Having difficulty finding much for a typhoon lol.

Heard anything good / bad about trailblazer SS's?

By the looks of reviews and everything seams like a great vehicle.

they are fine....but like every other vehicle with a ss badge you are going to have to be very careful not to get one that hasn't been treated like a race car.

ya they aren't bad as daily drivers. the engine and tranny are fairly robust so just try not to get one with lots of miles and you should be fine.

All the reliability reviews only mention some random issues with brakes, otherwise looks solid.

i dont know if its the same issue as the older chevies, where they used 2-peice composite rotors, which under intense use/towing would cause them to warp


if it is, i replaced the rotors on my suburban for about $55 and put on a set of ceramic pads and it stops like a dream

Ya I'm not too worried about brakes lol. Of that's the only issue then I'm laughing

i had an 05 trailblazer but it was the inline 6. i liked the insides of it and everything. the drivetrain is something i wouldnt be able to comment on because a ss would be completely different but the insides and everything were fine.

felt awkward to me. Then again all the new suvs do, since I like either a lower body profile or a wider stance.
