The trailblazer means a lot to me, it's the first car i drove and still driving it daily use. It's my dad's car and i drove it when i was 13 to the hospital when my dad had a heart attack and passed away. I can't give it up at any cost.

[@jameswolfe1487]

Amazing what a vehicle does for us eh? Not everyone has to like it. Just matters if it means something to you.

[@jonatangonzalez1786]

How many miles does it have ?

[@astro9744]

My parents took me home when I was born in this trailblazer, and now I am going to be driving that same trailblazer as my first vehicle, so much nostalgia and history I have had with this vehicle.

[@hakeemsd70m]

Straight nostalgia. I grew up with GM vehicles, and the TrailBlazer has always been one of my personal favorite trucks. Great review and video. 5 stars!

[@Tregaskis47]

I have owned a 2002 Envoy and a 2008 Trailblazer...the 6 cyl engine was an award winning design that seems to basically run forever. Great cars even today. In my town in Northern California there are still dozens of TB and Envoy's running around.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

I get 21 to 22 mpg on the interstate at 70 mph. 22 to 23 mpg at 65 mph on the 04 LT Trailblazer I6

[@thecarexpert21]

Man! This thing is CLEAN!

[@blackericdenice]

I have a 2004 TB with 185k miles. I've own this truck sense 2008. It was getting 15.5 mpg when I bought it. The last 7 years it had been getting 14.3 mpg. I google 2004 Trailblazer bad mpg and someone said to change the map sensor. I bought one from Autozone $80 and my mpg has gone up from 14.3 to 15.5 to 16.5 and yesterday I got 18.56 mpg after 20 miles why drive. I didn't have a cel light and the truck was running fine. I will be uploading a video soon.

[@soldatolacrimosa1868]

I have a 2002 Chevrolet Trailblazer with 189,000 miles. It is still almost mint and I average 18.3 mpg. It is a great vehicle.

[@soldatolacrimosa1868]

@@Masonn14325 I changed the filter and added new fluid one time.

[@SpacemanNik]

Really loved the ending bit on the nostalgia of the car. I'm a 2002 baby and got a blue 2005 LS for my sixteenth birthday. It means so much to me, all the places and events I've taken it to. Still running strong into my junior year of college 40,000 miles later and still going strong.

[@joseCalderon1976]

My 2003 chevy trailblazer with 198k miles is still going strong. I take care of it. It's very reliable. Back when GM was marking good vehicles. I bought mine when it had 100k miles. I would never sell that vehicle. I get 17 mpg highway miles and about 16 miles per gallon combined. The engine and transmission are very good if you take care of them. I've had no issues finding regular parts for my trailblazer like radiator, brakes etc. Subscribed

[@miljororforsprakpartiet290]

Ah I love 2000's American vehicles. Always pleasant to drive and had tons of character.

[@jeffgordon9103]

I have one of my own. It's an LS. It's my second (first frame rotted out) I just love how it looks . Bellteck lowering kit and 20 in.XD's gives it a cool look. 😎

[@randommcplayer625]

Me too same aggressive and also simple

[@doraemontranslated]

also have a 04 Chevrolet TrailBlazer LT with the G80 Locker option, had it since 2009 with the 4.2L I6, bought it with 92000 miles and now it has 173800 miles and still running very smooth

[@BreakingChains383]

Loved my 02 LT. Hearing that Vortec engine and having the option of 4 or 2-WD was so reassuring driving down the road. Many good memories in that truck.

[@JMDrives]

This dude's format is kinda Doug Demuro, but in reverse order. Similarly on the details as well. And a lot less chill than Doug-over-acting-Demuro. Clean review man!

[@alecvenable7488]

I drive a 2003 GMC Envoy XL. Had it since 139,000 miles and it now has 250,000+miles. Still runs great and I love it. It's had some problems through the years, but nothing I haven't been able to fix myself. I would say the strongest component of these trucks is the motor. Very bullet proof.

[@voidisyinyangvoidisyinyang885]

I'm at 278K and got the remans transmission, plus new suspension, and repair kit welding on the chassis and trailing arm mounts (I did my own tailgate repair that looks like stucco from all the polyurethane I used but it stopped the rust!) - along with all the standard TSB repairs over the years (actually two replacements of the fan clutch did not fix the AC since the dealer neglected to upgrade the PCM as per the TSB - instead the dealer noted the TSB was now outdated and so they decided not to do it - strange reasoning. Another dealer ex-mechanic said they ALWAYS upgraded the PCM when fixing the Air conditioner. haha.). I live in a cold state - so I can live without AC. The TB looks terrible - I fixed the rust but I just did a paint mess on the body - but as you say the "motor is the strongest component." So far the motor has held up. I'm hoping to get 500K out of the car. Unfortunately the CD player just started not working - seems to be a digital glitch. So not sure I want to get that fixed or replaced.... That's a big drag but I could just plug in a CD player via the 12 volt power somehow.

