The rear tire outside the vehicle allows for maximum room inside the car.
It is a great vehicle. Very comfortable and safe.The 4 wheel drive works great and is helpful. Would recommend.
accountCircle Dale B
Easy to lock in 4 wheel drive and fun to off rod with.
Runs and drives great it 4 wheel drive that I have used in off-road and in winter weather. The only trouble I have had was to replace the a/c compressor. It has a little over 73000 miles on it. I would buy it all over again. So if you are look for a SUV Chevrolet build a great vehicle that you will be proud to own.

I love that it is a big but easy to drive car.
It really has not had problems to be such a older vehicle my husband and I are looking at buying another one. We have only had to change the brakes and headlight once. It fits two up front and three in the back. It has a large truck and me and my husband have even went fishing overnight in it.

Reliable and smooth handling
Great handling and very comfortable to drive. Really smooth ride and amenities. Reliable vehicle and with proper maintenance has held up well over the years. Would recommend for people who like trucks or SUVs. Lots of room for hauling things without need for a truck

Comfy for my family and myself. Very reliable
Very user family friendly. Fits 4 screaming and laughing pre-teens. Has always been very reliable. The 4wd is a God send seeing I'm in major snow country. There is plenty of storage space. Factory radio and CD player work great. Gas mileage sucks in town but descent on Hwy. I have seen on T.V. The new Chevy Blazer. Really would like to test drive one. Wish I could afford one. But, I do really like my 2004!

Repairing the Chevy blazer sometime this summer.
This truck has been through a lot. But it always comes through. It has had a transmission replaced. Each axle has been replaced. And now the air conditioning is not working. So that will be worked on soon. The truck also needs four new tires. Will get them soon.

Pros and Cons of my Chevrolet Blazer
I received my car as a gift from my grandmother at 10 years old, and it runs like a champ! I've never had any issues with anything except the calipers seem to be prone to locking up. Also, I would not recommend for parents as the model I have is only a 2 door. Other than that, I couldn't be more happy with my vehicle!

Sturdy but when it goes bad, it really goes bad. Great in winter though so that's a plus.
I like that it has 4 wheel drive but it has a lot of mechanical problems that are getting very expensive to fix.
accountCircle Mali B
It is old and needs work. It has bad gas mileage. Makes a weird noise.
Everything keeps breaking. It is old and has bad gas mileage but it does get me to and from work. Interior is falling apart also.
accountCircle Michael D
My vehicle is okay given for what it is.
Well for starters my Chevrolet trailblazer air conditioning has went out. Then second no heat. Also the passenger window does not roll down. It does not have a AUX cord. The gas mileage is decent but could be better since it is only a v6. The seats are not really comfortable at all. As well as the backseats. Does not have a backup cam. Nor does it have navigation system in it as well. It drives ok given for what it is.

Good condition, clean title history
Good mileage, good transmission, hasn't been in an accident. Red 4 doors original interior. This vehicle has a clear title history, the paint, body and interior need work and the tires may need to be replaced, pass a smog and safety inspection. The engine compartment is clean.
accountCircle Katie T
It has had problem after problem and I wish we never bought it.
Has a ton of issues. All gauges on the dash do not work. The radio doesn't work 3/4 of the time and the CD player has never worked. The electric locks sporadically function and the windows squeak horribly when used. Entire vehicle has problems and have owned less than 2 months.
accountCircle Scott G
Blazer bomb. It is uncomfortable to ride in it feels like a kid in a car chair.
It is uncomfortable to ride in the abs is shot the seat does not adjust to me I have a hard time looking at what's behind me it is slow to get up to speed I'm short so everything feels so high like I am peeking over a wall and it is white so you see all the dirt.
accountCircle Vanessa F
My honest review on an essential model.
It has worked for a very long while. It has not let me down. My car enables me to get around from one place to another which is always a plus. It has enough space for my necessities, thus making it extremely convenient. It provides a smooth ride for my friends and I.
accountCircle Misty P
Highlight of my blazer is that the far most side windows open.
The amount of space these wonderful SUVs come equipped with is absolutely amazing and exactly what I needed having 3 daughters and a dog. Winter time is a walk in the park with the 4×4 especially how much weight the truck is. The rear seats all lay completely flat for maximum space for anything! Cargo rack on top. All around ac/heat! Automatic everything very much love this vehicle.

Is The 2004 Chevrolet Blazer A Good Car?

Yes it is reliable I have had it for several years and it runs as good as when I first got it I would recommend
Robert P.
Not really, but it runs, and the motor seems to be strong and transmission is sound. There seems to be an issue with the electrical system
Dee K.

How Reliable Is The 2004 Chevrolet Blazer?

Yea I have never had a problem except for routine maintenance and such as changing tires and beanies and changing the oil
Adam L.
Yes, it has a few issue with the headlights, tail lights and it could use a good tune up, along with a good cleaning outside as well as inside
Jeremy D.

Is The 2004 Chevrolet Blazer A Good Value?

I bought mine from a friend for 10,000 10 years ago and I think that was completely worth it for how long it has ran and how little I have to service it
Madeline G.
It seems to be a good value, the cost was about 8000, when it was purchased in 2008. But I would like to get a newer car in the future
