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.

  GAS Gauge & electrical issues - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Shaniqua856 - February 8 - 11:10 am

  on my 2nd fuel gauge replacement issue. Something failing in the gas tank saying Low Fuel (Always). I cant afford to replace it again @ $500 in 4 years of ownership, so using the "fuel used" meter to tell me when to fill. This has worked very well. Buttons on the radio & console wear very quickly & fuses fail continually so you just deal with it. A great deal of maintanence. When will there be a recall on the Fuel Gauge issue?

  Great Vehicle - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Dave - February 3 - 10:36 am

  This is my 2nd posting regarding the Trailblazer, the last being in March of 08. This truck has been the most reliable vehicle we have ever owned. It now has 63,000 miles on it and has never needed anything other than oil and filter changes. It is quick, comfortable, and can carry a lot of cargo with the seats folded down. Go easy on the gas pedal and it will get 20-21 mpg on the highway.

  Trailblazer review - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By lu213 - January 17 - 7:07 pm

  My wife and I have owned our trailblazer since 2005. We purchased the vehicle with only 20,000 miles on it. IT now has 100,000. We have never had any major problems with our T blaze, other than replacing the battery, thermostat, and the idler pulley. I do all the maintenance on the vehicle. We live in a rural area approximately 20 miles to the nearest city so we do alot of driving and traveling. The vehicle handles very well and pulls great to be a six cylinder under a load. In all a very nice suv would recommend to any one looking to purchase a suv.

  By BioBabie - December 13 - 2:06 am

  Its a reliable truck, howver its horrible on gas. It is a great design by GM, however it i too big of a truck for the V-6 engine. Its very comfortable.

  Best Trcuk - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Auton - December 10 - 2:43 pm

  This is the best truck I have ever had. I am getting far better gas mileage than is listed on the specs here. I have 4 drive options 2wd, AWD, 4WD and 4wd low. I keep it in 2WD most of the time and I am getting 26-29 MPH. I could not be happier. I am even getting 17-19 MPH towing my boat. It doesnt even drive like a tippy truck. Rock solid!

  The Trailblazer has more HP than any SUV in its class. The ride is extremly smooth. I think the interior is very user freindly.

  could be better - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By jim and valerie - July 23 - 8:37 pm

  at 62000 miles the transmission has developed. that has me worried, after having a Ford Taurus and a Dodge Caravan both developed leaks and major problems at around 65000 miles. so you see it seems to be an American car company problem not just Chevy. gas mileage is extreme. around 20 highway and 13 city in two wheel drive. lock in 4-wheel drive and it drops to 10 or less. my v-8 ford pickup does better by far.

  THIS CAR IS A NIGHTMARE - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By GRISEL71 - June 22 - 12:20 pm

  I have had this truck less than 5 years and I have already needed a new transmission, a new throttle unit and a gas pump unit. I have spent over 8,000 on this car all happened after warranty naturally. Mechanic tells me this is a VERY common issue with trailblazers and all parts are always on shelf because of this common need for these particular parts but chevy wont recall them. Im junking it and still have 10K to pay unbelievable so much for American made cars.....never again Chevy (GM) is uncooperative and taking peoples money!
