The new Chevy Trailblazer may not be a supercar – but for an SUV it makes one heck of a coolcar in our books. Chevy has done a great job of creating a stylish looking SUV that is full of power and luxury. So when you are out on the open and bumpy gravel roads for the annualfamily camping trip you can do it in style and comfort. You may still be bumping all over the place – but at least the seats are comfortable.

Chevy offers the Trailblazer in three separate trim levels, the LS, LT, and SS. Our favorite model was the SS – which has all of the important features plus some added bonuses including, a larger version of the V8 engine, 20” wheels, and a sporty chassis.

The 6.0 liter V8 engine – which is similar to the one used in the Corvette – packs 391 horsepower and around 395 pounds of torque. Most SUV’s are built with the 4WD – but Chevy took a different approach and decided to use the all wheel drive system for better performance when not being driven off road.

The Trailblazer SS is a complete class of its own (which is why we have granted it access to the other cool cars). It may be big – but get behind the wheel and watch as you floor from 0 to 60mph in 6.3 seconds. Plus you can drive on any type of straight or twisty road without fear of losing control. This might be one of the best, high powered, well controlled, SUV’s on the market.
