Used Chevrolet Trailblazer for Sale near Thornton, IL

Just had to say goodbye to my trailblazer after 15 years. Was incredibly reliable until the end, then just got to be too much to keep fixing, though it still has lots of life left. One problem I did have that never got resolved was the dashboard indicators got out of sync, and couldnt fix without taking the whole thing apart. Appeared to be a somewhat common problem, though that happened sometime around 2020.

I love the handling of this car. I also love the sleek design. I believe I got a good deal. The next time I get a Trailblazer, possibly an LTZ , with all the bells and whistles. I bought an RS which doesnt include the automatic hatchback or the side mirror alert which I miss.

Feels a little gutless and the cloth seats are not very nice looking, it does have good safety features that are standard but not a lot of options in the lower trim level that are standard in my opinion anyways.

Over all my 02 TB ltz 4wd has been a very good to me. Has towed trailer & not missed a beat. Shes needed parts replaced under hood but At 265,000 miles she still starts right up. Right now she sits & dont know why? Driving 65 on highway it felt like I went into neutral. No lights, codes, noises, no warning at all. Got towed home & there she sits!

The trailblazer is an outstanding vehicle. With the inline 6-cylinder instead of the usual V6, you get more torque for hauling than usual. Plenty of cargo space to begin with, but also has fold down seats for more. Though no longer in production, there is a wealth of aftermarket parts available for customization. Low-end torque is an issue with the I6, but mid-to-high RPMs let out plenty. Braking is good and despite its size, this baby turns on a dime, making tight parking lots a breeze. Having owned this truck for almost 5 years now and being over 8 years old, I have never had to make any serious, expensive repairs until just recently when the ball joints on my front suspension went bad, severely throwing off my alignment and requiring immediate replacement. Other than that, the most common problem I've read about with this truck the fan clutch giving out, one of the few and most common issue that is complained about in the Trailvoy (Trailblazer/Envoy - built on the same platform with the same engine) community. A pretty simple and relatively inexpensive repair, with a new fan clutch running you about $200 at your local parts store like AutoZone. The appearance is great in my opinion. Not too big and bulky like other larger SUVs and plenty of aftermarket parts available for the expansive imagination. Manufacturer states 14/20 MPG, but with a K&N air filter and removed resonator, I do about 16/22. Not fantastic, but it in the end, it's still an SUV. All-in-all, I enjoy driving my Trailblazer. It has plenty of power, superb handling for an SUV, and a large following in the TrailVoy community that earns it a memorable and dependable reputation.
