Most popular Chevrolet Trailblazer for sale

The Chevrolet TrailBlazer is a mid-size SUV from the Chevrolet division of General Motors. It was introduced in 1999 as an upscale trim line of the Blazer, and became a model in itself for 2002. The rest of the Blazer line continued, but because of the new TrailBlazer, the TrailBlazer trim was discontinued. The TrailBlazer won the North American Truck of the Year award in 2002. The TrailBlazer replaced the Blazer as the company's mid-size SUV, though production of the old Blazer overlapped with the TrailBlazer for some years until 2005 when in their last year, the 2-door was sold at retail while the 4-door was fleet only.

The SUV is built on a truck platform, with all models having four-wheel drive as an option with both automatic engagement and the more traditional "4 High" and "4 Low" gearings. The vehicle has enough ground clearance to allow for moderate to heavy off-road usage. Its main disadvantage is its increased width (as compared to a Jeep Wrangler) and lack of suspension travel, causing it to high side when it encounters high-camber-variance terrain or large rocks. Additionally, it lacks either locking hubs or a limited slip differential, though the latter is available as an option.

The new General Motors G80 locking differential, an option for 2002 and newer models, helps make the Trailblazer a compentent off road vehicle.

The TrailBlazer comes with a 290 horsepower aluminum 4.2 Liter "Atlas" inline six cylinder standard and an optional 302 horsepower aluminum small block 5.3 Liter V8 with Active Fuel Management. The inline six makes the TrailBlazer the most powerful six cylinder SUV in its class. The Active Fuel Management system shuts off 4 of the 8 cylinders during highway travel and idle to save fuel. The 6 cylinder versions of the TrailBlazer get up to 22 miles per gallon highway, according to EPA estimates. The TrailBlazer can tow up to 6,800 lb, which gives it a huge advantage over unibody (car based) crossover SUVs.

In model year 2005, the TrailBlazer overtook the Ford Explorer to become the best selling SUV by a small margin in the North American market. The TrailBlazer is sold in some countries in Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and South America.

The car hugs you with the 8-way power driver seat. The steering wheel is comfortable with control buttons readily accessible. During the winter, the car warms up quickly as well as having multi-level heating driver seat is awesome! The heated mirrors are a blessing for midwest winters. Even those April Snow Showers! You'll find plenty of room and power in this Vette Engine equiped SUV. 12V front, 12V rear and 12V cargo area power outlet(s) are handy. The Bose Speakers and XM satellite radio is superb! The Sun/Moon roof is much larger and greatly appreciated!
