JaSSon Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 (edited) My reason for selling is that I want back into a manual transmission, simple as that. This will make either a great tow vehicle or a sporty family hauler.2006 AWD Black Trailblazer LT SS. Mileage: 76,404. This is my DD, so mileage will continue to accumulate. Covered by GM Protection Plan until 8/30/2011 or 77,453.AWD, 4 speed auto, 390HP&TQ, tow rating of 6500Lbs. Enough for your fun car and a trailer.Asking price is $17,500. Price is pretty firm, as it's already below KBB values. But if you're interested, PM an offer and maybe we can work something out. No trades please. She's pretty loaded, all options except navigation, rear seat DVD, and Rain sensing wipers.She DOES have: Leather seats with suede inserts in the front, Bose 6 disk in-dash CD changer with SirusXM, steering wheel controls, Driver info center, Tire pressure monitor system, Automatic climate control, external temp display, independent rear seat climate control & radio/cd controls with headphone jacks, automatic head lights, integrated programmable garage door opened, compass, auto-dimming rear mirror, built in compressor with air line, OnStar.Features unique to SS:Unique front and rear bumper covers, unique fog lights, unique rocker panels, unique 20" polished and clear coated rims, unique suspension bushings, beefier sway bars, SS-specific valved Bilstein shocks, self leveling air-ride rear suspension, unique brakes, beefed up 4L65e trans, 4.10 final drive ratio, 2 tone interior (charcoal and tan), some nifty "SS" badges, and of course the big ole 6.0L V8 LS2 engine. Stock rated at 390HP, 390TQ. There are probably more I'm missing.The truck has been rock solid for me. The only issues I've had were a leaky pinion seal in the front diff and a noisy hub bearing that were both replaced under warranty. Anything else was just me being nit-picky and taking advantage of my warranty.The truck has been involved in no accidents, but the previous owner did hit a deer. I never even knew until an AutoCheck was run recently. I had the rear doors and rocker panels repainted under warranty due to chipping. Yes, there really is a TSB out on that. The truck is in excellent condition, with less than average wear and tear on the paint, and 0 door dings.New Yoko avid suv 275-45-20 purchased in 11/2010 from Derek @ NTB. 90+% life remaining. Newer battery, maybe a year old. Also from NTB.The ONLY mods that are and have ever been performed: IEATSRT8 CAI and a tune by Brian at DTM. I have NEVER had the truck to the track, and I baby it on the street. Really, I drive like grandpa. I would expect a mid 13 second pass. I've only towed 3 times, nothing heaver than a medium U-Haul.Extras included: hitch receiver and ball (2" I believe), rubber cargo mat.

BiggO Posted March 23, 2011 Report Share Posted March 23, 2011 Figures! I was looking for one of those, but they were all $23,000 or higher. If you would have posted this last Friday, I would have jumped on it, but Saturday I bought the 300c SRT8. Crap, I knew I should have waited!

max power Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 Nice. I was looking at one of these at Ricart last week. Had no idea it has a V8. I always thought these had a turbo or blown V6. Badass. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JaSSon Posted March 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 You bought the wrong car sillyhead. He sure did. I'm wondering how he went from a Trailblazer to a 300C. Pretty different vehicles if you ask me...And I've presented it to the morons of Craigslist.http://columbus.craigslist.org/cto/2283332736.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GSXR-7Fish Posted March 24, 2011 Report Share Posted March 24, 2011 I've seen many, one specifically with lots of mods and a good driver only turn a 13.2 your stocker is going to run a 13.80 if you even get a good launch. 4.10 gears there goes your gas mileage!!

JaSSon Posted March 25, 2011 Author Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 (edited) That one doesn't look like it's AWD...Lol. How good of a driver do you need you need to be to drive an automatic with AWD in a straight line?And I'd expect high 13's or better out of my truck.Bump, I keep reaching for a shifter that isn't there!

Uncle Punk Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 Very fun vehicle to drive on the back roads, good tow vehicle and okay in the snow with stabilitrack/traction control. I have even followed a couple sport bikes from here down on the twisty roads with better than expected results. The first half of the 2006 they made 2wd & AWD, 2007 & 2008 were all AWD. I have added 40 H.P. to mine at the wheels over stock and on warm summer nights it runs 14.2 there is no way with the mods you have listed will that SUV run in the 13s. It doesn't matter there are very few vehicles that can tow 6,600 LBS and still run mid 14s. I love having the versatility. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Disclaimer Posted March 25, 2011 Report Share Posted March 25, 2011 How about for every tenth you're off on the 13s ET, you knock $1000 off the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ohiomike Posted April 2, 2011 Report Share Posted April 2, 2011 What kind of gas mileage does this get in town and on the highway? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaSSon Posted April 5, 2011 Author Report Share Posted April 5, 2011 Average right now is 14.7mpg, a pretty good split. I drive 95% highway to work, and rural/city driving to the GF's place. Just highway I've seen 18-20mpg cruising at 65.The included, but not installed e-fans should net another 1-2MPGs, and non-winter blend fuel will add about the same.New price, $16,000.
