Price of the Chevrolet TrailBlazer: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 291-horsepower 4.2L I6
4-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 The Trailblazer was merely in the price range of what I was willing to pay for a used vehicle that I only intend to keep for a few years.

What Our Members Are Saying about the Price of the Ford Explorer

Price of the Ford Explorer: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic RWD		 With discounts it is very reasonably priced for what you get.
2006 4dr SUV 292-horsepower 4.6L V8
6-speed automatic RWD		 Lots of car for the money.
2005 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Great value. Bad for Ford, great for us.
2004 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 With the incentives, buying this SUV felt like I was getting a huge bargain. By my 5th year of ownership, I felt like I got ripped off based on the cost to maintain this vehicle.
Price of the Ford Explorer: Cons
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 4dr SUV 210-horsepower 4.0L V6
5-speed automatic 4WD w/low range		 Too expensive in the market compared to more reliable trucks available like Honda Pilots.