[@danieljacobs7594]

[@austinseebold5435]

Nice Trailblazer and have a 2004 LT myself which I upgraded and can get 24mpg. Put a high flow air filter and muffler on getting rid of the resonator, performance tune and good Iridium plugs. It also has a very comfortable ride!

[@dylanmooney327]

2:57 The Oldsmobile Bravada was also another rebadged version of the car

I like this generation of trailblazer. In fact, I prefer this to the 2020/2021 model. I know they're not the same, but still.

12-14 mpg is about correct on my 2004 LS

[@dylank4353]

For interstate speeds ( 75 to 80) I would get about a high of like 19 on a good day, and finally get the 21 mpg with the wind at my back.

[@TheEpicGypsy]

Great review! I wish they would bring back that straight 6 because it's reliable, i literally just bought an '06 TrailBlazer LT, minty fresh, clean, no rust, not even any dents, and runs like a dream with a whopping 287,000 miles on it. It really is a testament to whatever it may be you have, as long as you take care of it, it'll take care of you. I'll do a video on it after i do my first 1k miles with it.

[@nicktjonatjieuw]

Man, you are knee slapping funny! Thanks for the review, am considering buying one of these. I just might after seeing your review!

[@nathanstiltner5759]

The first version this model on the dealer floor was the Oldsmobile Bravada. However, this was just as they announced the end of the Oldsmobile brand. Interestingly, in the one I saw in the dealership, the little compartment in the back trunk actually had an air compressor w/ hose for pumping up your tires. I still have my 02 Chevrolet TrailblazerLS. Still love it at 217K. Biggest complaint is that noisy plastic interior compare to the quietness of a Honda Pilot at 190K. But I've towed my father's garden tractor around just fine and it's always had enough power and speed to do everything I've asked of it. And it's 4WD system has never disappointed.

[@dafordkidfilms2264]

My first car was a 2002 Trailblazer. It was the extended version of it. Shit was a bullet, but wasn’t maintained well. Despite being a bit of a pain, car does bring memories and was really good.

[@RetroCaptain]

Keep the transmission and transfer case fluids fresh. They were not built super tough!! Driven gently and regular checkups for electrical problem resolving and fliud renewal they will last a long time. The engine is really tough, the transmission is teeny inside and easy to break. Adding a cooler really adds life to it.

[@markrountree7031]

The 2002-2004 Oldsmobile Bravada has this same engine as well.

Knew about the badged engineered other cars, but not the Izuzu.

[@MrTricksterWins]

I get about 18mph, on back roads. And letting it coast as much as possible. That’s one thing I love about mine is that it doesn’t engine break much. I let off the gas and it just rolls. Unlike many engines that will slow the car down.

[@TheTinyAutistsGuideToTheGalaxy]

I never thought about it but you’re right.

[@charlesmchoop3007]

Man, those Trailblazers are great to buy budget wise. Also the 4.2 inline six is bulletproof just like the 3800 Series that Buick gave us. Still looking forward for an Tahoe/Yukon/Escalade that will be in way worse condition, way more milage for probably more money but the 5.3 & LQ9 6.0 get you nearly the same gas milage. Only complaint about those Trailblazers.

My biggest gripe with the SS is that the LS2 doesn't have much in the way of modding... Still an awesome car.

[@Black-Villain]

Get an upgraded trans cooler, really extends the life of the 4L60E. It won't last long if you don't. Also look into getting the Saab or Oldsmobile version, they're much nicer to drive and have a better interior and you can usually find them cheaper

[@spacefacegaming]

Oh ok thx

[@Black-Villain]

@@spacefacegaming also the V8 has DOD, ask if it's been deleted or listen for a ticking noise, when it fails it grenades the engine. Depending on how much and how often you're towing, the 4.2 might be enough, I have a Saab with the 4.2 and use it to pull my cars on occasion and it's fine, and there's no DOD to worry about. 06 and up are the best 4.2 years

The 4.2 has a zero to 60 @ 6.1 sec, & a 1/4 mile of 14.6sec @ 92mph The 5.3 has a zero to 60 @ 6 sec, & a 1/4 mile of 14.2sec @ 101mph AND THE SS... Zero to 60 @ 5.5 sec, & 1/4 mile of 13.8sec @ 99mph That 4200 is only 0.6 of a second slower than the SS model $ giving away 100 hp to it. But that 4200 straight 6 will long outlive those v8's I don't think that is slow for a 4500 lb vehicle. You can buy a used 6 cyl for 1000 to 4500 bucks Now Go price a SS model. EXPENSIVE... For the cost savings you could cam and turbo that 4200, and it would destroy the SS.
