Overview & Reviews

The TrailBlazer gets a host of minor interior improvements this year. Seating has been restyled and boasts comfort and quality improvements. Detail changes include revised chrome accents, trim enhancements and a new instrument panel appearance. Among the new options are an audio system with CD/MP3 compatibility and full-length side curtain airbags (which replace last year's front-seat side airbags).

• Strong engine performance, comfortable highway ride, extensive features list, user-friendly controls.

• Skittish handling around corners, numb steering, generic interior design with mediocre materials.

  Good Value - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Good Vaule - July 2 - 1:40 pm

  The SUV is want a bad purchase if youre looking for a nice ride which has had no major issues. The recurring problem is if you dont turn the gas cap 2-3 Full turns after you fill the tank the engine light would come on which can be very annoying. It will shut off after about 7 start-ups. If not, you have to take it to the dealership so they can reset the darn thing. Overall, not a bad buy and with the peace of mind that their are Chevy dealers everywhere if you were to need service.

  By Wes p - May 28 - 6:46 am

  Front seats not as comfortable as should be; seem to lean in to the center with lack of support. Drives and rides great its just the fuel economy is just not what it should be. 16mph on average is not good when the mini van was about 25mph.

  Excellent mid-size choice - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Bryan L. - April 29 - 7:43 am

  I purchased a 2005 TrailBlazer LS 4WD three months ago with 7000 miles on the odometer. No problems everything works as it should. Living and driving in Chicago, its a perfect SUV (for me) for this terrain. Excellent visibility, super-tight turning radius, and it surpresses all of those rough roads and pot holes with ease. Great power from the 4.2L inline six cylinder (almost 300hp) and experienced 17.5 mpg around the city and 21.5 on the highway. No drifting has been experienced at highway speeds. The TrailBlazer has been around for awhile and has a proven design that works well for most.

  Solid Chevy - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By jerry - April 1 - 5:58 am

  This SUV handles great and will tow heavy loads with no problem. We have taken a long trip with 7 passengers comfortably. The seats fold flat easily and the ride is great. The gas mileage is its weak point 17mpg but we knew that before we bought it.

  Great 4x4 - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By tmnavy - March 12 - 8:34 am

  We got our 05 Trailblazer LS 4x4 in Dec 05 and we love it. So much room, and power. A week after we got it we went from OH to CT, 740 miles one way, and averaged 21 mpg the whole trip and it did great in the snow.

  Love the Trailblazer - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Trailblazer - February 4 - 6:22 am

  I traded my Dodge Dakota for the Trailblazer as I wanted more room and better gas mileage. I found I got 20 MPG on the highway doing 70 mph, which was a huge improvement for me. I love the room it offers and it handles great in corners. The sunroof and 4X4 features are just an added bounce. All in all Im very happy with my purchase.

  Nice truck - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By jpb - January 29 - 12:56 am

  Purchased TB to replace an 02 Explorer (first and absolutely last Ford). Pleasure to drive, good performance, good reliability. Lots of wind noise. Not much storage up front. Seats could fold down easier with more room (they hit the front seats). Seat belts arent the most comfortable, and hard to reach. Love the heated leather, stereo, sunroof, driver info center. Gas mileage could be better. Cup holder locations arent very convenient. Great ride, though, and Chevy reliability is the best, especially after owning a Ford.

  2005 TrailBlazer - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By WRC - January 17 - 3:17 am

  Overall I am extremely satisfied with my TrailBlazer. I think there are a few improvements that could be made to better accomodate the driver and passengers but I am sure that Chevrolet will work out the kinks in years to come. Hopefully Chevrolet will find a way to increase the fuel economy on the TrailBlazer. This is my biggest complaint.

  By mbperkins - January 15 - 10:00 am

  Great SUV. Would like better gas mileage. Would like to see bigger tires and rims on LT models.
