Overview & Reviews

The 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer carries over with minimal changes, most notably adding satellite radio and side curtain airbags to its standard equipment list.

• 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.

  Happy so far... - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Derek - October 21 - 12:38 pm

  We recently purchased a 2008 Chevy TrailBlazer 1LT... our first American built car after a trio of Nissans.We are very happy with our purchase so far. Excellent ride,expected fuel mileage 15city/21hwy,excellent space for each passenger,a real surprise. We were not set on a TrailBlazer but after our purchase we would not hesitate to purchase a newer more updated version if it was produced.

  08 Black SS - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Mike - October 9 - 11:18 pm

  I needed an AWD truck/SUV and opted for the TBSS (rebates, standard features). No regrets, drives great, enough power to scare you and pulls a 20 bassboat like it isnt even attached. No problems or issues in 20k miles. Only problem is no matter how I drive I cant get over 16mpg, 50 or 100 doesnt matter. Low 14 high 16, but with everything onboard and the performance not to be found ANYWHERE else in a SUV, period, Im nit picking about the gas mileage. Love the vehicle.

  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.

  TB5.3v8 - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Nick Ricc - June 21 - 6:28 am

  First TB was 02, and didnt like 4.2. Was traded for 04 Tahoe that was great, but I was offered special incentives to trade on a 08TB 5.3, and have enjoyed it ever since. MPG average is about 18.2 and seems to improve with middle grade 89.

  Worst Vehicle I Ever Owned - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By David Binder - April 24 - 7:17 am

  The stabilitrack light comes on and the dealers can not find a problem. The vehicle once would not move when that light came on. We finally used Onstar to capture the error code but the dealerships we took it to could not identify the problem. The windows are slow to go up and are noisy.

  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.

  wish i could drive it - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By david mcdermott - March 23 - 1:45 am

  well so far ive had my trailblazer almost a month and ive gotten to drive it for two weeks of it. only 500 miles on it and already in shop 3 times for check engine light comming on. first couple times they thought it may be a gas cap, now its been in shop for several days for same thing however now its because a bad sensor that they had to pull gas tank to get to. hopefully that fixes it, thank god for 36,000 mile warranty, after its over come talk to me if you want a 08 trailblazer for cheap as is. anyway, i like my rental car

  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.

  No room it the back - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
  By Kaye - February 25 - 10:43 am

  This has always been a dream vehicle until we bought it. The vehicle is very comfortable except the backseat which is very uncomfortable and no room. There is no extras it is only basic inside.
