Chevrolet TrailBlazer - Overview

The Chevrolet TrailBlazer was introduced in 2002, when it won the North American Truck of the Year award. It rides on a truck-based platform. For 2006, the TrailBlazer got a mid-cycle refresh with interior and exterior modifications. Since Chevrolet cancelled a 2008 redesign, it is unknown whether the TrailBlazer will continue after the 2009 model year.

The TrailBlazer tends to rank near the bottom of its class because of its sub-par handling, low-quality interior and poor fuel economy. Go for the high-end SS model if you want solid performance and a V8 engine. Otherwise, look elsewhere for a more refined driving experience and high-quality interior.
