The TrailBlazer lineup is headed by the performance-bred TrailBlazer SS, a sell-out star that offers sports car performance combined with the functionality expected of a utility vehicle. TrailBlazer SS has unique exterior styling and specific interior appointments, including prominent 20-inch flangeless wheels. Power comes from the LS2 6.0-liter V8, which produces 395 horsepower. A performance suspension with lowered ride height also is part of the package. The TrailBlazer SS is available in two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations.

The TrailBlazer stable includes the well-equipped LT model, which is offered with available V8 power and all-wheel-drive. GM's fuel-saving Active Fuel Management (AFM) technology is standard with the available Vortec 5.3-liter V8 engine. AFM regulates between eight- and four-cylinder power to produce up to 5 percent improved fuel economy in certain light-load driving conditions.
