The 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a tempting purchase with prices averaging under four grand, but add the cost of fuel and maintenance into the equation and it’s a whole new story. It’s a pretty good extended mid-size SUV, but the cost of ownership may have you considering a compact.
The Good
The extended model is roomy with a powerful V8 engine and cushy seating, and it’s priced to move.
The Bad
Handling can be a bit unwieldy, refueling is pricey, and, as reliable as the powertrain may be, you should expect to spend a lot of money on little fixes here and there.
Is the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer a Good Used SUV?
- Overall Rating 7/10 – The Trailblazer offers plenty to like, but is ultimately just another mid-size SUV from a model year with more mid-size SUV options than anyone needs.
- Interior, Comfort & Cargo 8/10 – The only complaint regarding the interior is the cheap-feeling trim. Other than that, this is a bedroom on wheels.
- Reliability 7/10 – Expect the transmission and engine to go the distance, but prepare for lots of little fixes for various switches, racks, hoses, belts, and gaskets.
- Safety 7/10 – Onboard safety tech may be dated by now, but it’s adequate for a twenty year old SUV.
- Gas Mileage 5/10 – Even by the standards of a 2004 mid-size SUV, the Trailblazer is outmatched by more efficient models from Toyota, Ford, and Honda.
- Value 7/10 – The sticker price is pretty low, but the day-to-day cost of ownership is pretty high.

It has truly been reliable even though it is a used vehicle.
It gets me to where I need to go without any problems at this point.
Gen S
Not a gas guzzler. Despite the fact of putting gas into the tank I get great gas mileage.
I recently purchased my 04 Trailblazer with only 120,000 and for only $2500. It's great on gas mileage, very reliable, comfortable bucket seats and so clean it could be brand new. I have noticed one issue. When I pump gas into the tank, the gas pump shuts off automatically every dollar or so. Very annoying when I'm trying to fill my tank and it takes 10 minutes.
Dolores C
How it build. How it the motor.
Right now it ok. I do not any problem. Running good. It a beautiful. The color is green. Big, it for 5 person.
Colleen S
I think the fact that it is an 04 and runs like brand new.
It is a wonderful automobile. Its interior is a little beat up but it still runs like new. The leather seats have ripped and the door handles have broken. But other than regular maintenance it is 100% reliable. It is also not so bad on gas. I use it running for work, kids, shopping, outings and fill up once a week.
Bonnie J
It's a 2004. Most people don't realize it's that old, since body and interior in great shape.
Purchased in 2008 with about 34,000 miles. Has proven to be dependable. No major issues with it. Gas gauge does not work, just set odometer. Looks good. Interior clean. Have about 129,000 miles. Have not found newer model that I like as well. Has room to haul things. Fits 5 people. Like the separate window opening in tailgate, which newer models do not have.
Eloise M
Dependable and still rides like new. Best vehicle I have ever owned
It is very reliable and has not cost a fortune to own. No major repairs in 14 years, only regular maintenance, tires, etc.I am going to be very sad if I need to trade it in.
Mindy K
My most favorite detail of the trailblazer is the power everything.
Since I have had my Chevy trailblazer it has been my most favorite vehicle. I have had minor problems wrong with it but I take well care of my cars. We took it on our very first trip since we got it and we had a hiccup but got it home and started working on it.
Ron B
My TrailBlazer is Very Reliable. It's a Sharp Looking Vehicle.
Roomy.Strong.Like a Bull in the Snow. Good Looking vehicle. Cons: Not good on gas mileage 14 Miles to the Gallon.
Negative Owner Reviews
Crista K
Leather seats and plenty of room
No air. Horrible gas mileage. 270k miles, but still runs. Wouldn't be so bad if people I got it from took care of it.
Elizabeth R
Unless it's a newer model do not waste your money.
I like the 4 wheel drive but it has a lot of electrical problems and something is always going wrong with it.
Danielle K
It has a lot of engine issues.
