2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer
Chevrolet’s Trailblazer is a midsize SUV available in three different models; the LS, LT, and SS. The price for the various models ranges between $25,780.00 and around $36,000.00, depending on the optional features a purchaser chooses. The Trailblazer is four-wheel drive and comes equipped with fuel management technology to aid in diminishing some of the high cost of gas for the larger vehicles. With this technology a V-8 engine the automobile will automatically switch to four cylinders for highway driving to save on gas usage.
Other amenities which make these SUV’s desirable are their overall aesthetics combined with their durable usability. Many parents dislike the look and feel of the standard mini-van, opting instead for the more pleasing design of the SUV. For the family of five, where the standard sedan will no longer fit the children and safety seats, with the extra needs of the growing family, an SUV is a good and reliable choice. This vehicle is spacious enough to hold a family and versatile enough to use for hauling objects. Another great feature is the towing hitch, located on each model; many drivers make great use of this for towing recreational vehicles and boats for weekend adventures. The trailblazer is mounted on a truck frame and is sturdy enough for extensive hauling; making this as advantageous for work use as it is to run errands in town or in getting the driver to work.
 Each Trailblazer is equipped with front and side air bags to add to the safety of the car and the driver’s overall health in the event of an accident. They come with anti-lock breaks and what Chevrolet calls the Stabilitrak, an electronic system designed to help the driver maintain stability on icy roads or emergency cases. The electronic stability system is especially desirable in colder climates where icy rain and in climate conditions that can make roads treacherous. Each Trailblazer is equipped with the On Star system, and a one year enrollment in their Safe and Sound Plan comes with the purchase of the vehicle. On Star comes with a variety of features and connects drivers with live representatives for any type of emergency assistance. On Star can also track your location in case of an accident where you’re not able to give your whereabouts to a rescue worker. Another great benefit with the On Star system; Turn by Turn Navigation allows you to ascertain directions to any location with verbal directions walking you through every turn in the road.
Despite the fuel management system, the Trailblazer is still an SUV so the gas mileage will be higher than the more compact cars. But the interior is roomy enough to fit passengers and the safety features are a great asset to the family’s needs. Trailblazers can be equipped with roof racks to aid in weekend adventures, camping trips, and extended vacations in the car. Bicycle roof racks as well as canoe racks can also be installed for the outdoor adventurer.
Though the Trailblazer is a large SUV, the suspension system is advanced, allowing for a smooth ride to any traveler, with very limited road noise when the windows and doors are sealed. The exterior is available in tones of metallic, tan, white, red, blue, and gray. The interior is available in fabric or leather in varying colors.
