Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
We have driven our Trailblazer 135,000 km. Replaced tensioner pulley under warranty and one strut. No other repairs. Replaced tires at 87,000 km and changed the diff. fluids. Great riding vehicle. Still looks great. Living in central Canada it's nice to have the 2, all and 4 wheel drive options. Another nice option is the lift glass in the rear door. Makes loading easier and nothing falls out when you open it. Carries up to 8 if 4/5 are children or 6 comfortably for shorter trips.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Overall gas mileage could be improved but one has to pay for the options, including a great towing capability, and storage capacity of this vehicle. We get in the low 20's on the highway. It can drop 2/3 mph into heavy winds. Tailwinds can mean 25 to 27 mpg. Higher speeds do not impact mileage as we have driven on many interstates at 80mph and no deterioration in gas consumption (we actually got 29 mpg 3 times with a strong tailwind running at 75/80 mpg on an Interstate). The only interior suggestion is the middle seats are a bit too close to the front ones and are fixed. Gas costs are only part of the operating costs and with minimal repairs our overall experience has been excellent.

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Love the Bose stereo system, cruise control, GPS sys., onstar,and dvd player. I also like the way the back seat lays completely flat.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Most everything under the hood. Fluids that are used under hood should be available at places besides dealership.

2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
I do like all of the "extras" but I would NEVER recommend a GM car to anyone and I definitely would never purchase one again. I've been to the dealership for repairs so often that my truck would probably be considered a straight lemon. Never again!!!

Pros: What do you like about 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
Overall performance is ok but minor things break like the console door, the gas gauge, and the lumbar adjuster on the drivers seat.

Cons: How would you improve 2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
more attention to detail, improve fit and finish, and find better suppliers for parts used. a 2 year old vehicle should not have the gas gauge quit working after 2 years.

2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
Overall appearance is nice but the small details and overall fit and finish are lacking. performance is good but mileage could be better.

2005 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review:
I have problems with my trialblazer with excelleration and can coast for miles without my foot on the pedal, yet they can't find anything wrong with it. Several people have driven it and experienced the same problem. Now my AC quit working (not even having it 2 years) and the brake alarm is on constantly on the dash. I knew I should have bought a Ford.
