As they prepared this exhaustive review of the 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, the experts at TheCarConnection.com included a wide range of critical voices and review sources. TheCarConnection.com's editors have driven the TrailBlazer and include their own impressions where useful.
The TrailBlazer, Chevrolet's mid-size SUV, shares its platform with the GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, and Saab 9-7X. The 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is built on a frame--a layout typical of pickups and older-design SUVs built for hauling and towing--and hasn't seen a full redesign in many years now.
