In its sixth year of production, the 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer continues to provide something for everyone. All trim levels provide a comfortable ride for five passengers, good towing capability and ample cargo space.

There are three trim levels available: LS, LT and the SS. The LS and LT trims come standard with a 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine that makes a healthy 291 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 277 ft-lbs of torque at 4800 rpm. The optional 5.3L V8 engine is available on either the LS or LT trims and makes 302 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 330 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 rpm.

In its sixth year of production, the 2007 Chevrolet TrailBlazer continues to provide something for everyone. All trim levels provide a comfortable ride for five passengers, good towing capability and ample cargo space.

The LS and LT trims come standard with a 4.2L inline six-cylinder engine that makes a healthy 291 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 277 ft-lbs of torque at 4800 rpm. The optional 5.3L V8 engine is available on either the LS or LT trims and makes 302 horsepower at 5200 rpm and 330 ft-lbs of torque at 4000 rpm. The 5.3L V8 sports the impressive active fuel management feature that deactivates four of the eight cylinders and propels the vehicle on just four cylinders in instances where extra power is not needed. The transition from eight to four cylinders and back is virtually undetectable and helps boost fuel economy.

Standard equipment includes 17-inch alloy wheels, four-wheel anti-lock disc brakes, power windows and locks, OnStar, cruise control, air conditioning, a CD player with XM satellite radio, and StabiliTrak stability control system.

The LT trim adds features such as a roof rack, fog lamps, power mirrors, power front seats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel with audio controls, and automatic dual-zone climate control.

For those wanting a sporty SUV, the TrailBlazer offers its SS trim level in either 2WD or AWD versions. The SS TrailBlazer includes a sport-tuned suspension, 20-inch alloy wheels, heavy duty front disc brakes, a limited-slip rear differential, quicker ratio steering, and the Corvette-based LS2 6.0L V8 engine, as well as other changes. These enhancements create an aggressive look outside and some serious acceleration with sub six second 0-60 mph times. Power reaches 395 horsepower 5400 rpm and 400 ft-lbs of torque at 4400 rpm.

Notable options on all trim levels include a rear seat DVD entertainment system, Bose premium speaker system and power sunroof.

At less than $26,000 the 2WD LS offers impressive standard equipment for the price. A loaded 4WD LT V8 TrailBlazer can push just past the $40,000 mark. Pricing for the 2WD SS TrailBlazers start at $31,320 with destination charge. An AWD SS TrailBlazer will run a minimum of $34,355.
For 2007, the Chevy TrailBlazer loses its available extended wheelbase version. A tire pressure monitoring system is now standard on all trim levels. see less

This mid-size SUV shares platforms with the GMC Envoy, Buick Rainier, and Saab 9-7X. It features body-on-frame construction and is available in LS, LT, and high-performance SS versions, with the latter offering a 6.0-liter, 395-horsepower V-8 engine and other functional and cosmetic upgrades. Base models are powered by a 4.2-liter in-line six-cylinder engine offering 291 horsepower, with a 5.3-liter V-8 optional. All engines are paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, but SS models get a heavy-duty version. Other SS-specific features included a lowered suspension, 20-inch wheels, and heavy-duty brakes with larger 12.8-inch front discs. The SS is available with either rear- or all-wheel drive. Major options on the TrailBlazer for '07 include a Sun, Sound, and Entertainment package, which combines a power sunroof, rear-seat DVD entertainment system, Bose premium speaker system, XM Satellite Radio, and an AM/FM stereo with six-disc CD changer. Adjustable brake and accelerator pedals, head side-curtain airbags, inside rearview mirror with temperature gauge and compass, leather seating surfaces with eight-way-power driver and passenger seats, sunroof, and both factory- and dealer-installed running boards may also be ordered. StabiliTrak stability control is standard on all trims; curtain airbags are optional.
