The Chevy Trailblazer gets XM Satellite Radio and head curtain side airbags as standard equipment for 2008 on all models. Three new exterior colors grace the new model year lineup; Dark Cherry Metallic, Black Granite Metallic and Desert Brown Metallic.
The standard engine in TrailBlazer is the Vortec 4.2-liter inline six-cylinder, which produces 285 horsepower and 276 lb.-ft. of torque. Also available is the Vortec 5.3-liter small-block V-8, which includes Active Fuel Management. It is rated at 300 horsepower and 321 lb.-ft. of torque. Regulated voltage control for the Vortec 4.2 and 5.3 engines enhances fuel economy by reducing the load on the engine generated by the alternator.
TrailBlazer uses hydroformed steel frame side rails, which form a strong foundation for the truck's overall strength and solid feel, even on unpaved surfaces. A five-link rear suspension and independent, double-A-arms up front work with a system of 12 specially tuned body mounts using hydraulics and rubber pads to dramatically reduce vibration and harshness on any kind of road or trail. Four-wheel ventilated anti-lock disc brakes are standard. An Autotrac four-wheel drive system is standard on 4WD models.
TrailBlazer's options list includes a power sunroof, a rear-seat DVD entertainment system and Bose premium speaker system.
