Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
MOVE THE AIRBAG OFF/ON DISPLAY TO SOME WHERE ON THE INSTRUMENT PANEL- INSTEAD OF ON THE REARVIEW MIRROR. NEED TO IMPROVE BACK SEAT, IT DOES NOT LAY DOWN FLAT- THE HEAD REST IS IN THE WAY. THE CONSOLE LID HAS A PROBLEM OF NOT STAYING OPEN, WHEN YOU WANT IT TO- NEEDS TO OPEN TOWARD THE PASSENGER SEAT.

Pros: What do you like about 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
It has great power, comfort and plenty of room. The exterioir look is excellent.

Cons: How would you improve 2006 Chevrolet TrailBlazer?
The headlight system is terrible. If you are on a dark road and can't use your high beams you can't see a thing becaues the light is is cut to come off the vehicle thru a two inch in hight opening off the plastic light casing. Its totaly ridiculous. I have had people cross in front of me and all I can see is their feet. Totaly a ridiculous design. I would never see a deer untill it was to late. I can not see side roads that are coming up even if I know they are there.
I thought I was getting the same radio that I had in my 2002 blazer. Well it looked the same but its a total peice of crap.
I am very dissapointed with it and chevy said they can't upgraded it.
The head lamps are an issue that I am still dealing with.The rear seats do not go down flat unless you move the front seats all the way up. The heating a/c instruments are hard to see, the whole instrument panel is cramped. My 2002 blazer had so much more console room. The emergency brake is on the center console which is also ridicolous. They cheapened the interioir so much and took so much away that my next vehicle may not be a Trailblazer and the one I drive now is my 4th one.
