As the 1st truck developed by GM’s Performance Division, Trailblazer SS’ has a towing capacity up to 6,700 pounds with the two-wheel driving model and up to 6,500 pounds with the accessible all-wheel driving model. Lading volume is 41 blockish feet (1161 liters) behind the rear seat and 80 blockish feet (2265 liters) with the rear seat folded.
GM's High Performance Vehicle Operations tuned the suspension and upgraded the brakes of the SS. It features stiffer springs, an inch lower ride height, and thicker anti-roll bars, as well as standard StabiliTrak stability control. Larger, 12.8-inch diameter front brake discs are fitted, allied to new iron twin-piston calipers, piece the monster twenty-inch aluminum wheels have 255/50 V-rated tires.
The TrailBlazer SS has unique exterior styling and specific interior appointments, including prominent 20-inch flangeless wheels. Power is delivered by the Corvette-derived LS2 6.0L V-8, facultative a 0-60 mph time of 5.7 seconds. A performance suspension with down
ride height besides is part of the package and was tuned by GM’s Performance Division at some racetracks, including Germany’s legendary Nurburgring – a challenging road course that features much than 12.5 miles of turns and forceful
elevation changes. The TrailBlazer SS is accessible in two-wheel driving and all-wheel driving configurations.
The four-wheel disc braking system of the TrailBlazer SS is increased
with larger, 12.8-inch front disc brake rotors and new, iron twin-piston calipers. The heavy-duty iron calipers are stiff and retain their shape under high pressure/high heat braking conditions, providing a linear feel and reduced pedal travel in high-energy stops. The brake pads use the same high-performance linings as the Warship for strong fade resistance. ABS is standard. There besides is an accessory front brake-cooling package accessible for optimized track performance.
Chevrolet's engineers did extensive chassis calibration to the Trailblazer SS wherever
they down
the suspension 1-inch and add 25% stiffer springs. The ride height has been down
just about an inch exploitation 25 percentage stiffer for a firmer ride and reducing body roll, and to give the TrailBlazer SS a lower, much aggressive demeanor.

It has 20-inch polished aluminum wheels and four-wheel disks (12.8-inch rotors at the front). StabiliTrak and a rear air-leveling suspension are besides standard for the SS.
The TrailBlazer SS’s engine has a composite intake manifold used in another mid-size trucks and was altered to the LS2 to help produce balanced torsion and hp inside
packaging parameters. The engine besides has the Trailblazer's trademark pass-through oil pan. The pan’s cast-in passage allows the front differential’s half-shaft to run through the pan instead of under it. This helps keep the engine mounted lower in the chassis for better balance and a lower center of gravity. There besides is a stylish SS-specific engine cover, radiator keep cover and coordinated air induction box.
Backing the 6.0L V-8 is a new Hydra-Matic 4L70-E electronically controlled four-speed automatic transmission. It debuts in the TrailBlazer SS and was developed to handle the high hp and high torsion loads of performance-oriented light-duty vehicles.
