A lot has been said about the Chevrolet Trailblazer for 2006. As Chevrolet’s entry in the sport utility market the Trailblazer (and in this case specically the EXT LS version) has maintained a good reputation. The 4-door Trailblazer is especially appealing to wide market segment, making it a perfect truck to help Chevrolet as a brand in general.
The 2005 Chevrolet Trailblazer LT was introduced to compete in the sport utility market. The LT is a member of a series of four trim levels for the Trailblazer which include EXT LS and EXT LT. The four-door truck with its rear-wheel drive is positioned to aggressively fill this niche for Chevrolet. There is strong competition from vehicles from Hyundai.
The Trailblazer EXT North Face is equipped with a General Motors 4.2 liter six-cylinder engine that utilizes 24 valves. The Vortec engine is mated to a General Motors 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
