Not a bad running vehicle. Had alot of problems at first with burning oil.Turned out to be the oil pan and a few other things.

Trailbummer

This vehicle has had ongoing problems from our 1st encounter, and CHEVY would do nothing to remedy. Our gas guage goes out about every 10,000 miles, a 300 dollar replacement, and you replace or your always running out of gas. The other ongoing problem is headlight go out and have to replace 40 dollar sensor once a year, once again CHEVY, don't give a dam. Stuck with a piece of crap forever !!!

Electrical issues

The vehicle seems to blow a lot of fuses, bulbs, and sensors. While they are an easy fix, a fuse to an auxiliary power outlet should not blow 4 times when the outlet is rarely even used! I've also replaced several ignition coils, headlights, brake lights, fog lamps, and other things. Overall, with all of the nickel and diming, I think that GM really means "Got Money?"

Nice vehicle

I'm very pleased with my trailblazer. I've had it 2 years now and yes things needed to be fixed but that's to be expected. Use it for vacation and it has alot of packing room.

Dependable

I have a 2005 trailblazer with 151,000 miles. Always starts up for me. Haven't had to put take off money into it since I bought it two years ago. Rides very comfortably. Never at a loss for power. Straight six cylinder engine, I can never find a vehicle with a straight 6, I was happy to find this one.

Trailblazer

For a 2005, with many miles, it's been a very good car. We bought it used in 2017 to pull our camper. We've replaced a few things and it has been very reliable. It is a very comfortable ride and I feel safe driving it.

2005 Trailblazer

I bought my trailblazer in 2005 and it is now 2020 and my truck is going strong! I haven't had to do anything major on my truck-just normal wear and tear stuff . The only complaint I have about my truck is the low mileage then I get. Only 13 miles per gallon. Other than that, I love my truck!

Decent SUV

My Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS has the 6 cylinder motor. It currently has 193,000. It has currently issues with a misfire cylinder 2, a blown resistor motor in the rear, and the 4wd does not work. The rear wheels lock up when I put it in 4wd. Overall its a good vehicle. The rear seats are easy to work. I like the cargo shelf and the lift glass and gate are handy. I've hauled tools, garden supplies, groceries, and still sat 4 people comfortably. Since its a 2005, parts are easily found in junkyards and online. Once everything is fixed on it, I believe I'll get another 200,000 miles out of her.

The Heavy Chevy

My Chevy is awesome. Has plenty of power, and dosent let me down. But, you must pay the cost to be the boss. When it need repairs you might be shuffling out 700 to 1300 for minor and major repairs. Also, fnding rhe right place to leave for maintenance can be a task. That's if you want things done right.

Chevy Trailblazer

We bought this vehicle used with 15,000 miles on it. The dealer told us we could get 300,00 miles out of it. This has been one of the best cars we have had. Over 165,000 miles and it still runs smoothly.

Love at First Sight

I LOVE my Chevy Trailblazer. It’s a dependable vehicle, roomy, but not so big that the gas mileage is out of hand. Handles great in the inclement weather and has great four wheel capabilities. The first time I drove a Chevy Trailblazer was seven years ago and I was in love from that moment.

Solid and Reliable

I own a 2005 Trailblazer and can only say it is a shame Chevrolet has discontinued this model. It is as solid and reliable a vehicle you can possibly imagine. I see tons of these vehicles on the road and receive offers from time time to time asking if I wish to sell my Trailblazer. I have well over 200,000 miles on it and I expect many more.
