The 2008 Chevrolet TrailBlazer, part of the second generation of the model, is a traditional mid-size SUV that comes with two available trims: the LT and the high-performance SS. The standard 4.2L I-6 engine produces 285 horsepower, while the 6.0L V8 engine in the SS trim offers a hefty 395 horsepower. Both engines are paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, and consumers have a choice between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive. The TrailBlazer's OnStar system offers features like navigation and hands-free calling. Despite its age, the TrailBlazer offers some standard safety features like stability control, anti-lock brakes and curtain airbags. Its rugged body-on-frame construction allows for impressive towing capabilities, but it also adds to the weight and compromises on fuel economy.
