The vehicle stop running the first day at only 29m and had to be towed. Problem with the heated mirrors, the 4X4 system, the engine makes funny noises, all kind of little problems you should not expect before 4-5 years are there after only a few months. Very poor service at the dealer.

Not a bad ride but I find myself "strapped" in and confined inside the driver seat. There's no space to put anything inside. It's a lower ride than the Explorer. I haven't had to use 4 wheel drive yet. The sound system is excellent. If you have kids or use it for carpooling - the back has it's own climate controls, as does the passenger front.

Bought my TrailBlazer used with roughly 45k miles on it, have put 40k on it so far and love it, replaced the tires with some aggressive all terrain tires and performs well in snow and light mud. Haven't had any problems with it except for maintenance which is to be expected. 4.2 liter engine is a real work horse, regularly pulling a 5800 lbs boat and still getting 15mpg on the expressway. Somethings could be improved but every car/truck could be. Interior is a bit plain compared to other suv's. But I would take reliability and performance over looks any day. I would gladly buy another and intend to. To the people who complain about the gas mileage, when you bought it the sticker said the gas mileage

I received my Chevy Trailblazer for Christmas in 2004, and I love it. I was driving a Mitisubishi Montero Sport and I thought I was in love with it, but when I drove the Trailblazer to the end of the road, I knew this was my destiny. I love it. I love it. I love it. When I drive it, I feel like I am sitting on top of the world. It is great. I named it "Blaze"

If you're tall and are tired of not fitting into anything, the Trailblazer is a godsend. At 6'5", I fit perfectly. My knees don’t hit the dash or the steering wheel. Drives very smooth and quietly, handles better than the original review states. Plus it's more attractive than the competitors.
