Visit Chevrolet for more information on the Chevy TrailBlazer.


The capital "B" in the TrailBlazer's name leaves no doubt as to the ability of this mid-size sport utility vehicle. The same holds true for the TrailBlazer EXT, big brother to the regular length model.

The 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer models receive a number of new pieces of equipment, including a last-door locking feature and new 17-inch bright aluminum wheels. Interior design changes include a monochromatic instrument panel, Light Cashmere cloth reclining bucket seats or premium two-tone leather seating surfaces. Infotainment additions for 2004 include XM Satellite and Navigation radios.

Available Models
The 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer EXT is offered in two models: LS and LT, plus the unique North Face Edition model. The TrailBlazer is covered in a separate review.

Interior Features
The four-door Chevy TrailBlazer EXT has sixteen extra inches in its wheelbase when compared to the regular length model. This allows for an extra row of seating and the ability to fit seven passengers.

TrailBlazer EXT's heating/ventilation/air conditioning system has been rated one of the best in its class. It has dual zones and a high-airflow system that warms up and cools down faster than virtually any other system in the segment or price range.

For the outdoor enthusiast, The North Face Edition is a model with all the right functional equipment. On the inside, these models contain The North Face badged seats, mesh map pockets, rain-sense wipers, liftgate lighting, an underfloor storage cargo liner, heavy-duty floor/cargo mats, an adjustable cargo shelf with a table and The North Face duffel bags and blanket.

Exterior Features
The North Face Edition also distinguishes itself externally. With standard 17-inch sport aluminum wheels, lower accent-color body cladding, body-colored outside rearview mirrors, running lamps, headlamp washers and B-pillar badging, there's no mistaking this model as it rolls down the road.

Performance
The 2004 Chevy TrailBlazer EXT is equipped with a 4.2-liter, inline 6-cylinder Vortec engine with 275 horsepower at 6000 rpm and 275 lb-ft of torque at 3600 rpm. The inline configuration virtually eliminates shake and idle roll, as well as providing solid balance. 4-speed automatic transmission takes care of the shifting.

An Autotrac four-wheel-drive system is standard on 4x4 models. Traction control is available as an option for two-wheel-drive models.

Safety and Security
Four-wheel vented disc antilock brakes, dual-stage airbags for the front seating positions and three-point restraint systems for all seating positions (including the middle rear) are standard. Side-impact airbags for front seating positions are also available.
