great car

excellent car. I got it in 2009 with 13000 miles. When I traded it in it had ( for real) 354000 miles ( yes that is correct) It was still running like a top and it was all original except for two sensors and a master cylinder. You could not beat this care for a better value.

I love it!

I purchased my Trailblazer new in 2008 and I'm still loving it! It consistently gets me where I'm going in any type of weather. I haven't had any major problems and keep up with regular maintenance. To be fair I drive a company car during the week so at 14 years old it has only 58,000 miles on it. I will keep it until it won't go anymore.

Good midsize SUV

This SUV was good enough with many options I was looking for in a used SUV for comfort, the manufacturer options LT LT3, and interior design. I bought this mainly for comfort riding, ability to put a couple of dog crates in the back section and being it is a 4x4.

Trailblazer

This vehicle was in great condition. It was exactly what my wife was looking for. It had more options than we were looking for, and everything worked as it should

Exspensive engine repair!

I bought one used and it stalled on me on the way home from the dealer. $8000-$10,000 for an engine. Camshaft issue. Buyer beware if sold as is.

Great little rig

I drove the tires off my 08 Saturn Aura, little over 200,000, and wanted an inexpensive little SUV with 4WD. Found a used 08 Trailblazer local for around 7k with 107,000 on it and bought it. It’s the LT with cloth interior and the inline six. I drove 114 miles round trip to work four days per week and play on the logging roads of western Oregon on the weekends, it does both just fine. Because I use the 4WD drive, I did throw some 10 ply AT’s on it at one size up from stock, seems to handle them well enough. I stand at 6’3” and don’t have a leg room issue, but headroom is pretty much on the cusp. My one xxxxx is that the passenger side front seat is hard as xxxx. All around great little truck(I say truck because it’s on a full frame, not unibody).

Most reliable car I’ve owned

This car has met all my needs. Very roomy and nice looking. Very reliable and has all the bells and whistles. Drives very smooth, like brand new.

very nice

even though it is 11 years old it drove like a new one. a few minor flaws can be expected for a vehicle this age, but nothing that affected performance or ride