This vehicle is a very nice size and ours has the DVD player. Those were two reasons as to why we chose this vehicle. I would never tell anyone to buy one, we have had so many engine and 4WD issues. I don't recommend a trailblazer a all.
Brian C
Details of my 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer.
It goes through the same parts over and over, 4WD doesn't work, suspension sucks. It has a lot of room but should have more options available and should be 4 on the floor instead of push button 4WD the vacuum actuated 4WD system has a lot of issues in all Chevys.
Leah H
It is not a reliable car.
My car sometimes turns the air conditioning or the heat on to the highest setting, turns the volume on the radio all the way up, has a rusty undercarriage, and the lights turn on when I am not driving it randomly which kills my car battery.
Aaron L
Terrible electrical issues and fuel leaks. Also, chevy transmissions s**k a*s.
Chevy sucks compared to ford, but chevy is #2 overall. Trailblazers just completely s**k a*s.
Cheryl O
This is not a vehicle that I am comfortable with.
It makes a horrid sound and the air does not work. I do not like the color or the make and model. I can not afford to buy another or to repair this vehicle. I am not sure what is wrong with the vehicle. I really do not have too much more to say about this vehicle.
Chris C
Very reliable and great family vehicle if you have kids.
I love the car itself I would just love if it had a quicker pick up speed very reliable. The Jeep itself is a great family car if you have kids fits all 3 of my kids car seats with no issues. Love that the maintenance on the vehicle is not very expensive very affordable.
What Do Critics Say About the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer?
Consumer Reports found the Trailblazer roomy and comfortable, praising the third row’s hiproom for actually seating three adults. Slow acceleration, lousy fuel economy, wimpy brakes and sloppy handling all earned red marks.
Kelley Blue Book users report that the Trailblazer has proven reliable over the years, and the roomy interior is great for the family. But the consensus is that the acceleration is pretty weak, and interior materials feel cheap.
Edmunds liked the strong engine performance and comfortable ride, they didn’t like the numb steering and low-grade interior materials.
What Common Problems Does the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Have?
Electrical issues make up an overwhelming majority of the problems the 2004 Trailblazer has on file with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, comprising 780 of 1,367 total complaints. Issues range from glitchy instrument clusters to throttle body failure.
There are 125 complaints on file for the fuel system. This is a lower rate of incidence than the electrical issues, but potentially more worrying, with reports of cracked fuel necks and busted check valves. This can lead to fire hazards at the worst, and wasted fuel at the least.
Powertrain complaints are thankfully scarce, with more electrical issues on file than mechanical issues. If you’re having trouble shifting or you’re losing power on the road, check the throttle body before you assume that the transmission is shot.
In total, the Trailblazer has just two recalls on file with the NHTSA. But, with so many complaints having been registered, maybe the SUV could use a few more recalls.
How Long Will the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Last?
Drivers typically report that the Trailblazer is still running strong well past the 200,000 mile mark. You should expect to get around 250,000 miles on the odometer before the more serious problems start to stack up. Under 200,000 miles, the concern is less with the engine and transmission and more with recurring electrical issues.
RepairPal estimate an annual maintenance cost around $524, with the most expensive common fix being a new timing chain tensioner, starting at around $1,952. At that price it might make more sense to scrap the Trailblazer and buy another vehicle.
Victoria H
I have had a few problems with it that I had to put money out on In to get it fixed. Other than that yes it is a reliable vehicle
Michael W
No major problem. Just usual maintenance. This car was driven only around the close area. No major road trips until I moved from Phoenix to Oregon in 2012. Still no problems.
Maureen D
My trailblazer does not have any problems with it. I actually got new tires and new parts and upgraded it to make it look good
Linda C
No it is not a reliable vehicle. It has many problems with the transmission and power steering function
Cheryl T
Very reliable. Again, few 'problems' and all in all great performance particularly considering the age and mileage
Christopher M
In my opinion the Chevy Trailblazer is a low maintenance vehicle. As long as the routine check ups are done and any small problems are taken care of immediately, there shouldn't be any major issues
How Is the Technology?
