Pros: smooth ride and handling, roomy, fuel economy
Cons: engineering quirks, seat comfort, first model year bugaboo
The Bottom Line: Chevy's updated version of the Blazer seems a winner -- for the diehard "buy American only" shopper, this is a "must evaluate."
Within the past year or so, I've had the chance to drive three different 2001 SUVs on weeklong rentals: a Dodge Durango, a Jeep Cherokee, and a Ford Expedition. If the truth be told, I wasn't particularly impressed by any of the three, mainly because of...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Rides amazingly well, strong engine, styling, four-way lumbar
Cons: Seats provide no lateral support, some interior materials feel cheap, steering too light
The Bottom Line: The most appealing truck-based mid-sized SUV. Add another gear, beef up the front seats, and firm up the steering, and the TrailBlazer would be just about perfect.
It’s been a long time since General Motors has offered a competitive mid-sized SUV. The 2001 Blazer was just a moderately upgraded version of the SUV Chevrolet started selling in 1983. So the basic design, especially of the chassis, was very old. ...

Pros: Lots of interior space; good acceleration
Cons: No option for a third seat; steering a little rough
The Bottom Line: Chevrolet Trailblazer is better than the old Blazer and it can easily compete with the other SUV in its class.
Chevrolet has recently unveiled its new 2002 Trailblazer to the delight of SUV lovers everywhere. This new vehicle is supposedly going to replace the Blazer (although there are still 2002 models of the Blazer being manufactured), a Chevrolet icon that...

Pros: Power, ride, handling, interior, styling
Cons: Hard to maneuver in tight spaces, subpar mileage
The Bottom Line: It might be an SUV, but you'd never know it from driving it.
Generally, I don't like sport-utility vehicles. I think they're overweight, bulky, gas-guzzling monstrosities that have little place on the road. I recommend that you carefully evaluate your needs when considering an SUV. Truth be told, if you never...

Pros: The design, The room, The Cost
Cons: Gas Mileage
The Bottom Line: Great SUV for the money. Love the size, handling, design, everything about it!
First of all, this will not be a review containing horsepower information, 0 to 60 stats, true gas mileage charts, etc. There are plenty of reviews out there that do a good job of covering that information. This is my female review of the 2002 Chevy...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No 
Pros: strong engine, quiet and comfortable ride, looks
Cons: GM domestic car "annoyances"
CRACKED CYLINDER (see update)
The Bottom Line: Would still recommend for good looks, power, and ride, but beware the domestic pitfalls
RECEIVED A RECALL FROM CHEVY YESTERDAY ADDRESSING THE VIBRATION ISSUE I'VE DISCUSSED BELOW. IT IS INDEED A CRACKED CYLINDER. CHEVY, HOWEVER, WILL NOT REPLACE THE ENGINE. THE RECALL SAYS THAT IF THE ENGINE FAILS ANYTIME DURING THE 1ST 100,000 MILES,...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Ride feels smooth and powerful
Cons: Horrible stereo
The Bottom Line: I feel like an eco-terrorist driving a vehicle that gets such bad mileage, but it's a fun vehicle to drive.
The doors are nice and wide and allow my 8 and 10 year old sons to easily flip up the seats to they can climb into the "way back" as they call the third row of seats. On the EXT body style, the back doors are extra long and make ingress and egress very...

Pros: VERY POWERFUL, very smooth ride, very comfortable, very good value, EXTREMELY GOOD build quality.
Cons: NONE
The Bottom Line: If you want an SUV with class leading power, class leading fuel economy, class leading value, and with a class leading ride quality, and BOLD looks, go with the TrailBlazer.
The most dependable, longest-lasting trucks from Chevy.
It's no wonder that Americans love their Chevy trucks. They're the most dependable, longest- lasting trucks on the road. Chevy continues to offer America's most complete line of trucks which...

Pros: Smother ride, no more swaying, nice horse power.
Cons: Be carefull, the dash is only spray painted, don't use cleaners on the dash!!!!!!!!
The Bottom Line: (*0.0% Fin over,60 months or $3,000 rebate).I would recommend this vehicle,most powerful and dependable mid-size SUV.*subject to change 7-30-02(843)597-4100
I'm a proud owner of the best mid-size SUV on the road today.It is only 10 horse power less than a Tahoe. More horse power than the base model Ford Expidition and it doesn't blow-out tires. It's a great looking SUV, not a over sized beast. Great on the...

Author's Product Rating:  Recommended: No
Pros: Good looking SUV. Lots of leg room in rear seats. Plenty of power
Cons: GMs-dealership reaction to problems. Too many defect(Read my Review)
Poor gas mileage and resale value
The Bottom Line: The trailblazer has the good looks, but I had too many problems with this vehicle in the 1.5 years, and from this eye opening experience, Don't buy it.
I purchased my 2002 Trailblazer in July of 2001 in Vermont. Before winter hit the windshield wipers started to intermittently stop working before all together failing. I had the motor replaced and away I went. On the week before Thanksgiving 2002 the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Looks - Power - Winter Ability
Cons: Too many 'little' problems - Fit & Finish
The Bottom Line: Love the Looks and Power - But HATE the little things wrong with it. Chevy should fix these things before they roll off the assembly line.
We have the same feeling about our 02 Trailblazer LT - The looks and power are great...but the attention to detail is way off. Our SUV has 16000 miles on it and has been to the Dealership 3 times already.
Cons - 1st we brought it to the...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Comfortable, Stable, Road Worthy, Quiet Ride, And Very Very Quick/fast for an SUV
Cons: Seat belt not for a big man, Back seat angle hard on car seats.
The Bottom Line: If you are looking for comfort and reliability and don’t mind good looks. I would not look much further than the Chevrolet Trailblazer.
This review covers time spent (2000 miles) in a rental car. The vehicle was a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer rented from National Car rental. If you would like information on National Car Rental, please see my other reviews.

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Power, ride, lots of standard equipment, noise (lack of it), stereo, fuel economy, exterior styling
Cons: Some weird ergonomics, first model year growing pains, absence of tailgate lock
The Bottom Line: Good SUV, which provides a lot of bang for the buck when compared with rivals. Quality is a bit suspect, though, due to several warranty issues that have arisen.
This is a huge improvement over the old Blazer. The 270 hp engine is powerful, pretty quiet, and does very well on gas. I average about 18-19 mpg and can get about 21-22 on the highway. The ride is very good, both on the highway and on our dirt road....

Pros: Comfortable ride
Cons: Back Seats don't fold flat, doors lock by themselves & 4WD stopped working--all under warranty!!!
The Bottom Line: Overall, I like it and am glad I bought it. Before you buy one, ask about the problems I've encountered and see what has been done before investing your money.
I bought my Trail Blazer new in March of 2002. Overall, I like the vehicle...it is comfortable to r ...

Author's Product Rating: Recommended: Yes
Pros: Peppy (270 hp), quiet, roomy, competitively priced and easy on the eyes.
Cons: The icons representing wipers, A/C, windows, & locks, etc. are a bit confusing/annoying.
The Bottom Line: This is an awesome vehicle! Forget the over-priced Durango! THIS is the perfect mid-size SUV!!
I am so impressed with the TrailBlazer's performance, feel, appearance and LACK of sound! I honestly can't think of anything I would change or improve! (Except maybe the annoying little icons on all of the controls...)
My last vehicle was a...
