LS ($27,595) is nicely equipped with dual-zone air conditioning, CD player, reclining bucket seats and floor console, power windows and programmable door locks, tilt steering, four-wheel-disc brakes with ABS, 16-inch aluminum wheels, perimeter lighting, and three power outlets. LS is available only on the short wheelbase.
LT ($29,725) adds cruise control, fog lamps, a Homelink transmitter, driver information center, luggage rack, heated power mirrors, leather-wrapped steering wheel, premium-grade upholstery with eight-way power for the driver's seat, and an alarm. LT also comes with GM's OnStar security system with GPS tracking and cell phone communication, including emergency assistance and remote unlocking.
LTZ ($33,570) is the luxury-grade TrailBlazer, with leather upholstery, dual power seats (and memory for the driver), automatic climate control, overhead console, and audio controls in the rear seat and on the steering wheel. Wheels and tires upgrade from 245/70R16 to 245/65R17.
The North Face Edition ($35,615) is essentially an LTZ with unique North Face seats, mesh map pockets, Rainsense automatic wipers, liftgate lighting, an under-floor storage cargo liner, heavy-duty floor/cargo mats, an adjustable cargo shelf with a table (EXT model only) and North Face duffel bags and blanket. It also sports some unique exterior identification.
The LT and North Face Edition are offered in extended-wheelbase form. The LT EXT ($31,645) and the North Face EXT ($36,955) come with third-row seating with separate rear-seat heating and air conditioning controls. They are fitted with 17-inch wheels and tires.
Four-wheel drive (4WD) adds $1775-$2355 to all of the prices above, depending on trim level. (It costs more on the more premium models.) Skid plates for the transfer case and fuel tank ($130) and a locking rear differential ($270) are optional on all four models (and mandatory on North Face Editions).
The LS comes with a trailer hitch platform; LT and LTZ add a wiring connector for trailer brakes. The standard final drive ratio on all TrailBlazers is 3.42:1; however 3.73 and 4.10 ratios are available ($50) for more responsive towing. (The 4.10 ratio is not available with the V8 engine.)
Options for the LT and LTZ include 2WD traction control ($195), running boards ($375), a Bose sound system ($495), and a rear-seat DVD entertainment center ($1000). A sliding electric sunroof costs $550 on LT and LTZ, but is available on LS only as a package with OnStar for $800.
