2004 Chevy TrailBlazer EXT Review
Price Estimate: $1,056 - $1,711

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Class-leading engine power, soft highway ride, room for seven, extensive features list, simple controls.
Cons
- Skittish handling around corners, numb steering, generic interior design, low-grade interior materials.
What’s new
Power-adjustable pedals, a DVD-based navigation system, automatically locking doors and XM Satellite Radio are new options this year. Additionally, the instrument panel now sports a freshened monochromatic look. The North Face Edition package gets unique 17-inch wheels standard, while LT models get a new optional 17-inch wheel design.
Edmunds says
Strong drivetrains, loads of room inside and a long features list make this an attractive family vehicle, but the cheap interior materials and iffy handling keep it from gaining our full recommendation.

Poor Person's Suburban
3.5 out of 5 starsJohn, 10/29/2008
2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT LT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
The Trailblazer EXT is a nice cut and paste effort from the General. The exterior styling is decent, yet the interior looks cheap and somewhat tossed together with little care or concern for fit and finish. It drives relatively well although it seems a little dis-connected from the road in the steering department. The brakes are mushy. It feels like the truck is stumbling over itself … especially if you need to stop quickly. Don't get me wrong, even with all my criticism, I really do love the truck. It's roomy, the family loves it, it's cooler than a minivan, it has 4X4 for our Canadian winters, towing capability and lastly it is a smooth and comfortable ride. A poor man's Suburban.

2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT LT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
I thought I would try GM again after many years of imports....what a mistake!. I have had this Trailblazer for 14 months, bought it with 39,000 miles. I have had over $1000 in repairs- window regulator, O2 sensor, other,various emissions work, interior panels loose, weather stripping loose, leather wears poorly. I am very disappointed with the quality. I do like the space, 3rd row of … seats and towing capacity.

2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT LT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
I hate my 2004 EXT. It has a real
cheap feeling to the interior. I don't
feel safe when driving in it. The doors
feel like they are going to fall off
they are so light.

2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT LT 4WD 4dr SUV (4.2L 6cyl 4A)
This Trailblazer XLT replaced my Ford
Exposition. More power and better fuel
mileage is a plus. Also has more cargo
room behind third row seats. Have
taken several long road trips (600
miles plus) and the ride was nice and
more comfortable than my Exposition. I
have also towed over 4,500 lb with no
trouble and plenty of power to spare.
