Chevrolet TrailBlazer    
Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Tested version: LT 6-cyl (shown)
CR Model Summary
The TrailBlazer and its twin, the GMC Envoy, trail the competitors because of sloppy handling, ill-fitting trim, hard-to-reach front safety belts, and excessive wind noise. Off-roading is not a strength, but the low-speed ride is absorbent. The SS model has a 390-hp, 6.0-liter V8. In our testing, the six-cylinder sounded strained and returned only 15 mpg. Stability control is standard, making emergency handling secure. Crash-test results are unimpressive. Reliability for the six-cylinder model has improved to average, but the TrailBlazer scores too low to be recommended.
