2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer consumer reviews

Best price available vehicle that i could afford. Runs smooth good gas mileage, would buy another one !

We rented a trailblazer while our blazer was in the shop for 6 days. We found it was a little bigger all over, better ride, more powerful, better milage, bigger gas tank and more fun to drive. After reading, looking and bringing 4 different Trailblazers home to see if wife likes the color and features for 3 months. A Black 2005 LT with special aluminum wheels came to our dealership that pleased everyone in the family. When I first drove it I thought I was driving a V8 and found out it has lower gears than the rental. It did run a little faster RPM but did not down shift so much. It was GM Certified and loaded with every option available excep dvd. This vehicle was cheapest and the nicest of the 3 suv's I have owned. Now my wife's Boss is jealous.... she gave him the salesman's card and hope he trades that Durango in for a Bowtie. The rental (2006) had 3.42 gears did get 20.5 among the hills. The 2005 with 3.73 gears gets 18.5 and ran higher rpm. I liked the fact that it did not downshift so much. I like to have enough low end torque to stay in overdrive for better milage.

the trailbalzer is a great car, its performance is exelent, its very comfortable, very quiet on the road, and is has lots of room inside. The 4wd version has great traction on snow and dirt roads, and the bilstien shocks really make the ride smooth and comfortable. overall i would recommend this car to anyone who is looking for an SUV.

I was looking for a midsized SUV with a fullsize towing capacity. When compared to any other midsized suv, the Trailblazer was far and above any other in regards to towing. The 4.2 V6 is smooth and performs great when trying to get onto the highway. It also has incredible stopping ability with a 20ft inboard water ski boat behind it. When not towing, there is never a want for more power. It has a lot of interior room to load up the family,and it the back has plenty of room for groceries, clubs, etc. The fit and finish of the vehicle is not up to par with the others I looked at (toureg, x5, aviator), but they seemed more like luxury cars instead of trucks. You also would have had to pay about another 10 grand for them. If you tow anything, go with the trailblazer.
