Possibly looking for a trailblazer to replace the 01 olds van for the wifes drive to work. The one we are looking at has 4wd, 125,000 and asking price of 6300. Haven't driven it yet, just looked at it at the lot, looks clean, but does have some dried oil around the rear axle seal. Tires look worn evenly with maybe a little cupping on the front outside on front wheels. Wife knows 3 people at work with 04-19 trailblazers and seem to like them. Our van has the 3.4 and we had the heads machined and new head gaskets at 200,000 last year, it has 225,000, now with no other trouble with the motor since we bought it at 110,000. A few questions:
1) Is the inline 6 a good engine?
2) Do the trails have a good transmission?
3) I have read the 4wd has some issues on the trails, are they costly fixes and at how many miles do they fail. 4) Any other things to watch out for?
I have a 96 and 98 silverados and they have been very reliable simple trucks. One has 5.0 and the other a 5.7, both vortecs. I think, for the same or less money I could get another Silverado with a 305. Cost a little more in gas, but maybe less in up keep.
Thanks for any information. I couldn't get the trailblazer picture to transfer from the dealer, but here is my 96 Silverado.

Today's Featured Article - Box Plow Blues - by Tom Schwarz. One of the first implements most tractor owners obtain is the box plow. For very little money, this piece of equipment promises to plow and flatten any hill or vale on your ranch road or farm. At least that's what I thought! As simple as a box plow appears, it can be rather challenging to make work correctly. In our sandy soils of Florida, traction is king. You can never have wide enough tires or heavy enough weights to get all the traction you want … unless you own a monster tractor. U
