when the time comes, I will be purchasing a new Lincoln Mark LT to tow the infamous Mark VIII. I have never been a chevy fan, or gm either, not since my Jimmy, TransAm or wife's GrandAm. Now we have gone and done it again...wife like the new Izuzu Ascender..the AssEnder as I like to call it, and it has Trailblazer written all over it.
For trucks though, in my mind, nothing beats a ford...well done on your purchase

You really wanna try another GM product after owning your blazer?
One of my friends mom's had one and he said it was in the shop all the time and after 2 years, already needed a new t-case, among other things.
Seems like nothing too spectacular is coming out of detroit these days (i mean cars, no offense Justin). Domestic full size trucks are built pretty tough, but i just dont like that chevy is still the only one using IFS instead of solid front axle.

Trailblazers are some of the most unreliable vehicles made. If you do get one be sure not to get the 5 cylinder engine, that thing is a piece of crap!
My friend's dad is a service manager for a Chevy dealership and he owned one, he flat out said that engine is the worst idea ever. He obviously owns nothing but chevy's so he is not biased.

inline 6 is alot better than the 5cy crap. straight 6's have been around forever and last for ever and they have some torque. that 5cy has the power of a 4 banger and the bad gas milage of the 6.

actually guys the ss is the vette motor which is the one im getting... motor trend car and drive and road and track roared about the ss. as for the 5 cyl engine it gets better gas mileage and has more horsepower than the v6 it replaced. and as far as i know it doesnt have any major problems

QFT.
That's why the Dodge Cummins diesel uses an I-6. Its a really strong motor and i believe it produces more torque than both Chevy or Ford. Now if they could only do something w/ their tranny's.
