The TrailBlazer first appeared as a trim of the S-10 Blazer, then a standalone mid-size body-on-frame SUV (2002–2009) with an inline-six and an available high-output SS version.
After the name went overseas, Chevrolet revived 'Trailblazer' in North America for 2021 as a small unibody subcompact crossover — a very different, car-based vehicle slotting below the Equinox.
