Overview & Reviews

• Powerful engine lineup, comfortable highway manners, straightforward controls.

• Aging design, nondescript cabin with some mediocre materials, unsettled handling, no third-row seating, below-average crash-test scores.

  Trailblazer Blazes - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Jenny - January 4 - 1:03 pm

  Purchased our TB as a demo w/ 500 miles, great deal, great car! Drives and handles very well, much better than the Fords my family has owned. Has great space for our two carseats in the backseat and a smaller or thinner person in the middle when necessary. Cargo space is perfect, can fit strollers & groceries with room to spare. Easy to find and operate controls, love the electric seat adj as husband & I are 1 ft diff in height, can easily adj to our needs. Have had no problems whatsoever with routine maintenance. Gas mileage is as expected for an SUV. OnStar is a major bonus, especially when you have kids. Travels well for short & long distances - would definitely purchase again!

  By Harold W. - November 4 - 8:30 pm

  Bought this program Trailblazer with 7500 miles on it. Now has 16700 and I dont have one complaint. It is one of the best handling vehicle I have driven. Very comfortable on long trips.I have not had anything to complain about and I would buy another one.

  Best SUV for the price! Have driven quite a number of new and used SUVs. In my opinion it was well worth the price I paid! Very comfortable to sit in, controls within easy reach, well designed. The front bottom seats are especially long, which relieves leg stress on long trips! Very stable on the road, even at 70. Hardly any sway around corners. Great fuel economy with 6 cylinder engine. Plenty of passing power. All the bells and whistles. Very roomy trunk. Great CD sound system. Easy to reach oil filter.

  I love it - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By TY L. - April 21 - 1:43 pm

  I love it. Drives awesome, looks even better. Theres not a lot of them around where i live so its awesome being next to the tuner guys and give em hell. The ride is very smooth. Everything is straight forward. Fuel economy is something everyone seems to have an CON for but what do you expect out of an SUV with a corvette engine in it. Id recommend anyone that needs the room of the SUV but the fun of a sports car to buy it and never look back.

  Way better then I expected - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Canyons - March 15 - 8:10 am

  We were looking at a Yukon or a Tahoe but for the price you just cant beat this. I was a little hesitant at first to buy this but I quickly changed my mind. The drive is super smooth (better then some cars) there is room in the back for my 63 husband and enough room for our two large Labradors in the back. With a new baby on the way we should have plenty of room for everyone :)

  The Comfort of a Luxury Vehicle - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Sailingsoon - March 2 - 8:49 pm

  We purchased this vehicle new for $18K when GM was offering great rebates- what a bargain! In 2003 we purchased a TB for my daughter and were impressed by the ride and ease of parking and handling. The reliability of her TB was OK, but not stellar. In 90,000 miles she had to have the fan clutch replaced, a passenger side power window replaced at her cost and had some initial warranty problems with door seals and taillights. I read where GM later changed the type of fan clutch and solved that problem.

  An Excellent Affordable SUV! - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Kansas Sunflower - February 8 - 9:15 pm

  Since buying this vehicle I have driven it in town, on highways, in mud, in sand, in snow, and some on ice. Much of the driving has been a combination of city and highway, but it has been on one trip of about 2000 miles. The performance has been great and the overall mileage has been better than I expected. Most city driving yields about 15-16mpg and most highway driving has yielded 19-20 mpg. However, during the 2000 mile trip the TrailBlazer (6 cylinder) got 23 mpg at times with an overall average of 21 mpg for the trp. This is a very comfortable vehicle to drive and to ride as a passenger. It has not given me any problems so far.

  TrailBlazer SS - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Darkhell - January 31 - 9:52 am

  The hands down best SUV I have ever driven. I have never been a fan of buying new cars until the day I drove to the dealership to test drive something fast just for the fun of it. Months went by and I couldnt get that car out of my head. Its the comfort of one of a luxury SUV, hands down best looking SUV on the market and is powered by the 400hp ls2 corvette motor. Not sure if you want one? No harm in just test driving one.

  Love my TrailBlazer! - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By New chevyowner - January 6 - 1:36 pm

  After being a 25 year Ford customer and having a dismal experience with my last Explorer, I decided to make the switch to a Chevy. Wow what a difference, I should have done it years ago. The TrailBlazer is as beautiful as the Explorer, with a much smoother ride. I cant feel every little crack in the road like with the Explorer, the transmission is superb with none of the problems I experienced from day one with the horrible Explorer transmission (so far, I havent had it long). Chevy offers the 100,000 mile powertrain warranty which tells me that they put alot of confidence in their product.

  TrailBlazer Redux - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By richgimmel - January 4 - 7:14 am

  This is my second TrailBlazer. My first was an 06 that I gave up without a single problem after 70,000 miles. GM was discounting the new 08 models so heavily I had to buy one. This is a very well-built vehicle. Naturally, GM decided to shut down the plant that makes them.
