It has a *little* roll, but i'm going to replace the rear OEM ant-roll bar with a a Hotchkis anti-roll bar and that will take care of it. It's got some good power, 291HP, and the power/weight ratio is pretty good. I'm still breaking it in so I haven't really gotten on it yet, trying to keep it under 55 and vary the RPM's. The front end is bigger than I had thought but it's easy to get accustomed to , and the dogs are loving the extra room in back.

The BIG difference, and it might seem trivial to you guys, but I don't have that anxious feeling every time I park it, worrying about if it and the headlights will still be there in 1 piece when I get back to it. I actually ran some errands today and didn't think twice about the car while I in the stores. I don't live in a bad area either, but once your car is vandalized and there's nothing you can do to increase the security, it's a bad feeling when you park it. It was also nice to be able to take the TB to a 100% hand wash today for $8! I never took the X to the car wash, well, maybe once, but I hand washed/waxed the X all the time, what a major convenience to spend 10 minutes at the car wash

I can't believe it but it's been 3 years already. Turned in the TB tonight.

It was an incredibly reliable vehicle. If GMAC didn't have their heads up their asses, I would have bought it out, but I figured that paying $20k for an 06 when I could probalby get an 09 for a few thousand more wasn't a good financial decision.


Anyway, so long TB, it was a fun ride.

Glad the TB worked out for you.

Oh, and congrats on 8K.

"December light truck sales fell 25 percent to 132,524 units and included a 66 percent plunge in demand for the TrailBlazer SUV and a 34 percent drop in Sierra sales."

Around here (Detroit) they are practically giving them away.
