Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review
2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer
Price Range: $29,155 - $39,330

Cost
The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. It costs approximately the same to get the Chevrolet TrailBlazer to the dealership as the average SUV. The Chevrolet TrailBlazer consumes a lot of gas compared to the typical SUV. The Chevrolet TrailBlazer won't tax your gas budget considerably more than the average SUV will. In terms of MSRP, the typical SUV costs considerably more than the TrailBlazer.

Utility
The average SUV will most certainly prove more practical than the Chevrolet TrailBlazer for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. There's no clear winner between the average SUV and the Chevrolet TrailBlazer in terms of transporting cargo. Towing is substantially more the TrailBlazer's forte than it is the average SUV's.

Convenience
You will definitely have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the TrailBlazer than with the average SUV.

Comfort
While the front cabin in the typical SUV offers a bit more head room than the TrailBlazer, there honestly isn't much of a difference. The average SUV is not particularly more spacious for your passengers than the Chevrolet TrailBlazer.

Dimensions
The average SUV's tank is almost the same size as the Chevrolet TrailBlazer's, though the Chevrolet TrailBlazer's is a little larger. The average SUV and the Chevrolet TrailBlazer compete for the same parking spaces.

Handling
With their comparable turning radii, the Chevrolet TrailBlazer and the average SUV most definitely handle almost the same into and out of tight spots.

Drivetrain
The average SUV and the TrailBlazer have similar-sized engines, with a slight advantage to the TrailBlazer. Torque is roughly equivalent to acceleration, and in this respect, the TrailBlazer isn't much more powerful than the average SUV.

Warranty
The basic warranty that comes with the Chevrolet TrailBlazer isn't quite as generous as the typical SUV's.
