I have a 2001 Blazer with Trailblazer package and I have tried the search window and Google and I am not getting an answer But what I want to know is what comes with the Trailblazer package? Is it only trim, sun roof, fog lights? Is there anything different in the suspension? I ask because I noticed the wore out shocks are Bilsteins. And as I check a couple of parts websites it sometimes says parts won't fit a Trailblazer trim package. I have been searching for steering, suspension and shocks and I just want to make sure before I order.
Thanks

 

Back in the era of the S series the Trailblazer moniker just signified interior and exterior trim pieces. The underpinnings were the same as the standard 2WD or 4WD versions.

 

Thank you for clearing that up for me. So what's up with the Bilsteins shocks on it?? Did the factory ever put Bilsteins shocks on the Blazer 4wd? Mind you I am the second owner and the guy I bought it from didn't seem like the type to put Bilsteins shocks on it unless it was oem. He would take the Blazer to the dealer for work.

So this a reason to not always trust parts website on what will fit and what won't fit a type or model. Search engines aren't always right. Also when looking for parts it seems that the ball joints are different between the 2wd and the 4wd. I don't get that?

 

Sure did.

 

my 05 base 4wd came with them

 

Well by as wore out as these Bilsteins are and by looking at them I am guessing that they have never been replaced. If that is a case they might have lasted 125k because I got the Blazer at 135k they were going bad. Bilsteins have always had a good rep but I have been hearing some negative things from some guys having bad luck with them in the past couple of years. And something about the company changing management or something to do with getting them warrantied. Don't get me wrong I still would like to be able to put another set on my Blazer but they are TOO costly for me. So I am thinking of going with KYB's.

 

Well I have a 2001 Trailblazer sans sunroof and 2WD but the other interior ammenities, leather, special badging/embroidery and the automatic transmission is shift on the floor/console, but based on other posts and my eperience it's pretty much just a jazzed up S-10 Blazer.

 

there were a couple years that they built both Blazers and Trailblazers and it wasnt just trim level

My 2001 blazer is not a trailblazer, but it had all the bells and whistles. The blazer is an Lt, has sunroof, bilstien shocks, 4x4 with auto awd, fog lights, power seats, alloy rims, ect. Only thing it doesn't have is leather seats. To be honest I have no idea what the difference is from the top of the line Lt and trailblazer besides the name.

 

From model year 2002 through 2009, Chevy used the name Trailblazer for it's SUVs built on the GMT 360/370 platform which was an entirely different vehicle to the S10 Blazer. Prior to the 2002 model year, on the S10 Blazer, the name Trailblazer simply designated an up-level trim package.