Entertainment technology in the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer is pretty generous considering the model year. Entry level models come with a CD player, and some models even have a DVD player in the back.
Safety technology is good for an SUV this old, but dated by modern standards. Anti-lock brakes and full airbags were about as fancy as it got in 2004, but these days that’s what passes for adequate.
Is the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer a Good Value?
The 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer is a pretty good value for what you’re getting and for the vehicle’s longevity. If you’re buying an entry level LS with around 160,000 miles on the odometer, that will typically list for around $3,857, and will usually last another hundred thousand miles.
Be that as it may, maintenance and fuel costs might eventually outweigh what you saved on the sticker price. For that reason a used Trailblazer is great for a weekend getaway vehicle, but pretty lousy as a daily driver.
What are the Different Models of the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer?
The Trailblazer is available in two trim levels, the base LS and the high-end LT. Both trims are available in standard two-row and extended three-row models.
The entry-level LS features:
- Heater and defogger
- Premium cloth bucket seats
- CD player
- Manual dual-zone air conditioning
With the top-of-the-line LT you’re adding:
- Heated mirrors
- Remote keyless entry
- Fog lights
LS
275 HP 18-18 MPG
LT
275 HP 18-18 MPG
EXT LS
275-290 HP 17-17 MPG
EXT LT
275-290 HP 17-17 MPG
What Engines Come In the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer?
- In the standard Trailblazer you’ll find a 4.2L inline-six delivering 275 horsepower and 275 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is paired to a 4-speed automatic and configured in rear wheel drive, averaging 16/21 miles to the gallon.
- Extended Trailblazers can be equipped with a 5.3L Vortec V8 delivering 290 horsepower and 325 lb.-ft. of torque. This engine is four wheel drive capable and paired with a 4-speed automatic, averaging 16/20 miles to the gallon.
What Colors Does the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Come In?
How Comfortable Is the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer?
The 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer is about as comfortable as it gets outside of the luxury market. You’ve got about 58 inches of hiproom which should be enough to seat most adults three to a row. And if not, you’ve got so much floorspace you could throw some pillows down and take a nap.
Suspension complaints are remarkably scarce, with just 14 on file with the NHTSA. This means that the shocks and struts have held up pretty well over the years, so you should expect the ride to be as smooth now as it was twenty years ago.
How Much Storage Space Does the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Have?
In a standard Trailblazer you’ve got 43.7 cubic feet of cargo space, 80.1 with the seats down. In the extended model, 23.4 with the seats up, and 107.4 with the seats down. Pretty much anything you need to move, if it doesn’t require a box truck or a moving van, you can move it in an extended Trailblazer.
What Are the Differences Between Years?
The 2004 Trailblazer was the third year of the first generation for the nameplate, graduating from an S-10 trim level to its own line.
2002: The Trailblazer launched with four wheel drive, a detachable towing hitch, and independent front suspension.
2003: Chevy upgraded the gas tank to 22 gallons for 2003, and the EXTs were equipped with child-seat anchors.
2004: The LTZ trim level was dropped in 2004, streamlining the list down to the standard and extended LS and LT models.
2005: Chevrolet gave the Trailblazer a fresh new look for 2005, revising the badging and adding some chrome accents along the interior. The seats were improved, as well.
2006: A new sound insulation system helped to address road noise complaints, and the front and rear fascias received a visual redesign.
2007: Dual zone air conditioning became a standard in the LT trim level, and fuel efficiency was improved by 5%.
How Does the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer Compare to the Competition?
The Toyota 4Runner frequently tops best-of-2004 lists. It’s more fuel efficient than the Trailblazer and delivers comparable performance with the 4.7L engine cranking out 245 horsepower and 320 lb.-ft. of torque. It also costs about three thousand dollars more, on average.
