Chevy Trailblazer Review | 2002-2009 

These are the best budget 4X4 out there. Nowhere do you get more for your money.

We’ve had a Trailblazer for 7 years now and we hope that thing runs forever. This is the most “fun to drive” vehicle I’ve ever owned and other owners have said the same thing. GM just got everything right when they built these. Not to mention, I absolutely love the sound and feel of that straight 6.

I have an 07 gmc envoy denali trim. Mine has 202k miles. Motor works great still, no issues and no check light engine.

I have a 2008 chevy trailblazer Lt i love this truck it's been reliable when i got it. It had 70 thousand now it has 163 thousand i love it

Nice review, we owned a 2002 Chevy trailblazer that we put 250,000 miles on it and it still ran great when I sold it. It was the best vehicle that I have owned and I missed it after we sold it.

Just bought a 2004 LS with 129k miles. It runs and drives great so far and for 3200$ it was a steal

Consider this used Subarus cost much more than usually give head gasket problems around 150000! You would not believe what it cost to get those fixed. The 4.2 inline 6 is pretty much Bulletproof, Transmissions give problems because people don't change the fluid.

My '06 has over 165,000 miles on her, and so far she's doing just fine.

My mom is getting a new car and she’s giving me her trailblazer. It’s been in a garage it’s whole life and it has no rust and has been well maintained. I’m happy to get that thing for nothing

Your videos are awesome dude! Just purchased a 2004 Trailblazer in great shape

I bought my first generation blue Chevy Trailblazer LS in 2001 but is was the 2002 first and 20-years later is still looking good and running fairly well. Love this SUV. It has 179K with all originals with very little replacements parts with standard maintenance. It was the best buy ever for a single educator on a budget with sophisticated taste for a smooth ride, nice look and great on gas. What a blessing from God! Thank you, Lord for letting me pay it off over 16- years ago. A great car! A great buy for the money! I love driving it as much as my Chevy Avalanche 😇😇😇😇😇

I've got an 02 Envoy with 300,000 an O2 Trailblazer with 230.

Big thank you on the how to tuck down the back seats. Great review I have the same model.

I have an '06 with just over 260 hundred thousand miles and so far it has been good but the previous owner ran it into the ground so I've been building it up and honestly all that's left is a fuel pump and that stupid airbag sensor. I can see this running for a lot more years

I still own my 2002 Trailblazer 4x4.. Has 296,000 miles and running good...

My 06 has over 155,000 miles on her, and so far she's doing Awesome.

Have a 2005 LTZ down here in Ecuador. Had 2" lift kit installed. Has 128k on it. Runs smooth as glass. Very quiet. Roomy. Powerful engine. Very heavy guage chassis under the body. Feels heavy and solid. Interior plastic is so so. I recommend a 2006 or 2007 as they come with larger brakes(needed) and an upgraded engine via improved head design. The Traverse which replaced them in 2010 are inferior machines from what I here as they went to a 3.6 liter V-6 which had design flaws. In my opinion they are superb in what you get for the money. Nothing else compares in their price range.

My daily driver is a 2008 Trailblazer 4x4 LT. It's got 195k miles on it and it runs great! I keep it nice, upgraded the radio/speakers, and just left the rest stock. The I6 motor is smooooth! When I first got it, I legit wondered if the engine died at stop light because it was that smooth and quiet. I'm really hoping to keep it going for another ~7 years or so. My steering is much sharper than what's shown in the video, so not sure what's up with that. Maybe that particular one has some worn components or needs an alignment?

thanks for the video dude. cheers!

Im on my 2nd trailblazer, both being the 05 LS....the 2nd one was owned by one of those types that think since it comes with oil u never have to change it ...it was running on 3 of the 6 cylinders and needed a lot of attention when I bought it...the body was perfect though...after doing some work..coils, vvt solenoid and can positioning sensor and several oil changes to clean out the crap she runs great...I’ve put 45,000 hard miles on her and yes a lot of work such as water pump twice and cleaning throttle body etc...I know it’ll keep me on the road for along time..the engine still runs strong at 200,000 miles although the electronic everything has a hard time in the cold cold weather we get in the Midwest...I’ve replaced the entire front end on her after an accident that she survived somehow...the frame on these things are solid...it has the horsepower at take off and also plenty to tow...I’ve towed some heavy hauls at it’s max of 6,000lbs on the interstate and it handled it like a champ...they’re cheaply made but all around it’s a good truck and what I like about it...easy to work on...the front end steering knuckle etc is something else...the size with the upper ball joint located above the tire prevents the thing from having bigger tires on it but u can turn on a dime...I don’t like the lug size being an oddball making time replacement difficult and expensive...it’s stupid that chevy did that..

