Chevy Trailblazer Used Buying Guide

• The earlier TrailBlazer was around for 7 years. Coming as an SUV, this one may be a bit harder to find given its age, but it will do what you need it to.
• The more fuel-efficient Trailblazers are the Activ and RS. It comes with a 1.3L engine, able to get 31 MPG combined. Making these great vehicles for family road trips.
• The top-of-the-line trims come with unique looks, while the lower-end trims give the model a solid foundation to build on.

While the name was used on the Blazer trim, this is the first time it became its vehicle. All models had 4WD as an option, coming with Auto, 2-High, 4-High, and 4-Low gearings. If you manage to find an SS model, this will come with an AWD system.

This comes with an independent front suspension and a five-link rear suspension. Some models might come with locking rear differentials, as this was an optional feature.

If you want the most, then you can look for the LTZ trim level. This comes with a leather interior, upgraded sound system, and alloy wheels. No matter the trim level, all models come with a detachable towing hitch.

If you’re looking for something a bit longer, then you can look for the EXT version. This is 16 inches longer and has a higher roof. Making it easier to get into the third row. Making it the best option for those who will have a fully packed TrailBlazer.

Having been dormant for 10+ years, the Trailblazer is back. Going on sale in 2020, the 2021 models come with five trims. These trims are the L, LS, LT, Activ, and RS. The RS and Activ both come with dual exhaust and top-of-the-line features. To make them even more distinct, they come with contrasting roof colors.

In the US, there are three core trims. These are the L, LS, and LT. They provide the building blocks to the lineup. If you want a more rugged look for this great family vehicle, then you can look for the Activ trim. The RS gives a more sporty look, making it great for those who want to stand out on the road.

The L, LS, and LT trims are equipped with a 1.2L turbocharged engine. The RS and Activ both come equipped with a 1.3L engine. If you manage to find an LS and LT trim that is AWD, you also have access to the 1.3L engine.

While the 1.3L engine is larger, it is also more fuel-efficient than the 1.2L. The 1.3L has an EPA-rated 31 MPG combined. While the 1.2L has an EPA-rated 29 MPG.

For the 2024 model, you can find a new look for the Trailblazer. This comes with a new front fascia, new front bumper, and new running lights, and the interior sees the addition of an 11-inch infotainment screen.

Having gone through some changes, this one is and was one of the best vehicles on the market. If you want to see our inventory in person, then come on down to Scarpa Motors!
