2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
I have driven this vehicle about 20,000 miles so far. It is an outstanding vehicle. My wife and I pull a 3000 lb trailer at times, and the 6 cylinder engine handles it just fine. Mileage does drop to from 12-14 mpg with the trailer, but that is to be expected.

Just returned from a 3400 mile trip to the southeast US. Most of the driving was at highway speeds, but some was in 4-wheel drive in very sandy areas. The mileage ranged from 19-23 mpg with an overall average of 20.3 mpg. We were not towing the trailer, but did have at least 300 pounds of supplies and other equipment. Most highway driving was at the speed limit or slightly above.

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
The Trailblazer is very cheaply made and gives the appearance of being bigger inside from the outside and that is not the case at all

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
More space inside as it appears outside the truck. Feels very closed in inside the vehicle

Pros: What do you like about 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Trailblazer SS. Best seats for long term driving. Suspension is tight. Power is great. Utility & size. Perfect mid sized unit.

Cons: How would you improve 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Factory dual exhaust would be nice. 6 speed tranny for better highway miles. A little more dash setail. Looks bland, but, it's not a vehicle for the masses. Select few will appreciate the utility, performance & good looks.

2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
Best AWD vehicle owned to date. Sporty, has plenty of cargo space. Likely will be discontinued due to type of engine & gas mileage due to new cafe standards. What a shame...
