2007 TrailBlazer SS

Mike's 2007 TrailBlazer SS. Chevy's modern-era Muscle Truck! Some call it a "4-Door Corvette", and it goes like STINK!

400 Horsepower Corvette LS2, Heavy-Duty 4L80 4-Speed Auto Trans, Heavy Duty Lowered Suspension (Developed at Nürbergring Race Track in Germany), Traction Control and Stability Control STANDARD. 0-60 in 5.5 Seconds. Top speed (electronically limited): 155 MPH.

My truck came equipped with the 3SS option package, which means it has every option available in '07 except all-wheel-drive. Factory 20's with Goodyear Eagle RS/A tires, Quick-Ratio Rack & Pinion Steering, Auto Load- Leveling (Air-Ride) Suspension, Power Aux Air Compressor/Inflation System, Tire Pressure Monitoring, and 4-Wheel ABS Disc Brakes. Bose AM/FM/CD & XM Sat Radio, Stereo w/Autonomous Touch-Screen DVD Nav w/Voice Guidance, On-Star with integrated hands-free, Voice-Actuated Cell Phone, Heated Leather "Memory" Seats/Mirrors, "Curb-View" Right Power Tilt Mirror, Rear-Seat Roof-Mounted DVD System w/Wireless Headphones, Cruise, Power Adjustable Pedals w/Memory Feature, Tilt Wheel w/full Steering Wheel Audio/On-Star Controls, Auto Dual-Zone Climate Control with rear seat outlets and controls, and a Power Glass Sunroof.

MODS- I added an IEATSRT8 Cold Air Intake, Trans Cooler, Hood Strut Kit, and replaced the HUGE factory muffler with a straight section of 3 1/2" pipe. It now SOUNDS as it should, throaty but not too loud. (Well, until you hit the GO pedal, that is!) I also added a Remote Start/Alarm, an iPod interface, Pro- Fit Mount/Cradle, and a JL Audio 10" Sub/Box powered by an Alpine 400W Amp.

Finally, I added a couple of extra emblems - Front Grille "SS" and a Corvette- Style Crossed Flags emblem on the gas filler door - an "homage" to my first car - a '70 SS396 Chevelle.

It handles and drives like a sport coupe, not a 2-ton plus SUV!

Here's what a TBSS can do when you SWITCH OFF the Traction Control and StabiliTrack, via 2-presses on a small button mounted on the center console shifter:
