This Year's Model Updates:

This fully redesigned Trailblazer now sports a longer, wider and noticeably stiffer chassis, along with an all-new 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder engine and a more refined suspension that is light years ahead of its predecessor, the Blazer. Unique sheet metal now differentiates the Trailblazer from its GM cousins, the GMC Envoy and Oldsmobile Bravada, while a restyled interior makes better use of the additional passenger room inside.

Pros:
  • Class-leading engine power, forgiving ride, room for seven in the EXT version.
Cons:

    This inline six should get much better gas mileage. With all city driving I am lucky to get 12 mpg. Very disapointing!

  • POWER! but at a price - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    we needed one big car for the fam. home projects and a kid on the way. the tblazer seemed to be perfect! HUGE power, good amount of room, and a reasonable price. but the interior comfort really leaves a lot to be desired, the audio system isnt very good at all, and the mileage (understandably) is poor. but whats dissappointing is that the 4x4 switch becomes inoperative in the cold. guess when i need the 4x4 to WORK?!

    Overall I love this vehicle... except for the build quality... I had to have the engine replaced at 9500 miles... dealer said there was a gouge in the 5th piston sleeve... plus there have been some other smaller things... "other than that Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?" it has run great since the replacement though...

  • 2002 LS - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

    I have an 89 s10 w/175K miles and a 2000 Blazer, so its not surprising I have added this to my garage. The great exterior styling is beyond what I could ever wish for in a Chevy SUV. Other pluses are the strong engine, smooth ride, but it would have been nice to drop the solid axle. One thing I did not like is the fact you are forced to buy OnStar to get a sunroof in the LS (shame on you Chevy).

  • Lemon in Green - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    Bought the LS in Hunter Green a little over a year ago. Have had major problems with the elctronic system on board. At one point, the dealer had the car for 3 weeks and had to rent me a loaner. Radio changes stations all by itself, A/c quits and starts all by itself. Gas mileage is aweful. I have a Tahoe that gets better mileage than this SUV does 10 mpg city, 16 mpg highway. Car has spent a total of 6 weeks in the shop and yet GM will not buy it back as it hasnt been enough problems to warrant replacement. My next car will be a Honda. Dealership was a good as could be expected dealing with a design error.

  • Back to GM - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    Traded in a 99 Dodge Durango that was getting a little long in tooth. Have been watching the TB for awhile now, reading reviews, talking to owners etc. and decided I would give GM another try after two (shame on me) not very good 94 and 96 Jimmy experiences. Using GM BuyPower picked up an LTZ this last week. Overall good buying experience, pricing, and dealer delivery. I am initially very very impressed with the car. This is a Caddy in an SUV skin. Give yourself a few days to program everything! If the vehicle reliablilty holds up then this will be a winner. Ill let you know.

  • Transmission Problems?? - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    We love our Trailblazer, but was wondering if anyone else has had transmission problems? Weve already had to have sensor replaced to shift from first to second and now it seems to be having a problem again. Everything else is superb!
