Best Bang for your Buck!!

It is very good on gas if you keep up preventive maintenance, dependable we bought used with 130,000 miles 3 years ago and over 200,000 miles now and has never let us down, great for long trips with the family 7 seats fit everyone in comfort with plenty of room for luggage on top and can be equipt with a cargo carrier, the kids love it and both our dogs can't wait to roll out, by far the best bang for your buck instead of putting out money for a new vehicle we just got a new paint job with a set of new stock rims we good for another 10 years. we did an upgrade to the nav/radio for only $122.00. aftermarket parts are extremely reasonable so when it's time to change out a part it's very easy on the wallet, take care of her and she won't let you down.

I loved this SUV

This SUV is in excellent condition and provides a comfy ride anywhere you may want to go . The truck has been customized with a sound system, remote start, and alarm system. I have also put in after market lights in the front and back of truck and I have added a lot of chrome to the outside of the truck. There?s no other Trailblazer out on the road like this one.

Loved My Trailblazer

I bought my Trailblazer brand new and I loved it. I had the oil changed every 3000 miles but neglected the Tranny. I towed a car from PA to Cali with no problem at all. I wouldn't even know you were towing a car that is how smooth it was. I was towing a Chevy Lumina. After a few months back in PA I noticed it was slipping some. I never had any trouble with my Trailblazer at all. As far as the tranny goes it was my fault.

One of the Safest vehicles I've owned!

This is the second Trailblazer that I have owned. The first one was totaled after hydroplaning on the highway. The vehicle was built so well that it absorbed the impact and let all of us walk away with only scratches. Fantastic in the snowy winters of New England. Wish they still made them!

Absolutely Loved This Car

I have owned mine for going on 13 years now and there is nothing that I regret about owning it. Great 7 passenger seating, best riding car 4 x 4 I've ever owned and very dependable.

Great vehicle.

Body lasts a long time, I put my vehicle through a lot and it never gave up on me. Was very big inside but the body was not to huge.

Great vehicle

It has met our needs. It has been a very reliable truck. We transported family members comfortably in this vehicle. The radio has excellent sound. Loved that sunroof. No rust made it a great buy for us when we purchased it and with retiring we no longer need it.

Great SUV, but needs work!!!

Chevy had some good intentions with this model of trailblazer, where they most definitely lacked good ideas was in the drive line it's self. Now I've drove several other IL6 vehicles, but chevy really hit rock bottom with their 4.2L IL6 that came stock in the trailblazer, was not a good motor at all. Lacked power, fuel mileage was way to low, life of motor was at best 125-150,000 miles before major problems came out of it. But the overall design of the interior and exterior was great. Very spacious on the inside. Clean lines and bends on the out side.
