'06 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

Available in two trim levels, the 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is also available in two wheelbase lengths. All models also feature a four-wheel drive and a four-speed auto transmission.

The base model is fitted with an I-6 4.2 liter 291 horsepower engine, but can be further upgraded to a Vortec 5300 V-8 overhead valve 5.3 liter engine that produces 300 hp and 330 pounds-feet of torque for both the standard as well as the EXT models.

The 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer S model features a third engine type – the more powerful V-8 6.0 liter engine that churns out 395 hp and a massive 400 pounds-feet of torque. This new SS model has been added from this year to the Trailblazer family.

Four-wheel disc brakes, ABS, and airbags are standard features. The car rides beautifully on-road as well as off-road and has adequate engine power to tow a wagon over long distances, especially with the V-8 engine.

'05 Chevrolet TrailBlazer

A more civilized class of SUV, the 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is a mid-size SUV that has powerful brakes, a rigid chassis and an updated suspension to provide a versatile drive that can easily handle both on-road as well as off-road travel.

The 2005 TrailBlazer is fitted with an I-6 4.2 liter engine that churns out 275 horsepower along with a sophisticated four-wheel drive system and a six-cylinder inline engine.

The series features three-row seating and accommodates seven people. This year sees better fuel efficiency in its engines with GM’s patented Displacement on Demand technology that promises 8% better fuel efficiency.

Dual front airbags, side curtain airbags that have a rollover sensing system, and ABS add to the safety of the 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer’s ride. A new occupant sensing system has been introduced from this year that senses a front passenger. The interiors have been given a brighter look, and seating has been improved.
