  • Great SUV - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT

    Glad Ive bought it!

  • Superb ride - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    After four Jeep vehicles (Cherokee and Grand Cherokees), I truly did not expect to be buying a Chevy. One test drive in an EXT, after testing several other makes, and I found myself driving one home. I found it to be surprisingly nimble for its size. The interior is very comfortable, except that the seats are rather firm.

  • Great 7 Passenger Vehicle - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    I must admit, I love the Trailblazer. It is not fun to drive considering it is like an oversize station wagon, but it does ride smooth like a car which is a big plus. I dont know where all the gas mileage figures are coming from. The sticker says 15 city. Someone mentioned they obtained 15 in the city. We do not pull a trailer, drive very conservatively, have clean filters etc and are lucky to get 13 mpg in the city. This is unacceptable for a straight 6 engine. GM - Where is your competitive crossover vehicle for the 7 passenger Toyota Highlander?? The build quality is good. The vehicle drives nice, has plenty of torque and the 4x4 is great for hunting.

  • Trailblazer is a big fun truck - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    This truck has plenty of passenger room and can be reconfigured easily to accomodate many large cargo loads as well. There are some areas in the interior where the plushness is crudely interrupted by hardware (bolts) and the exterior is made up of more plastic than I expected. However, overall this ride looks as nice as the ride is smooth!

  • My Best Vehicle Yet!!!! - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT

    I absolutly love this truck! I love the look of it, the comfort,the quality, and the performance. An excellent towing vehicle that is a dream to drive. Very quiet inside and the smoothest ride Ive had for a long time.

  • Fair - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    The TrailBlaser handling in snow has not been what I expected. The rearend could get away very easily. The rear stereo controls do not come with headsets. It is the only way you can listen to second station. The front drink holders are to close the dash not allowing drinks to fit right.

  • GM Junk - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    I had never owned a Chevy SUV before and was excited to get a Trailblazer EXT. Great style, good features at a reasonable price. No quality. The 1st 3 months I had 9 problems with 2 trips in for an upshift problem that they claimed they could not find. GM suggested I find a dealer that had a tool to install that would monitor the problem, but I had to reseach and find the dealer that had it and go there. They had no interest or concern of the many problems or required trips to the dealer. If you are thinking of buying one, hopefully you do not get one of the many lemons they have out there.

  • Broken at 600 miles - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    Driving down the highway in 2 wheel drive and the Service 4wd light came on. Took it to the dealer and the part is on back order! It is comfortable but that doesnt help while it is in the shop.

  • V8 TrailBlazer EXT is a great, fun SUV - 2004 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
    By -

    My 2004 TrailBlazer EXT has been a great ride for me. I would not have considered buying it had it not been available with the proven quality and power of the 5.3 Vortec V8. This TB is loaded with all avaialable options except for the DVD player and navigation system. I am very pleased with this SUV - it replaced a Ford Explorer.
