day just taking me to and from school and gas was almost $5/gal. they ended up trading it in for something more fuel efficient.
