For 2009, OnStar 8.0 now offers Bluetooth hands-free phone connectivity. The 5.3-liter V8 option has been dropped.
Chevrolet's midsize TrailBlazer SUV may be one of the older designs on the market, but its winning combination of size, power, interior room and price make it a force with which to be reckoned. The five-passenger TrailBlazer comes with a potent yet fuel-friendly in-line six-cylinder engine, and has an available 5.3-liter V8 perfectly suited for towing heavy loads. The TrailBlazer even offers a high-performance version wearing the famous SS logo and packing a 395-horsepower, 6.0-liter V8 under its hood. A long list of optional equipment makes it easy to personalize the TrailBlazer, creating a rolling recreation room for the kids in a safe and stylish package both mom and dad can feel good about.

"I have owned my 2003 Chevy Trailblazer for 7 years ever since it was brand new. I have never had to replace major components in the vehicle except for batteries and a power motor going out on a window. I keep her babied and she keeps on running. Still going strong at 143,000 miles."

"Bought Chevorlet 05 Trailblazer Ext during Chevy's "Pay the same as an employee" promotion in the Fall of 2005. I have driven it cross country 2 times between South to Pacific NW since I've had it moving my family. It has been an "OK" Vehicle with minimal problems. Compared to other vehicles at the time it was a good deal. By biggest (CONS) issues with this model are: The wind noise. I don't have a clue why I didn't notice it as much when I test drove it, but as I continue to make my monthly payments, the noise gets louder....and louder... Also, there seems to be a systemic problem with the trailblazer making a "humming noise". There is an idler pully that wears out on the model after about 40-50K miles. Chevy's response is to bring it in and let one of our trianed professionals repair it-- (not a recall) oh, and that will be about $200. My local shop repaired ours for about $37.50. We have enjoyed it as far as confort, smooth riding, and touring (with up to 7 passengers). I would recommend if a good value, but with all things being equal, recommend something with a little more power (ours had the in-line 6 cylinder)."

"I bought this SUV in 2005 with 18K miles on it. I am very disappointed. In 3 years it has gone through 2 batteries, complete brakes, gas gage is broken, CD works sometimes, trim around the doors is falling off. There is a hole on the driver side floor in a weld seam, It stalls out about once a week. The gas mileage is well below expected and there are several rattles. About the only good thing I can say is that it rides smooth on the highway. The engine and trans work well together. It's a comfortable car to drive."
