After producing the Chevrolet Trailblazer for nine years from 2002 to 2009, General Motors discontinued operation and production of the Trailblazer and opted against the production of the 2010 Trailblazer. This was largely due to a budget cuts across General Motors. While it was in production, the Trailblazer was a very popular choice for those people looking for an American made medium size SUV.
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, while the monster twenty-inch aluminum wheels have 255/50 V-rated tires.
