We traded in her 05 Escape for....
06 Trailblazer SS. AWD, Leather, Navi, Bose. Pretty much everything other than the rain-sense wipers that most people ***** about anyway.
I have gotten numerous questions regarding the gas mileage in this thing, so I'll just answer them all here:
If you have even one ounce of concern about gas mileage, the TBSS is probably not a good choice for you.
We didn't really give a damn about fuel mileage because we live literally 4 blocks from my fiance's bank that she works at. On nice days she usually just walks, and on days where the weather is not supposed to be perfect, her and her mother (we live in the same town as her parents) take turns driving.
Average fuel mileage right now is 14.4 MPG according to the DIC, and it is fairly accurate. It is extremely difficult to stay out of the gas pedal - even moreso than when I'm driving the GTP. The exhaust note is sex to my ears, and you dont get that sexy exhaust sound unless you put the pedal down.
Most of our driving of the TBSS is 10 miles or less. A lot of driving around town and putting the pedal down from a stop sign.
Driving the truck home with 4 people in it, we got 17.3 MPG with the cruise set at 70mph. I would not expect anything better than 15mpg mixed though. Guys who get a tune and intake can get slightly better, but most do not.