A 2004 Ford Explorer lacks an extended model to compete with a V8 Trailblazer, but it shows comparable performance and longevity as a standard Trailblazer, costs about the same, and runs a little cheaper, averaging an extra mile or two to the gallon.
A Trailblazer might be the most affordable extended mid-size SUV available on the market today. But, if you’re looking for something that will be cheap to maintain and refuel, you might want to reconsider whether you need an extended SUV in the first place.

Do Owners Recommend the 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer?
Lauren J
Yes my Chevy trailblazer is a great car. It is one of the best vehicles I have had in a long time. Love it
Sarah L
Excellent Have had no major problems. Great driving vehicle plus nice riding. Easy to enter & exit.
Rachel C
Yes, I would recommend it to a lot of people. It’s very good to take on trips and it can hold a lot of stuff. You can also sit out on the tailgate and it’s 4 wheel drive. Very good on gas and travels.
Justin D
The trailblazerI have is currently not a good vehicle I am having trouble with the transmission as well as the power steering function
Cindy B
It has been a great vehicle! It's only recently I have started to have repairs needed, and I attribute it much more to the age of my car and number of miles driven versus the make and model.
Sebastian K
Yes. The Chevy Trailblazer is a good vehicle. A very dependable and reliable, low maintenance car. So far I have no complaints about my vehicle
Owner Reviews
Sandy on January 10, 2024
My Trailblazer has been very dependable!
I am the original owner of my ‘04 TrailBlazer and it has nothing less than a joy to own! I love my vehicle! The biggest problems I had with my SUV other than regular upkeep/maintenance was the Ball-bearing joints needing to be replaced. I just recently had to get my Power Steering replaced & something else (maybe a Control Arm) that cost me a pretty penny. But the engine has been great & it drives very well for a older car. Me & my TB are loyal to one another. I always & only burned mid to premium grade gas from higher end gas stations which I’m believe helped me to not have any major engine problems. I hv the LT trim & it is fully loaded - sun roof I had installed & came with DVD player with two headphones. My windshield wipers come on automatically when it detects a sprinkle of water. I have ABS breaks & the option of 2-wheel or 4-wheel drive for much better traction in the snow. Thank you CHEVROLET for such nice vehicle ❤️🚘🚗❤️ It would be great if - GM was to choose up to 5-10 ORIGINAL OWNERS 🙋♀️ of their Trailblazers (mine is a 2004) and do a COMPLIMENTARY makeover for those of us who has kept their SUVs all these years & still drive them regularly to this day. S/N: In my area where I live - there are 3-4 other Trailblazers that look just like mine same color & trim and they all still look good 🖤🩶 Great job GM!
Dale B on April 3, 2021
That has been very reliable.
I like that is rides very smooth. I like that it has third row seats. I dislike the fuel mileage it gets..
TJ S on April 2, 2021
The good and downfall of the 2004 trailblazer ext.
Drives great seats 7. Power seats,windows and locks. Dual heat/ac 4 wheel drive. Abs brakes auto headlights. Am/FM CD player. Drivers seat has extra back support that you control with a switch. . Downfalls: Could have a little more cargo room when the 3rd row seats are up. Trailblazers are bad about having to have lower ball joints replaced. And the heating/cooling dash controls in some lose high setting after being several years old.
Mindy K on April 1, 2021
My most favorite detail of the trailblazer is the power everything.
Since I have had my Chevy trailblazer it has been my most favorite vehicle. I have had minor problems wrong with it but I take well care of my cars. We took it on our very first trip since we got it and we had a hiccup but got it home and started working on it.
Jamie M on March 29, 2021
The most important thing is that it rides smooth, and is comfortable to drive.
I like that it is big like a truck, but it drives like a car. It does use a little too much gasoline in my opinion, and could have some better gas mileage. But, I suppose it is good for an older vehicle. I also wish it had a cabin air filter.
