The trailblazer means a lot to me, it's the first car i drove and still driving it daily use. It's my dad's car and i drove it when i was 13 to the hospital when my dad had a heart attack and passed away. I can't give it up at any cost.

@jameswolfe1487 4 месяца назад

Amazing what a vehicle does for us eh? Not everyone has to like it. Just matters if it means something to you.

@jonatangonzalez1786 2 месяца назад

How many miles does it have ?

@astro9744 2 года назад

My parents took me home when I was born in this trailblazer, and now I am going to be driving that same trailblazer as my first vehicle, so much nostalgia and history I have had with this vehicle.

@Tregaskis47 Год назад

I have owned a 2002 Envoy and a 2008 Trailblazer...the 6 cyl engine was an award winning design that seems to basically run forever. Great cars even today. In my town in Northern California there are still dozens of TB and Envoy's running around.

Straight nostalgia. I grew up with GM vehicles, and the TrailBlazer has always been one of my personal favorite trucks. Great review and video. 5 stars!

Really loved the ending bit on the nostalgia of the car. I'm a 2002 baby and got a blue 2005 LS for my sixteenth birthday. It means so much to me, all the places and events I've taken it to. Still running strong into my junior year of college 40,000 miles later and still going strong.

@blackericdenice Год назад

I have a 2004 TB with 185k miles. I've own this truck sense 2008. It was getting 15.5 mpg when I bought it. The last 7 years it had been getting 14.3 mpg. I google 2004 Trailblazer bad mpg and someone said to change the map sensor. I bought one from Autozone $80 and my mpg has gone up from 14.3 to 15.5 to 16.5 and yesterday I got 18.56 mpg after 20 miles why drive. I didn't have a cel light and the truck was running fine. I will be uploading a video soon.

@joseCalderon1976 5 месяцев назад

My 2003 chevy trailblazer with 198k miles is still going strong. I take care of it. It's very reliable. Back when GM was marking good vehicles. I bought mine when it had 100k miles. I would never sell that vehicle. I get 17 mpg highway miles and about 16 miles per gallon combined. The engine and transmission are very good if you take care of them. I've had no issues finding regular parts for my trailblazer like radiator, brakes etc. Subscribed

I drive a 2003 GMC Envoy XL. Had it since 139,000 miles and it now has 250,000+miles. Still runs great and I love it. It's had some problems through the years, but nothing I haven't been able to fix myself. I would say the strongest component of these trucks is the motor. Very bullet proof.

@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885 Год назад

I'm at 278K and got the remans transmission, plus new suspension, and repair kit welding on the chassis and trailing arm mounts (I did my own tailgate repair that looks like stucco from all the polyurethane I used but it stopped the rust!) - along with all the standard TSB repairs over the years (actually two replacements of the fan clutch did not fix the AC since the dealer neglected to upgrade the PCM as per the TSB - instead the dealer noted the TSB was now outdated and so they decided not to do it - strange reasoning. Another dealer ex-mechanic said they ALWAYS upgraded the PCM when fixing the Air conditioner. haha.). I live in a cold state - so I can live without AC. The TB looks terrible - I fixed the rust but I just did a paint mess on the body - but as you say the "motor is the strongest component." So far the motor has held up. I'm hoping to get 500K out of the car. Unfortunately the CD player just started not working - seems to be a digital glitch. So not sure I want to get that fixed or replaced.... That's a big drag but I could just plug in a CD player via the 12 volt power somehow.

also have a 04 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT with the G80 Locker option, had it since 2009 with the 4.2L I6, bought it with 92000 miles and now it has 173800 miles and still running very smooth

I wish they would bring back that straight 6 because it's reliable, i literally just bought an '06 TrailBlazer LT, minty fresh, clean, no rust, not even any dents, and runs like a dream with a whopping 287,000 miles on it. It really is a testament to whatever it may be you have, as long as you take care of it, it'll take care of you. I'll do a video on it after i do my first 1k miles with it.

@nathanstiltner5759 Год назад

The first version this model on the dealer floor was the Oldsmobile Bravada. However, this was just as they announced the end of the Oldsmobile brand. Interestingly, in the one I saw in the dealership, the little compartment in the back trunk actually had an air compressor w/ hose for pumping up your tires. I still have my 02 Chevrolet TrailblazerLS. Still love it at 217K. Biggest complaint is that noisy plastic interior compare to the quietness of a Honda Pilot at 190K. But I've towed my father's garden tractor around just fine and it's always had enough power and speed to do everything I've asked of it. And it's 4WD system has never disappointed.

Another Plus for the rear trunk window is being able to carry standard 8 ft Lumber you can let it stick out and then bungee cord the window

@RetroCaptain 10 месяцев назад

Keep the transmission and transfer case fluids fresh. They were not built super tough!! Driven gently and regular checkups for electrical problem resolving and fliud renewal they will last a long time. The engine is really tough, the transmission is teeny inside and easy to break. Adding a cooler really adds life to it.

Man, those Trailblazers are great to buy budget wise. Also the 4.2 inline six is bulletproof just like the 3800 Series that Buick gave us. Still looking forward for an Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade that will be in way worse condition, way more milage for probably more money but the 5.3 & LQ9 6.0 get you nearly the same gas milage. Only complaint about those Trailblazers.

Zero to 60 @ 5.5 sec, & 1/4 mile of 13.8sec @ 99mph That 4200 is only 0.6 of a second slower than the SS model $ giving away 100 hp to it. But that 4200 straight 6 will long outlive those v8's I don't think that is slow for a 4500 lb vehicle. You can buy a used 6 cyl for 1000 to 4500 bucks Now Go price a SS model. EXPENSIVE...
