  • TrailBlazer SS: SSweet. - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    Not many changes for 2008, but all together the vehicle is a fun and comfortable muscle-truck. The throttle response at all rpm ranges is strong and allows for a fun drive. The tight sport-tuned suspension leaves one with the feeling of driving a car much lower to the ground. The sound of the Corvette LS-2 engine is evident at idle and even more so in high rpm. The full option electronic interior with heated seats and leather/suede wrapping make for a feeling of luxury most GM SUVs dont allow for. Overall, the SS is very sporty in exterior and interior styling, strong horsepower, and tight suspension with the interior luxury factors making it desirable for even standard SUV fans.

    If youre looking for an SUV look into this Chevy. Yea, the gas mileage is terrible, but it handles great, has great looks, and plenty of cargo space. The styling cues are great, and with the usual large Chevy rebate you can get this truck affordably! This is a must consider

    If you looking for comfort and performance this is the SUV that you should consider. This has so much power, its hard to imagine a SUV can give this type of performance. If you looking for a family vehicle that is fuel efficient, this is not your type. If you want something fast with the capabilities of a SUV and comfort, look no further.

  • High Performance SUV - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    This is the most fun SUV Ive ever driven. The power is super & the handling is more like a sports car. If the bad mileage doesnt bother you this SUV is hands down the best performace SUV out there. Only had a minor problem so far & it was fixed promply. Where else can you get a Corvette engine & handling package in a SUV.

  • Nice SUV - 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    This is a fun SUV. Not to be mistaken for a real off road SUV. The fuel mileage is better than the manufacturer says, Im getting 16.57 mpg. I am looking forward to increasing the horsepower. If you are looking forward to a fun SUV with horsepower this is the SUV for you.
