2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer Review
Overview
For rugged terrain and serious hauling one of those SUVs or crossovers built on a car platform just won’t do. You need the uncompromised capabilities of the only mid-size SUV that’s also a rock-solid Chevrolet Truck the 2009 TrailBlazer. It can handle the most demanding terrain thanks to the tremendous strength of full-length hydroformed steel frame rails and the traction of the standard Autotrac 4x4 system. The power is equally assured with two advanced and efficient engines: the award-winning 285 horse power Vortec 4.2L I-6 and the 390 horse power LS2 6.0L V8. Sure TrailBlazer is comfortable. It includes a standard power six-way driver’s seat with power recliner – and dual-zone climate controls. But there are a lot more perks including in-dash six-disc CD changer Bose premium sound system and XM Satellite RadioTM. And for 2009 Bluetooth technology is standard on SS and LT 1SC models so you can safely call your friends and family and tell them all about your TrailBlazer driving experience. Along the journey you can take added reassurance from OnStar and the enhanced stability control of StabiliTrak. The mid-size SUV that’s built to handle the world you travel through. The 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer.
