The 'real' trailblazers came out in 2002... so if you're seeing the badge "Trailblazer" on a 1999 model, Better off calling it a "Blazer". It's the old body style with the old design interior and exterior, and no one really knows why GM put the new name on it back then. I think GMC had an envoy based on the old 'jimmy' body style as well.

Other than that, the previous generation chevy SUV's were pretty good with the 4.3L V6. Nothing compares to the current-generation Trailblazer (years 2002-2009) in turning radius, interior, fit and finish, and performance with the 4.2L Inline 6.

IMHO, if you can afford it, see if there are any 2003-2005 TB's in your area and take a test drive. Apples-to-apples, you are getting a much better truck if you go with the real trailblazers, as apposed to the rebranded blazers.

For what it's worth...