Melissa F on March 29, 2021
Keep up with routine maintenance. To get the most years out of it.
I love my vehicle. It drives very well especially in the snow. Besides the high mileage, maintenance cost very happy. Would by this model again.
Misty D on March 23, 2021
Few issues, but overall a good car
I do love this car, and I know it is a bit older, but it has had several issues come up seemingly one after another, transmission, radiator, control arm, one of the actuators for the air conditioning, etc. But otherwise it is a good running car. Not too bad on gas and it's a comfortable, roomy SUV for my family of 6. A little more storage/trunk space would be nice for longer trips. But overall we've been very happy with this vehicle.
Cecilia S on March 20, 2021
I like the interior of the vehicle and especially that space.
I like the features from the inside. My family fits very well and comfortable, the only thing that I do not like is that it takes a lot of gas to run it in a long trip.
Andrea T on March 19, 2021
Reliable family vehicle with lots of space
Good for the winter has 4 wheel, lots of space strong vehicles. Gas guzzler spent like 50 every biweekly to fill up can be more in the winter time and depending on gas prices. Great for a family of 7-8 people large trunk room 3rd row seats. 3rd seat can be fold to make more space in the trunk
Aaron L on March 16, 2021
Terrible electrical issues and fuel leaks. Also, chevy transmissions s**k a*s.
Chevy sucks compared to ford, but chevy is #2 overall. Trailblazers just completely s**k a*s.
james d on March 16, 2021
It has some odd noises on the dash when the heating or air conditioner is turned on or off
Like the all wheel drive. It has a tow package which I need. I don't like the rather rough ride.
Elizabeth R on March 14, 2021
Unless it's a newer model do not waste your money.
I like the 4 wheel drive but it has a lot of electrical problems and something is always going wrong with it.
Danielle J on March 10, 2021
The most important thing others should know about my car is that it is a reliable car because it is 14 years old.
I like that the trailblazer is a midsize car. The number of seats is also great. I dislike that Chevy does not make this type of car any more.
Patricia W on March 10, 2021
This is my vehicle. I have over 200.000 miles on it. I put all miles on it.
Great ac, transportation and carries all my work tools. I scuba dive and fish and it carries all that gear.
Diana S on February 27, 2021
Performs like a truck but rides like a car.
Although my vehicle is old, it is a great car I am very sad that Chevrolet is not making this anymore. I am very safe. I keep the maintenance up on it and it still runs like a champ.
Ronald M on February 24, 2021
It is a great dependable midsize SUV.
No complaints. It continues to ride very good. Very few minor problems. Great SUV! I would love to have the newest model, but it is not sold here in the united states.
Frances M on February 19, 2021
Quality, low maintenance vehicle for all occasions.
I would say that my biggest problem with my Chevy trailblazer is the gas mileage. The seats are comfortable and, overall, I've had to do very little maintenance on it in the last year. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone, as long as they can afford the gas.
Aaron r on February 11, 2021
Very dependable vehicle, needs just normal upkeep
It's a very good vehicle, just needs normal maintenance, haven't had any major issues so far
Rachel L on February 9, 2021
Chevy Trailblazer: The Right Vehicle For You
My vehicle hasn't had many issues and is extremely reliable. There is plenty of room for the whole family and I feel safe inside of it. The only issue I have had is that my back right window will not roll up or down but that's an easy fix and it's an older vehicle so I'm just thankful there aren't any issues. I would 100% recommend this vehicle to anyone looking to buy. Cold A.c., sunroof, plenty of space, and it drives very well. I am extremely pleased with it.
Michelle S on February 9, 2021
Lots and lots of room for whatever.
My trailblazer has been amazingly dependable, with lots of room for the kids and grandkids and still have room for groceries or whatever else need be. It's also extremely comfortable. Much more comfortable than my newer year model car. The only thing I don't like is the gas mileage.
Paula A on February 9, 2021
The seats are heated and leather.
