Hey everyone. Well I have decided to get something newer, but I decided not to abandon the 'Blazer family. I just bought a 2007 Chevy Trailblazer with just under 13k miles on it. I plan on putting the same accessories in it as the Jimmy (as in my signature). It is a 2007, so hopefully I missed the year range where there were problems (2002-2005 according to carcomplaints.com). The dealer replaced the tires, but is there anything else I should do other than change the fluids after I pick it up? Thanks

 

Congratulations! I hope you enjoy your new ride!

 

Just curious why did they replace the tires with such low mileage?

 

6 years old...tires were probably getting all cracked in the tread. i just replaced mine. they were six years old and had good tread left on them, but they were cracked every where!!

 

We have ha 2 Envoy XL's 2004 lease and 2006 lease which we bought off lease and have had no problems with either. My father had a 2002 raiblazer with no major problems that he bought new until it was taken out by Sandy in October. Good luck with the truck and I agree with the tire replcement due to cracking was probably th reason why.

 

That's pretty much what I was figuring as well I just figured I'd ask

 

congrats they are very lux inside. Ive always wondered (well since ive got a blazer) what chevy carryed through from the blazers to newer trailblazers chaise and drive train wise

 

Yea the tires were cracked. They just changed them for that reason. Tread was good. Alot better case than the Denali I looked at somewhere else that had mismatched tires. Other guy lost a sale from that one after I heard those two words since that is very very bad for the 4x4 system.

 

Picked it up yesterday. Really nice. New tires even still have residue from the stickers. Clean inside and out. Has just over 13,000 miles on it now.

It does however have a bit of rust underneath, but to be expected with northeast US winters. The power steering cooler is even more rusty, but not leaking. Otherwise it looks and drives like new.