How Chevy transformed the Trailblazer from this to a subcompact crossover with two three cylinder engine options is mind blowing...not in a good way.

Traverse = Garbage compared to my 2003 Trailblazer 4x4 LTZ with 158k miles. I drive it every day. I bought it with 100k miles on it. Great SUV. I don't go off roading with it though. Just drive it normal in the city and haul my RC stuff in it.

I have a 2007 LT with just north of 125k on it. Good vehicle but unfortunately GM used cheap steal lines for fuel,brakes and transmission cooler so now I'm in the process of changing them all.

Great review! Very thorough and great details. Still have my SS. Sure wish they would bring that trim back for the new model.

Love these, we have a 2002 and a 2008!

I have 07 LS model. Just turned 231k miles and still going. Made some replacements last year brakes&rotors; bearings etc. Still going .... hope it continues. Nice review but missed the 2 things on passenger side under glovebox I just found 🙄 and not sure what they're for. was hoping for answer.

There are so many bad comments about the trailblazer like people say they are a p.o.s but I strongly disagree I have one and if they are so bad then how do basically all of them make it past 200-250k miles and still run strong mine only has 129k miles on it but she still runs very good I even saw a trailblazer with 451k miles and it had the original motor and transmission

I like the older trailblazer with the whole chrome bar going across the front

Is it unibody? Would be interesting to see the suspension underneath and to hear the suspension lift abilities

After 06 the 6 cylinder option went from 275 hp to 291 and v8 has 315 hp it’s same as Silverado on 5.3

The first generation Chevrolet Trail Blazer was launched in 2000 to 2009 for model years 2002 to 2009 in United States of America but in 2012 the Trail Blazer was launched for second generation in ASIA

I have a 05 Chevy trailblazer Lt that have 178000

Some of your info is wrong. You could get a 5.3 V8 in the short wheelbase. The 4.2 I6 motors had 291hp in the later years and did 0 to 60 in the 8 second range You could get them in 2wd and 4wd. The SS came in AWD

My GMC envoy

Hey Buddy, you gotta Cheap haircut with a Cheap jacket driving an Authentic Chevy!! Don't Ever call a Chevy Cheap when you're behind the wheel of an All American Legend!!!!

The only problem is the check engine lit will stay of in come back on l was lucky to pass inpicion in NJ?

fuel tank capacity

Is this stradman’s brother or something ?

1325 e jolly rd lansing mi 48910 2008 trailblazer

2:09 4wd and awd are not the same thing, tye ss had awd, the standard models (lt, ls, ltz) had rwd or 4wd

* 4 Speed auto, plus overdrive.

TrailBlazer is RWD or 4WD, Not AWD.

I have a 02 it got no power

I had two same problems. It's nice but very disappointed in general motors. Gutless. Suv

Hundreds of them all over Facebook and Craigslist for $1000 with blown head gaskets, bad ECU’s and broken transmissions....resale sucks and most of the people I know who are into cars, generally consider the 2000’s trailblazer an overall fail with most around today as P.O.S

They never change or fixed the problems. Junk. I have less problem s. With their full size chevy silverado truck s.

I had a 2005 LT. It was a total piece of Junk. Total, total and total Junk!

A lot of people call these a Failblazer.

I have the 06 4×4..I've had it 7 years and it is safe feeling great for almost any atmosphere that you want you still to this day can show up in style off and on road.. I have the white body grey trim around the bottom that sets off the look and my factory wheels.. Only complaint is the wheel bearing on both sides are not long lasting.. Cv axle as well.. Steering wheel sensor is faulty but the rest is solid.

dont give up ur day job. ur brothers doing donuts in a Bugatti

Show us the vehicle not your face.

These SUVs were complete junk period…. Next review….
