From the Back Seat
Damon Bell
395 horsepower makes virtually any vehicle a hoot to drive. The TrailBlazer SS's handling and interior refinement leave a bit to be desired, but few vehicles on the market offer this kind of power with this kind of room for this kind of money.
Ed Piotrowski
TrailBlazer SS is an interesting experiment in further examining the capabilities of this SUV's platform, dated though it may be. There aren't too many vehicles that can go like this one, yet are capable to carry a lot of cargo or tow 5,000 lb. This is what to buy when your significant other won't let you have a GTO.