I love that the drive is smooth and haven't really had any mechanical issues since purchasing it. Like space in trunk and back seat.
Theresa C on January 31, 2021
Overall good car and fairly easy to work on if necessary
Seats comfortably a family of five, gas mileage is good, I like that it comes with a tow package since I do haul things from time to time.
Ryan D on January 27, 2021
Very reliable and dependable SUV that has 4 Wheel Drive
My vehicle is very reliable and I love it. I can always depend on it. The A/C is always freezing cold the second I turn it on. The acceleration is perfect. It's quiet yet loud. I would rate my car a 100/5. It works amazing with 4 wheel drive. I can drive in any weather condition and I can depend on it.
Anna A on January 26, 2021
It drives good and it is a safe vehicle.
It has 4 wheel drive which is good in rain or snow. You can carry large items. It sits up high so your visibility is good.
Carol G on January 22, 2021
Dependable multi-functional SUV that is very comfortable and drives like a car.
Very easy to get in and out of. Great stepping bar and door opens wide. Seats are very comfortable. Have a hugging effect and great height for bending of the knees. Great turning radius. Making parking and tight spot maneuvering easy. Back seats fold down easy making a lot of space. The seats also can be only half fold down leaving room for a passenger. Front seats recline almost flat. 180 thousand miles and no major problems. Runs very smooth at times I can't tell if it is running. Has small hidden compartments for storage. Air and heat control for back seat with cup holders.
Earl G on January 21, 2021
It has truly been reliable even though it is a used vehicle.
It gets me to where I need to go without any problems at this point.
Courtney H on January 19, 2021
The reliability of it
I'm making payments on a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer right now and I love it. Got it October 30th,2020 with a little over 133,000 miles and it's such a good car. Had to recently get a tune up, but other then that in my honest opinion it's a good vehicle to have. It drives smooth and is definitely good for the trails
Becky R on January 16, 2021
The one thing you should know about the trailblazer is it is a very reliable car.
The Chevy trailblazer is a great car. The four-wheel-drive is reliable to help you get around in the winter. I have had very little issues over the 14 years I have had the car. It is too bad they have quit making the Chevy trailblazer.
Nicholas H on January 15, 2021
Everyone should know that my SUV will run as long as I keep the maintenance up.
I like that I have 3 row seating. I like it has heated seats. I dislike I does not have tinted windows.
neal e on January 12, 2021
Excellent choice for a vehicle, has everything anyone would ever need.
I like everything about my vehicle. I plan to restore it next year.
Melissa W on January 7, 2021
With all the miles it has on the car, we have never really had major repairs.
It is roomy inside. I have had it since it was brand new and it is still running. It is a good driving car. It is very comfortable seating.
Diane H on January 4, 2021
Comfortable and versatile. Use the back only heated seat frequently.
I love the comfort and seating 7 has been a huge plus. The versatility of loading and using the hitch replaces the need for a truck. With close to 200, 000 miles have recently had a few major repairs. Power steering rack and pinion, tie rods and wheel bearings. One ignition coil went bad and the was oil on it so cleaned and replaced all head gaskets. Just about to replace shocks.
Dale R on January 4, 2021
Never lets you down but the most important thing is it drives like a dream
The best car it drives like dream and so comfortable
Shawn L on January 2, 2021
It is very spacious and rides very smooth.
The vehicle is ok for the most part. It has a very good motor and transmission, but the wiring problem in my Chevrolet trailblazer is terrible. The windows roll down on their own and I have to wait for my gauges to start working for me to roll it up! It locks and unlocks on Its own, and on top of all that I cannot even put a radio in there because of the wiring problem.
Angela F on January 1, 2021
It can get you safely through a tough winter and has a wonderful towing ability.
We rely on our Trailblazer to get us through tough Michigan winters and to tow our bass boat at least once a week. It has been very reliable, and I feel safe in this vehicle.
