With mammoth sport utility vehicles grabbing headlines good and bad, it's the compact SUV that dominates the market. A strong economy has fueled a strong demand for upscale versions of this popular vehicle. The Chevy Blazer has always been in the thick of the sales race and new this year is a top-line Trailblazer version.
OUTSIDE -The Blazer line hasn't undergone many alterations since its major restyle four years ago, but that sleek redesign, with its sloping hood and rounded grille, was significant enough to successfully bring it into the 21st century. This new Trailblazer looks pretty much like the rest of the Blazer line, but the addition of body-color bumpers, rocker moldings, fascias and rub strips give it a monochromatic theme. Special, gold-accented alloy wheels are unique to the Trailblazer trim level. A new, larger outside mirror makes it easier to see traffic behind, and both can be optionally heated for quick defrosting in cold climates. A rugged roof rack comes standard?
??.
INSIDE -It's easy to find a comfortable driving position. Some of our testers complained of tight toe room in the front passenger seat, due mainly to a large lump that's part of the floor. Four adults fit easily inside, and while three seat belts are provided for the rear seat, three across back there is tight. Its split, folding rear seat opens up over 74 cubic feet of cargo space when folded flat, while 66.9 cubic feet are available otherwise. Large, easy-to-use knobs and switches are all within simple reach, and a variety of stereo systems culminates with a Bose-brand AM/FM/cassette with a console-mounted six-disc CD changer. Unique Trailblazer interior trim includes two-tone leather upholstery and door trim, special floor mats, a leather-wrapped steering wheel and shift knob. All Blazer models come well-equipped with air conditioning, a security system and an AM/FM stereo, Trailblazer models add an eight-way power driver's seat with memory, HomeLink electronic transmitter, remote keyless entry and an auto-dimming inside rear view mirror.
ON THE ROAD -Trailblazer uses the same 4.3 liter Vortec V6 engine as many of the company's light trucks. It's a rugged, powerful engine, with 190 horsepower and 250 pound-feet of torque. With traditional, pushrod-type actuation of the valve train, this engine doesn't show the technological wizardry so prevalent in many of today's SUVs, but it's a simple design and built to last. It gives Trailblazer the ability to produce quick starts off-line and plenty of power for passing.It also provides mighty towing capabilities of 5500 pounds for the 4X4 version, but only with an optional(
) tow package. A beefy four-speed automatic transmission is the only gearbox offered, and it's been upgraded slightly for 1999. Four-wheel drive actuation on our test rig was handled by a part-time system that can be shifted on-the-fly, but cannot be used on dry pavement. New this year, however, is what GM calls its Autotrac option. This is a system that will automatically engage 4WD when the vehicle's electronic controls detect wheelspin.
BEHIND THE WHEEL -Trailblazer is built on a ladder-type full-frame chassis, with strong box-sections. To this is mounted the body, suspension, drivetrain and steering system. The front suspension is independent, supported by torsion bars and located by a stabilizer bar. The rear axle is solid, with two-stage leaf springs that progressively stiffen as interior weight is added. Our tester came with GM's Z85 Touring suspension, which is slightly stiffer than the standard setup, mainly due to high-pressure gas shocks and stiffer spring rates. Variable-assist power recirculating ball steering assists around-town parking and gives better road feel at highway speeds. All Blazer models have four-wheel disc brakes, with a standard anti-lock braking system.
SAFETY -Dual dashboard airbags, ABS and side-impact door beams are standard.
OPTIONS -Electric sunroof: $750; locking rear axle: $270; steering wheel radio controls: $125; stereo upgrade: $100; underbody skid plates: $210; destination charge: $525.

1999 CHEVROLET Blazer
This TrailBlazer is ready for the woods.
Overview
The TrailBlazer is well named, giving the suggestion that this Chevrolet Blazer is going boldly where no Blazer has gone before. Indeed, with a retail price of $32,670, the TrailBlazer has scaled new heights for Chevy compact trucks. Yet despite being packed with amenities, the Blazer loses none of its off-road capabilities.
Model Lineup
Walkaround
The TrailBlazer is an upscale Chevy Blazer. Its available in two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. Either way, the TrailBlazer gets a monotone exterior and special badging. The bumpers and front fascia, body side moldings, and outside rearview mirror are all body color, and TrailBlazers get special gold-accented aluminum wheels. Otherwise, the TrailBlazer looks like other 4-door Blazers.
Like all the other Blazer-class GM SUVs, a 4.3-liter Vortec V6 powers the TrailBlazer. The 90-degree V6 uses a cast iron block and head and overhead valves, and runs happily on 87 octane. Although the redline is 5600 rpm, the power peak of 190 horsepower comes at 4400 rpm. And, with a very useful 250 foot-pounds of torque at 2800 rpm, theres limited need to rev the engine to the redline. GMs 4-speed electronic automatic transmission is standard on the TrailBlazer.
