Chevrolet TrailBlazer (SUV)

The Chevrolet TrailBlazer, also written Trailblazer, is a mid-size sport utility vehicle produced by Chevrolet, a division of General Motors. The nameplate was first used in North America from 2001 to 2008, and in 2009 it was replaced by the Traverse, a crossover SUV. The TrailBlazer name began for the 1999 model year as an upscale trim level of the compact four-door Chevrolet S-10 Blazer. A long wheelbase EXT model was built at the Oklahoma City Assembly plant, and the last TrailBlazer EXT rolled off the line on February 20, 2006, when General Motors closed that plant. In 2011 production of a newly redesigned Trailblazer began for the Asian and Brazilian markets.
