New Chevrolet Trailblazer Introduction Chevrolet TrailBlazer is powerful, rugged and capable, yet smooth, comfortable and civilized. Its rigid chassis, sophisticated suspension, powerful brakes and impressive details place it among the best of the mid-size SUVs. It's stable and manuverable, and provides a smooth ride. It handles rough washboard surfaces well and is capable off-road, offering a sophisticated four-wheel-drive system and skid plates. TrailBlazer comes standard with a superbly smooth and modern inline six-cylinder engine. An extended-wheelbase model called the TrailBlazer EXT adds three-row seating, accomodating up to seven people. It comes standard with the same excellent six-cylinder engine, but a new V8 is also available. New for 2005, the Vortec 5300 V8 with its Displacement on Demand technology promises about 8 percent better fuel economy than the engine it replaces. Equipped with the V8, a 2WD Trailblazer EXT can tow up to 7,000 pounds. The EXT needs the V8 due to its heavier weight, and because of its much greater length, the EXT lacks the handling and stability that make the standard TrailBlazer such a great family vehicle. Curtain side-impact airbags with a rollover sensing system designed to provide increased head protection are available on 2005 models. Also new is an occupant-sensing system for the front passenger-side airbag. There are also improved seats, refinements to the navigation system and more bright trim for the interior. Trailblazer comes in two trim levels, LS and LT. Each is available in regular and extended wheelbase lengths, with two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. Long-wheelbase Trailblazers are called Trailblazer EXT, and stretch 16 inches longer in wheelbase to provide a third row of seats for seven-passenger capacity. The base engine for all TrailBlazers is the Vortec 4200, a 4.2-liter inline-6 with dual overhead camshafts, four valves per cylinder, and variable phasing of the exhaust cam rated at 275 horsepower and 275 pounds-feet of torque. EXT buyers may opt for the Vortec 5300 5.3-liter overhead-valve V8 ($1500), rated 300 horsepower and 330 pound-feet of torque. Safety features include dual-stage driver and passenger airbags, which inflate with less intensity in slower crashes. Side-impact head-curtain airbags are optional ($495).
