Going to start calling a few dealers on a TrailBlazer SS.

[SS4EVER]

^ Thanks for posting the info! Yeah I'm looking for a monthly payment that will be a little lower...

Plus I have a lease myself that I'm trying to get rid of so I'm going to have to go through a dealer in hopes that they will either buy it out or let me turn it in early. I have 7 months left.

Was driving down Ford to go down town tonight and I saw parked outside Bill Wink Chevrolet a black TBSS. It's an 08 with 17k miles, 2WD 1SS asking $23,9xx.

I want leather though...

TBSS came in 2WD? That's news to me. I wouldn't even consider a 2WD TBSS. My LTZ has issues with traction (when not in A4WD) with it's little I-6 I can't imagine what real power would do to traction.

Trailblazers are neat trucks...I love mine. But I've always been a truck/SUV kinda guy between my toy cars.

Yep, 2wd and AWD
I'd take a 2WD over AWD personally.

I can't imagine why you would do that, unless you've never actually experienced an AWD hook-up at launch compared to just spinning and feathering the throttle.

white doesnt make chrome stand out as well. black ftw!

I've driven both.
Easy answer, I would want to keep cost down, MPG up and less crap to break.
2WD TBSS for me please

The TBSS 2WD I've heard is quicker (slightly) vs the AWD TBSS. I'm sure the AWD also adds a little more weight as well. Also AWD drivetrains are more expensive to repair vs 2WD. I really don't care which I get. For the winter I'm sure AWD would prove to be a little more practical but seeing that the TB was just discontinued, and with what's out there I don't have many choices so for me it doesn't matter whether its 2WD or AWD...

Yeah the 20 inch chrome wheels don't stand out as much with white as they do with black. I think if I got white maybe a year later I'd probably get a set of black rims for it. I've always wanted a white vehicle with black rims...

Problem is for me there are very few TBSS's out there with leather and 2WD in the price range that I'm looking for. Mostly all of the TBSS's that are 2WD are cloth and I really want leather which seem to be available only on the AWD TBSS's that are within my price range...

Yep. For winter driving, using a set of GOOD winter tires will make a world of difference

I can see how you are having a hard time finding a 2WD with leather looking at how the options are packaged from GM. I'm sure if you stick to your search you will find one. I assume you are on www.Trailblazerss.com as well?

I live in Indiana, which gets closely to the same crappy weather you get. I Recomend the white, the only time i would recommend black is if it is a performance car, show car, or any other car that you would enjoy to clean every day. Like the black camaro that I plan to order . Not that I wouldn't take car of my daily driver, but a show car isn't a daily driver, And the daily driver i got right now is dark green. To say the least it still gets several washes in the winter, i just try not to look at it until spring.

Yeah since I've been searching for them I'd say about two weeks ago, I came across exactly one TBSS 2WD with leather, and there was a really good deal on it. I e-mailed the Chevy dealer in San Antonio and they replied the next day saying it was already sold... :( Wish I had come across it sooner... Just not meant to be I guess.

Yeah I'm on trailblazerss.com and also tbssowners.com . The guys over there have been pretty helpful and have sent me a few links of people selling their TBSS's. Problem is I can't buy from a private seller cause I need to turn in my lease...

Yeah I hear you. After my current ride, and previous ride both being black and being daily drivers I've just come to accept that after about one or two days after being clean that my car will be dirty again until the next time I wash it... And yeah I just try not to look at my car during the winter...

If I can get white I definitely will, but If I happen to find one with lower miles and around the same price and is black, if I can work on my lease being taken care of I'll take whatever I can get...

[SS4EVER]

Just newly listed on autotrader.com was a white 07 TBSS AWD, Leather, sun and sound package. Only 9k miles on it. Asking $21,950 on it.

It's also all the way in Oregon.... Yeah... I e-mailed them though to inquire about it. They did have delivery options listed as part of their included services, but I'd have to get them to buy-out my lease which I don't know if they'll do...

I've been looking for a used one and am having the same tuff decision choosing between 4WD and 2WD. I plan on it being a daily driver so I'm leaning towards the 4WD (Winter). I've been finding alot of them in the $17000 - $19000 range with under 35,000 miles on AutoTrader, ebay, craigslist, etc. I'm going with black... I know its hard to keep clean, but its just so damn sexy!

They hook just fine. They can even hang yank a tire with the stock suspenion and a DR after more ponies are added.


They have a different suspension than your LTZ. Air shocks and a 4 linkish style set up out back.
