Chevrolet Trailblazer
The Trailblazer's collector market is almost entirely focused on the high-performance SS variant, which packed a 395-hp Corvette-derived LS2 V8. These models stand out as sought-after muscle SUVs, while standard versions remain common family vehicles.
Find one with Spotter →Chevrolet Trailblazer sold for a median of $13,000 over the last 12 months, based on 19 auction sales; the middle 50% sold between $5,375 and $18,875. 1,040 currently for sale.
The Chevrolet Trailblazer debuted in 2002, replacing the S-10 Blazer with a more modern GMT360 platform and a standard 4.2L inline-6 engine. While most were sold as practical family SUVs, the model line gained its enthusiast following with the introduction of the high-performance SS variant.
Collector interest is focused almost entirely on the Trailblazer SS, which was sold from 2006 to 2009. Chevrolet fitted a 6.0L LS2 V8 borrowed from the C6 Corvette, giving the SUV 395 horsepower and a 0-60 mph time under 6 seconds. Available in RWD or AWD, it's a legitimate muscle SUV that combines V8 power with daily-driver utility.
The current market is split. Standard models are inexpensive used vehicles, but low-mileage, well-preserved Trailblazer SS examples are bona fide collectibles. With SS prices pushing towards $40,000, it's clear these special models are what drive the market's value and enthusiast demand.
Buying Tips
- Check the frame, body mounts, and rocker panels for significant rust, especially on cars from the salt belt.
- On SS models, listen for whining or clunking from the AWD transfer case and feel for harsh shifts from the 4L70E automatic transmission.
- The optional rear air suspension is a common failure point; look for a sagging rear end or budget for a conversion to conventional coil springs.
- Test all electronics, as GMT360 vehicles are known for failing gauge cluster stepper motors, window regulators, and HVAC actuators.
- The 6.0L LS2 V8 is durable, but inspect for oil leaks around the rear main seal and oil pan gasket.
Prices range from around $400 for project vehicles to over $38,000 for top-spec Trailblazer SS models.