Dana H on December 25, 2020
How well it works for me.
Reliable as long as well taken care of and maintenance done. Feel safe and secure in it and comfortable to drive. Keeps children safe and lots of room. I often go on weekend trips for travel socket with 3 kids and it holds all needed items and the kids have room to travel well. Plenty of plugs to charge devices. Easy to see out of.
Annie B on December 23, 2020
It is tough and roughed. Even after an accident.
It is durable, well built only minor problems such as wear and tear in the last few years since ownership.
Brian R on December 23, 2020
The electronics are shaky, which I'm told is common with it. The doors lock by themselves sometimes so you can't ever leave your keys in it.
I've had it since 2006 and it's been very good to me. I moved my entire home in it over the period of a month, even a king size bed. I did have to replace a transmission about 4 years ago but other than that, it's done as well as I could have hoped.
Laurie D on December 23, 2020
It is 4 wheel drive and heated seats.
I love my trailblazer. It is very roomy, has heated leather seats and 4 wheel drive. Plenty of room for long road trips. The gas mileage is pretty good as well. 6 cylinder engine has plenty of power.
Betty T on December 12, 2020
It is dependable and comfortable to drive. I love it.
My trailblazer is very comfortable to drive. I wish it got better gas mileage.
Christine A on December 10, 2020
Love my 2004 reliable trailblazer.
Very reliable and feels quite safe. Air conditioner and heater both work well. Roomy and comfortable. Automatic windows. I have owned this car for fifteen months and I have never had engine problems. Poor gas mileage and wish I had automatic door opener. Seat warmers would be nice. Gas cap not attached.
Juan A on December 8, 2020
My car is the perfect-sized car; of a medium build.
This vehicle is of a silverish-gray color, with an average size. This size is perfect exactly for this reason, being good to have passengers and things with leftover space. However, there is a tiny complaint I have, which may be specific to only my car. The little television on the car's ceiling no longer works.
Yana S on December 3, 2020
My cars performance kejdld
My trailblazer has very good performance because it's four by four and it runs very well in the winter
cal e on November 21, 2020
That it does get good gas mileage
I love that we can go as a family in same vehicle. Also it has heated seats but not crazy about leather seats
Leticia B on November 20, 2020
Easy, comfort vehicle for a large family.
It drives comfortably. Enough space for me and my kids. Kinda shakes a tad bit but that is because it needs an oil change. Color of the car is grey and I could not have asked for a better car. It would be better if it had a touch screen so it could be easier but it is fine the way it is.
Evan Schall on November 16, 2020
Very Great!!!
Love it. Very reliable and powerful, comfortable, very roomy, back seats turn into a bed, and it can throw you back in your seat if you give her some gas! Only problems I have is the battery dies way too quick when the car is off and the radio or something is on, I mean that is with any car really. But other wise if you want a dependable used SUV for a family or just a daily driver, I highly recommend this beautiful rig! I have 127,8xx on mine and runs very great, Get about 17MPG city, and 22 highway.
Harry B on November 15, 2020
It is a great family vehicle.
I love the fact that it 4x4. I love the spacious interior. I love the options that came on this vehicle. I love the mileage for being a 4x4.

It is very reliable! My car has over 100K miles on it and it still gets me where I need to go. It is a very good car for me.
My Trailblazer is very reliable. I am comfortable driving it and it holds so much stuff. I have no complaints about it at all.

There are no backseat air conditioner vents.
Smooth ride, turns on a dime, all leather seats, automatic transmission, great accessories. Only complaint is that they do not make them anymore.

Plenty of foot space and storage.
The car has comfortable seats and plenty of room for family. It seats 5 people and has a decent size trunk area for groceries and carry other items.

It's not a taxi so do not treat it like one.
Love the size. Love how dependable it has been. I am beginning to have normal problems with my Chevy. It has 105,000 miles. I do not want to give it up, but if I continue to have lots of car repairs I might have to.
