Overview & Reviews
Only minor changes are in store for the 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. The LT trim level now has dual-zone climate control, an auto-dimming rearview mirror and rear audio controls. On the TrailBlazer SS, there are now two SS packages: standard (1SS) and 3SS. These effectively replace last year's LS and LT trim levels. The seven-passenger TrailBlazer EXT is dropped.
- Powerful performance, comfortable on the highway, lots of features, simple controls.
- Bland interior with some subpar materials, skittish handling around corners for non-SS versions, no third-row seat option.

Big Mistake - 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
By bill - July 24 - 2:53 pmI was looking for something smaller, by smaller, I mean smaller than my F-250 Super Cab, I needed to pull my boat and a small trailer. I saw the Trailblazer on line and thinking the price was to good to be true, I soon found out it had big problems. First I took it to my local mechanic, told him to go over it top to bottom and fix anything he saw wrong. He told me the front differential had no oil in it, they replace the belts, hoses and looked over the brakes and changes the oil. I had a new windshield installed, then I noticed oil on my driveway, the diff was leaking badly, I had to wait 2 weeks for parts. The instrument cluster was a mess, the tachometer did not work and the oil pressure gauge was pegged out, $230 to repair. I got lucky on the diff it was a seal but getting parts took 2 weeks and cost me $248 to fix. I have a Honda Pilot and my insurance was costing me $66 a month, when I got the bill for my Trailblazer it was $124 a month, WHY? I ask. The underwriter said it cost a lot more for parts and that GM parts were much larger, Honda uses small panels than GM. Another thing I noticed was that the engine seemed very nosy, I check the water pump and all the bearing, but the all seemed good, I am a little worried about the inline 6 noise, but so far the car seems to be running good. The sunroof did not work, I decided I never use it anyway why spend the $$s on repairing it. I am very picky about my cars, I grew up in a family of mechanics, and I can repair most minor issue, but in the long run I wish I had never taken the bait on this car, as my old Daddy used to say "if it to good to be true it probably is." What seem strange was it was a low mileage SUV. My F-250 has over 209,000 mile runs like a charm and everything works, the problem was it is hard on gas with that huge V-10 Ford block and hard to park. Live and learn.

Wouldnt buy again - 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
By michigan - May 13 - 2:40 pmI have driven a lot of SUVs and this is the worst by far. Rides like a truck, the trim/seal on the doors is already falling off. Too small inside, horrid cup holders. Doesnt feel like it holds the ground well. Drinks gasoline like plants drink water. HATE IT. Would love to get rid of it.

Piece of junk - 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
By st2000 - February 26 - 9:07 amStill cannot understand how I got this vehicle. Noisy, doesnt keep the road, the interior is just like they were making cars in late 80s. It has only 10,000 on it, but have already fixed it 5 times. The best feature is to turn wipers on. Ive been cursing the designers mother since I tried to turn wipers first time. That was my last American car.
