A-blazin Grace

Always dreamed of the Tahoe-like vehicle,especially with four growing kids. It is nice alternative to the expensive,gas guzzling family of SUV's. Looks great,came with a lot of standards, i.e. tow hitch, full size spare tire,CD&Cassette player.Love the sound system features,the front/rear air controls, auto rear windows,easy folding seats and more importantly, roomy rear seating that "real size" adults can appreciate when going out with friends without feeling cramped.The DVD player is ‘a must’ for long trips with the kids, but does get in the way for rear viewing.Sharp looking,fun driving, graceful, practical.Perfect for a family who has outgrown the van.

Blazing a trail with the Trailblazer

My wife and I purchased a 2003 Trailblazer Ext over the Ford Explorer, Dodge Durango and their respective bigger siblings. We needed a vehicle that would comfortably pull a trailer and have 3 rows of usable seats that that would fit easily into our garage. The Trailblazer felt better, seemed more solid and we like the looks better than the others. It has a 3rd seat that we can and do use for our two older daughters. We are impressed with the smooth in-line 6 and know that when we go pull a trailer, we will have more than enough power and torque. The ride is smooth and comfortable.

Avoid this Vehicle and Chevrolet!!

Purchased this vehicle and have never achieved higher than 15MPG despite window sticker of 21MPG. Have been to the dealership twice for inspection and they claim nothing is wrong. Chevrolet refused to address my concern indicating that their engineers do not expect this engine to achieve better than 12-14MPG. So why do they advertise 21MPG?!?!? Will not stand behind their products or customers. Go buy a Toyota, at least you will know what you are buying.

Nothing But Trouble

We have had this car for 2 1/2 years now and it has been in the shop 12 times. The last visit was for a chirping noise when accelerating and the dealership said they called the GM headquarters and talked to the engineers and that the problem was "normal" and couldn't be fixed. Have also had electrical problems, preset radio stations disappearing, brake pads needing to be replaced, rotors fixed, and many other recalls. I think 12 times in for problems in only 2 1/2 years is excessive.

I love my Trailblazer! We had some inconviences in the beginning because of recalls, but it was worth it. Besides, you have to accept that when a new model has just started production.
