Trailblazer

Owned this truck for seven years. It has made many trips from Indiana to PA, pulled a pop up camper during CoVID, and assisted in police work. Can’t say enough about this truck. It was purchased by a shop that will give it a new lease on life. It was like saying goodbye to an old friend.

I love this truck and my very first truck

I love my truck, I have had him since 2016 and he has been reliable, parts are findable and affordable, nice and roomy in the inside and I feel safe on the road. I want the 2024 model with all the extra features ❤️❤️❤️❤️

Nice little SUV

Nice little SUV, Fairly decent and gas has plenty of room for the family and equipment if you’re a contractor you can strap a ladder to the roof no problem. Four-wheel-drive is nice for the snow and pulling through sand or mud. They are fairly inexpensive and the quality is proportionate to the pricing

This vehicle is a beast.

4.2L engine, towed our first RV with it. Nearly 16 years and spending just a couple of hundred dollars a year to keep it running great. I'd buy another vehicle just like it, if I could find one. Styling is classic SUV. Still looks great.

Trailblazer

I love my Trailblazer! I bought it used to pull my camper. I have replaced several parts but that is expected with a used car. If I ever buy a new car, I would probably stay with a Chevy Trailblazer or something similar.

The Heavy Chevy

My Chevy is awesome. Has plenty of power, and dosent let me down. But, you must pay the cost to be the boss. When it need repairs you might be shuffling out 700 to 1300 for minor and major repairs. Also, fnding rhe right place to leave for maintenance can be a task. That's if you want things done right.

Decent SUV

My Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS has the 6 cylinder motor. It currently has 193,000. It has currently issues with a misfire cylinder 2, a blown resistor motor in the rear, and the 4wd does not work. The rear wheels lock up when I put it in 4wd. Overall its a good vehicle. The rear seats are easy to work. I like the cargo shelf and the lift glass and gate are handy. I've hauled tools, garden supplies, groceries, and still sat 4 people comfortably. Since its a 2005, parts are easily found in junkyards and online. Once everything is fixed on it, I believe I'll get another 200,000 miles out of her.

2005 Trailblazer

I bought my trailblazer in 2005 and it is now 2020 and my truck is going strong! I haven't had to do anything major on my truck-just normal wear and tear stuff . The only complaint I have about my truck is the low mileage then I get. Only 13 miles per gallon. Other than that, I love my truck!

Trailblazer

For a 2005, with many miles, it's been a very good car. We bought it used in 2017 to pull our camper. We've replaced a few things and it has been very reliable. It is a very comfortable ride and I feel safe driving it.

Great Truck

We bought this truck in 2005 and we still have never had any issues. Only normal maintenance. It still looks like new. We have driven it many places and it never let us down. My wife love the truck. Lots of room.

Solid and Reliable

I own a 2005 Trailblazer and can only say it is a shame Chevrolet has discontinued this model. It is as solid and reliable a vehicle you can possibly imagine. I see tons of these vehicles on the road and receive offers from time time to time asking if I wish to sell my Trailblazer. I have well over 200,000 miles on it and I expect many more.

Electrical issues

The vehicle seems to blow a lot of fuses, bulbs, and sensors. While they are an easy fix, a fuse to an auxiliary power outlet should not blow 4 times when the outlet is rarely even used! I've also replaced several ignition coils, headlights, brake lights, fog lamps, and other things. Overall, with all of the nickel and diming, I think that GM really means "Got Money?"

Dependable

I have a 2005 trailblazer with 151,000 miles. Always starts up for me. Haven't had to put take off money into it since I bought it two years ago. Rides very comfortably. Never at a loss for power. Straight six cylinder engine, I can never find a vehicle with a straight 6, I was happy to find this one.

Love at First Sight

I LOVE my Chevy Trailblazer. It’s a dependable vehicle, roomy, but not so big that the gas mileage is out of hand. Handles great in the inclement weather and has great four wheel capabilities. The first time I drove a Chevy Trailblazer was seven years ago and I was in love from that moment.

Trailbummer

This vehicle has had ongoing problems from our 1st encounter, and CHEVY would do nothing to remedy. Our gas guage goes out about every 10,000 miles, a 300 dollar replacement, and you replace or your always running out of gas. The other ongoing problem is headlight go out and have to replace 40 dollar sensor once a year, once again CHEVY, don't give a dam. Stuck with a piece of crap forever !!!

Chevy Trailblazer

We bought this vehicle used with 15,000 miles on it. The dealer told us we could get 300,00 miles out of it. This has been one of the best cars we have had. Over 165,000 miles and it still runs smoothly.