Four-wheel-drive TrailBlazers get the Autotrac four-wheel-drive system, which is new for the 99 model year. As with the push button-controlled Insta-Trac standard on all 4x4 Blazers, the TrailBlazer driver can shift between 2WD and 4WD high on the fly. The 4WD low mode can be used by stopping and shifting the transfer case. Autotrac adds an Auto 4WD button. In this mode, the transfer case remains in 2WD until wheel slip is detected. The transmission shifts automatically into 4WD until prop shaft speeds are equalized, and then returns to 2WD. If multiple slip events are detected, the transfer case remains in 4WD for a longer time. Autotrac also has a transfer case neutral for towing behind a recreational vehicle.
Like all Blazers, the TrailBlazer uses a short-/long-arm front suspension; 4x4 models are sprung by torsion bars. At the rear, the TrailBlazer has a live rear axle with variable-rate multi-leaf springs. The four-wheel drive TrailBlazers come equipped with Z85 Touring Suspension. Using firm de Carbon shock absorbers and stiffer spring rates, the Z85 package has a more controlled ride.
Interior Features
Inside, the TrailBlazer features special two-tone leather trim seats with logos embroidered on the headrests and the TrailBlazer name embroidered on the door panels. A leather-wrapped steering wheel is also standard with a new small hub thanks to a redesigned airbag. The TrailBlazer also gets special floor mats and a console-mounted transmission shifter.
The front seats are broad with limited bolstering. They are more like comfortable chairs than bucket seats. A bulge in the front passengers footwell accommodates the Blazers exhaust. The rear bench is low but will be comfortable for two adults, though three will fit. The rear seatback splits and folds 60-40 for cargo flexibility.
As the top-of-the-line 4-door model, the TrailBlazer also includes all the standard features on the LT trim level, including the electronic climate control, a thermostat control that really works. Tilt wheel and speed control, power windows, locks and mirrors are also included. Our test TrailBlazer also had the optional power glass sunroof ($750), heated drivers seat ($250), steering wheel radio controls ($125), AM/FM stereo with CD player ($100), enhanced speakers ($495), underbody shield package ($126), and heavy duty trailering equipment ($210), all of which came with and a package discount of $1400.
Driving Impressions
Expect to step up to get in the TrailBlazer. Though not as radical as larger 4x4 rides, the TrailBlazer has a higher seating height than the typical sedan. The payback is that commanding view of the road that SUV owners cherish.
The TrailBlazer comes with full instrumentation that is well laid out; it shares its instrument panel with the other Blazer-class trucks. General Motors has made major strides in its minor controls, and the dash of the TrailBlazer is an excellent example. The switches, knobs and levers for the heating, ventilation, air conditioning and audio controls look and feel good and dont require a correspondence course to learn how to operate.
The engine fires off eagerly with a twist of the key and settles to an idle thats steady but telegraphs some of the basic imbalance of a 90-degree V-6. That smoothes as revs increase, and in the operating range between 2000 and 3000 rpm the Vortec is a friendly companion. Full throttle causes the V6 to accelerate with a healthy growl that gets louder as revs rise. The TrailBlazers acceleration is more than adequate to keep up with traffic.
The TrailBlazers Touring Ride suspension is firmer than either the standard Smooth Ride setup of the base Blazer or the optional ZW7 Premium Ride. Some may not appreciate the additional road feel. But the reward is an easily discernable improvement in responsiveness, a reduction in float and, thanks to greater roll resistance, less lean in the corners. The result is an overall greater feel of control and confidence at a minor cost of slightly bumpier ride. I preferred the crisper responses of the firmer suspension on winding mountain roads.
The Auto 4WD mode can be used at all times. It keeps the transmission in two-wheel drive until slip occurs, so theres no fuel mileage penalty. Yet it reacts instantly to loose gravel or wet or icy pavement, shifting seamlessly into four-wheel drive. If theres any shortcoming in the system, its that the driver isnt alerted when the system is shifting into four-wheel drive mode -- as on cars that use warning lights to indicate traction control is functioning).
Out on Interstate 80, the TrailBlazer cruised effortlessly. The V6 operates in the low 2000-rpm range at highway speeds and, except for a subtle bass line from the engine and a steady road rumble up through the suspension, the ride is quiet enough for easy conversation between front and rear passengers. The tires selected by Chevrolet are free of whine and arent so heavy as to overwhelm the suspension. A slight whisper of wind noise around the A-pillars is the only other distraction. The ride, though firm, is not at all harsh or jiggly. Not all sport utilities are this civilized over the road, and we wouldnt hesitate to drive a high-mile day in the TrailBlazer.
Loading for a big trip would be easy. Access to the commodious cargo compartment is via a rear liftgate. A cargo cover is standard; unlike those that require you to climb into the cargo area to unreel them, the TrailBlazers cover goes from side to side. With no separate reel, nothing is in the way when you want to lower the rear seats to load large cargo: the reel need not be removed and become another piece of cargo. With the spare mounted under the rear, a flat tire wont mean unloading all your cargo.
Summary
The TrailBlazer is one of the reasons so many people use a sport-utility in place of a car. It will do everything a car will do, and almost as well. Plus it adds almost unstoppable mobility in the worst weather and the capability to go where the roads dont. And of course, as the TrailBlazer, it now has the ability to take the Blazer line into a luxury market it has never before visited. A trailblazer it truly is.
