2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT2

Chevy’s lower-midlevel, rear-wheel-drive 2009 TrailBlazer LT2 midsize SUV offers five doors, seating for five passengers, and 80 cubic feet of cargo space with the rear seats folded down. Additional standard exterior and interior features over those of its LT1 compatriot include all-terrain tires, remote keyless entry, available power-adjustable pedals, a 3.73 rear axle ratio, and an available Cargo Convenience Package.

Packing a standard 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder (I6) engine and four-speed automatic transmission, the ’09 Chevy TrailBlazer LT2 generates 285 hp and 276 lb-ft of torque. This power translates into 5,900 pounds of towing capacity and 15/21 mpg.
