A stereo system with CD/MP3 compatibility and full-length side curtain airbags (replacing last year's front-seat side airbags) are new options this year. Power rear-quarter windows are also new for 2005.

  Smooth 5.3L V8 - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By John - September 22 - 4:26 pm

  The smoothest SUV I have ever driven. I love taking road trips with this vehicle. Acceleration is excellent, suspension is wonderful, and with that 3rd row theres room for everyone. I drove a Honda Pilot, Toyota 4runner, Mitsubishi Endeavor, toyota sequoia, lincoln navigator, and yet none of those cars come close to the smoothness of an EXT Trailblazer. Excellent job GM. Japanese may have the advantage when it comes to small compact cars, but its all hands down to American when it comes down to the SUV segment.

  TRAILBLAZER EXT - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By MIKE POWER - August 30 - 6:40 am

  The Chevy Trailblazer EXT is the best SUV we have ever purchased. Plenty of pick up and go, plenty of room, and the third row seating is very comfortable. Gas mileage is a bit worse than the regular sized Trailblazer. With rear heat and a/c everyone is comfortable all the time. We also have XM satellite radio and OnStar that are wonderful additions. I will never buy any other SUVs than Chevys again!!!

  Like that TrailBlazer - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By Louis - May 1 - 1:40 pm

  We own the extended version and love it. Lots of room for 5 boys, the dog and plenty of other gear. Great road trip vehicle. We were looking at mini vans but found this to be more practicle and the 4 wheel drive comes in handy up here in the north-east during the winter.In fact we are a multiple TrailBlazer family.

  Chevy Trailblazer EXT Family Transporter - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By Go Spartans - April 8 - 11:26 pm

  This vehicle replaced our Chevrolet Venture Warner Brothers model mini van. They both had pros and cons. The handling of the SUV is better and the acceleration is better. The roominess with the longer wheel base is limited by the folding rear seats. It is nice to set up higher, but when you have little kids it is harder for them to get in on their own. Over all I enjoy every time I get to drive the Trailblazer. My neighbors like it too.

  Whole Family Loves This Truck - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By JIMS1024 - July 8 - 2:00 am

  Absolutely love this truck. Our model has all the options, leather heated seats, power everything. XM radio / Bose system. We could not be happier with our TrailBlazer EXT. Bought it used with 36k on it. Unbelieveable how much room - even in third row.

  This vehicle is sweet. - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By *THEMAN - April 12 - 4:50 am

  I love the 2005 Trailblazer. Mine is fully loaded with the Bose speakers and navigational system. It has a moonroof and so many extra gadgets I havent figured them all out yet. The vehicle is extremely comfortable with heated and power seats. If you ever buy one, I recommend the navigational system. It tells you where to go and where to turn, very easy to use. The digital readout monitors about every thing imaginable on the vehicle. It tells you your oil life percentage, avg miles per gallon, miles left to travel before runnin out of fuel, etc, etc.

  I Love My Baby! - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By Jenny - August 8 - 9:40 pm

  I love the sporty look, comfort, size, stability, and all the added features. I bought just about every feature offered and couldnt be more happy. The only down side so far is the low fuel mileage, its rated at 18mpg HW according to the sticker and Im only getting 13. I dont pass too many gas stations. There is rarely a day that goes by that I dont get a compliment on it. I love the safety features also, one of my favorites is the built in cell phone. Too many drivers on the road are preoccupied with their cells that they just dont pay enough attention. I would definitely recommend the Trailblazer to anyone interested in purchasing an SUV.

  Love my Trailblazer - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By DianeS - August 2 - 10:00 am

  We just love this truck! It has excellent performance (V8) and a beautiful interior. We have all the bells and whistles on it including a DVD player and 3rd row seat making those long trips with the kids a little more peaceful. The gas mileage is surprisingly good, and the interior is very comfortable for up to 8 people. I would highly recommend this vehicle to anyone interesed in a SUV.

  Hawaiian Trailblazer - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT

  It does feel a little rocky around corners. The fuel economy is average for a vehicle of this size I suppose. Other than that, I love my Trailblazer.

  Trailblazer is great - 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer EXT
  By Corey Cornick - March 5 - 1:53 am

  I love my SUV! Thats all I can say. It has come through for me. I have hauled everything from 60 bags of mulch to a basketball hoop on the roof. The EXT is a very versatile vehicle. My wife thinks Im crazy when I park the Lexus in the garage and take the Trailblazer out on the town. This is a very wise choice of a vehicle. My next SUV will be the Trailblazer SS!
