Why should I also consider these?
The 2009 Chevrolet TrailBlazer is part of what once was the heart of the SUV market, but these best sellers are gradually being replaced by carlike crossovers.
The TrailBlazer is nearly identical to the GMC Envoy, which sells at a similar price, but is more trucklike.
Only the Durango feels as cumbersome and uncomfortable as the TrailBlazer, but it's a bit more of a workhorse.
The Liberty, Pathfinder, and 4Runner all have better off-road-focused models.
The Liberty is smaller and more maneuverable, while the Pathfinder stands out as having a better ride and a more luxurious interior.
Then there's the formerly best-selling Ford Explorer, which is still perhaps the most direct competitor to the TrailBlazer.
Ford has done a much better job keeping the Explorer updated in recent years, and though it also has trucklike underpinnings, the Explorer handles far better than the TrailBlazer.
