2004 chevrolet trailblazer review this car review is specific to this model, not the actual vehicle for sale. Smooth and civilized, but ready to blaze trails. introductionchevrolet trailblazer is powerful, rugged and capable, yet smooth, comfortable and civilized. Its rigid chassis, sophisticated suspension, powerful brakes and impressive details place it among the best of the mid-size suvs. It comes standard, but a v8 is available as an option. The ext needs the v8 due to its heavier weight. Due to its much longer length, the ext lacks the handling and stability that make the standard trailblazer great. Equipped with the v8, a trailblazer ext 2wd model can tow up to 7,100 pounds. new options for 2004 include adjustable pedals, xm satellite radio, and navigation radio. lineupthe 2004 chevrolet trailblazer comes in just two trim levels, ls and lt. Additional option packages for the lt bundle automatic climate control, a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a driver information center, and rear seat audio controls 585-$1310); and heated leather seats with memory, power adjustable pedals, cd/cassette stereo, and power and heated foldaway mirrors 1360-$1605). Exclusive options for the lt include a bose sound system 495), and a rear-seat dvd entertainment center 1295). the north face edition 1525 on top of the price of a preferred-equipment lt, or $1725 on a preferred lt ext) includes all of the equipment listed above, plus unique north face seats, mesh map pockets, rainsense automatic wipers, headlamp washers, 17-inch wheels with on/off-road tires, liftgate lighting, an under-floor storage cargo liner, heavy-duty floor/cargo mats, an adjustable cargo shelf with a table (ext model only) and north face duffel bags and blanket. The north face also sports exterior clearance lights and some unique exterior identification. A locking differential 270), two-tone paint 150) and skid plates (with 4wd, $130) are mandatory options with the north face edition. trailblazer ext ls 29,695) and trailblazer ext lt 31,595) are equipped with third-row seating and separate rear-seat heating and air conditioning controls. A sliding electric sunroof is available for all models 550-$800). A trailer-hitch is standard on all trailblazers. The standard final drive ratio for trailblazer and ext is 3. 42:1; 3. 73 and 4. 10 ratios are available 50) for more responsive towing though the 4. 10 ratio is not available with the v8 engine. Gm's onstar security system is also offered as a stand-alone option 1235 on ls, $870 on lt). It provides gps tracking, cell phone communication, and emergen. walkaroundtrailblazer's styling helped blaze the trail for the latest chevy truck design. It's an aggressive look with bold headlamps and a split grille. The horizontal bar that splits the grille, headlamps and turn signals is chromed on the ls, body-colored on the lt. The front bumper features a large opening with two vertical slats, and the optional foglights are mounted down low. The front end of the trailblazer makes it look like a scaled-down suburban or silverado. overall, trailblazer looks sturdy and neat, with confident lines that express utility. The pillars and window lines are graceful, while big fender flares are visually bold. At the rear is a convenient step in the center of the bumper. The stacked round taillights look lumpy and googly eyed. the track (the distance between the left and right tires) is the widest in the class, 2. 2 inches wider than the explorer in front and nearly an inch wider in rear. The seven-seat trailblazer ext is 16 inches longer in wheelbase than the standard five-seat trailblazer. interiorpeople either like the relatively cushy seats in gm trucks or they don't. Seat adjustments are manual in ls. Eight-way power operation with memory (including outside mirror adjustment) and seat heaters are available on fully optioned lt models. Chevrolet says the trailblazer's front bucket seats are designed to accommodate heights ranging from 4 feet 10 inches to 6 feet 2 inches. New for 2004 are optional adjustable pedals 150), allowing shorter drivers to move the brake and accelerator pedals up to three inches closer for better positioning and comfort without having to move to close to the airbag-equipped steering wheel. It's a great feature and is popular among women. standard-wheelbase trailblazers seat five passengers, while trailblazer exts seat seven. The main advantage of the ext is that third row. Second-row space is nearly identical between trailblazer and trailblazer ext. The corresponding numbers for the trailblazer ext are 38. 5, 45. 9, and 31. 2.) trailblazer ext is 2. 6 inches wider than explorer, which accounts for the additional hip room. But clearly, the explorer's independent rear suspension, and resulting low floor, allowed ford to pack more leg and head room into a significantly shorter wheelbase. a monochrome instrument panel is new for 2004. The instrumentation is complete and clean. A big tachometer is on the left, speedometer in center, and on the right are smaller gauges for water, battery, gas and oil. Heating and air conditioning can be controlled separately by the driver and front-seat passenger. Ext models add separate climate controls for rear-seat passengers as well. Interior lights abound, including reading lights. the center console includes an open storage bin, an enclosed compartment and two cupholders forward of the gear lever (plus two more for the rear passengers). There are pockets in the front doors and behind the front seats, though none in the rear doors. Standard behind the rear seat is a small hidden compartment under the floor, while optional features include a cargo net, scrolling tonneau cover and power outlet. An overhead console standard on the lt includes a sunglasses holder, plus travelnote digital recorder. available sound systems include radio/cd, radio/cd/cassette, six-disc in-dash cd, or six-speaker 275-watt bose system. We found the bose system offered outstanding sound quality and adjustment versatility. All the systems include rds (radio data systems) technology, allowing the listener to search for stations by type, display information including song and artist information, and provide traffic and weather updates. Also available is a rear-seat dvd entertainment system 1295), with a seven-inch flip-down screen and wireless headphones. Xm satellite radio 325) is available on all trailblazers in the continental u. S., and provides 100 coast-to-coast, digital-quality channels of original music, news.
