Well we just sold our pice of ---- 2002 ford escape. The trans went out, then the transfer case bearings went bad, then the cat went bad, then the oil pan gasket, then the balljoints, the list goes on and on....... ------- money pit. So Ive been looking at the 06 and 07 trailblazers. I know that all the chevys interor rattels and ---- after time, but what are some of the major problems they have? Thats where I would like some of you gm Technicians to chime in. It dose have a 4.2 straight six witch I thought was pretty pimp, and I will be getting the 4X4 one. We want a bigger suv for towing, camping, road trips and hauling our dog around in. SO whats up with them, are they piles or what?

my boy works at a body shop and says the frames are made formteh hardest steel hes ever seen. When he has to put them on the frame machine he can load it up with like 19 tons and it hardley moves or bends at all, so they can be expsenive to repair body wise.

thats what insurance and low deductables are for


as for the trailblazers, they are pretty decent suv's. the engines are strong and reliable as are the trans. obviously, you will find those that have had issues, but to put the few issues into perspective vs how many have not had those issues.... you can see where i am going.

plus GM is on the upswing with their warranties and such. just make sure you get the powertrain warranty and your golden.

my mom has an 06 2x4.w/ the inline six....its alright but i could think of a better suv....it dose have plenty of cargo room, it can fit 6 comfortably, and it big, lol that all i can say about it.....

honda pilot is pretty cool, my sis got one and shes had no problems with it 120k miles... shes literally spent nothing but maintance, brakes, tires etc on it since brand new in 03

I really like the mdx and the pilot but even used with all the options I that I want its a little out of my price range. I have 10k to put down and Im not going to spend more than $200 a month on payments.

I just got an 06 with like 28K on the clock and financed for about 19K, payments in the 240 range. Sticker said like 26 and change i think we got it for around 25 or something with a 2K dp. after that was done we told him we had a trade in and HAD to get like i think we said 5 for a 02 POS Sentra GXE.

Its loaded with leather heated seats and navi and i love it. drives like a big accord and moves pretty quick too out runs the inline 4 jeep and the mazdaspeed wagon thingys that are runnin around. 3rd row is usable gets great mileage IMO for what you get. had it for 3 months or something and still love it.
