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:

  • Not sure - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    I just got one used, the 2002 LS, so its a year old. Only problem so far is that on a cold morning, if I dont let it warm up enough, the tranny sounds like its racing even at 2500 rpms, and theres no power to the car, it just crawls. If I stop and give it a minute, the problem stops. Could be an exhaust problem, a misfiring piston, transmission, or I dunno what else. Its only happened 3 times, all on a cold morning. But its not even winter yet.

  • I like it. - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

    Very impressed overall with entire vehicle. It comes with some features that are new to me as a former Dodge truck only owner, ie automatic headlights, speed compensated volume on radio( although not needed, it is very quiet at hwy speed), strong I-6,and smooth acceleration and ride.

  • Id rather push my Chevy than drive a... - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

    For the money, I’ve found my LS to be a great buy. It’s got a really quick, high revving engine that gets good gas mileage. Mine came with “Preferred Equipment Group 3” which includes things like remote keyless entry, cruise control and theft deterrent system. But more impressive are the standard features like automatic headlight sensors (turn on interior lights depending on light conditions), programmable door lock settings, circuit board electronics (rather than miles of wire), 16 inch aluminum wheels, full size spare, radio / CD that turns down the volume when the vehicle slows, gas shocks, dual zone AC with rear passenger controls, dual stage airbags and side impact air bags.

  • This car is great! - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    I just purchased the car a few days ago. So far I am extremely impressed. The car drives very well and the design, both inside and out is exceptional. The true test will obviouslt come in the years ahead, but for now I am extremely satisfied. I think the editors review does not do justice to this car.

  • Our first SUV - a winner! - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    This is our first SUV. For a long time, we were against them, but when our daughter was born, we realized that our cars just couldnt cut it in terms of rear seat and cargo, especially when it came to road trips to see family. We first looked at cute-utes, but they were barely bigger than our Subaru, so we decided to look at the mid-size category. We seriously considered the Toyota Highlander as well, which is definitely a nice SUV, but with the $2002 cash backs and attractive interest rates, it was a no-brainer to go with the Chevy (it didnt help that we couldnt get a Highlander without a ton of options - and none of the dealers we talked to were willing to order one).

  • Great SUV - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    I had never owned an SUV, until I wrecked my Ford Taurus. I shopped around, and test drove many cars, and absolutely fell in love with the Trailblazer. It handles very well in the city and on the highway, has great acceleration (especially from 40mph- 70mph,) and has a ton of space inside. The engine is strong and quiet, and I have not had a single problem to date (although I have only owned it for 3 months.) My only disappointment is the $25 it takes to fill it up every week, but I guess I should have seen that coming.

    The ride and handling on slightly slick roads is excellent. The turning radius and overall drivability is excellent. Highway driving is car-like. Heating/cooling takes a while to get used to.

  • Vibration @ ~60mph - 2002 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
    By -

    Like others, I also have the vibration that occurs around 60mph that can be felt through the accelerator pedal. I brought it in this morning and the service dept. called GM Tech Service. The service consultant told me that GM was aware of this and that it had something to do with the firing impulses. I didnt get into the details. Bottom line, the service dept. couldnt do anything right now but said that hopefully in the near future GM will have a fix.

    The Trail Blazer has good low end power but, in 0-60 times it is a dog. The Blazer has roomy back seat and also up front.
