Expedition vs. Trailblazer

They're both fugly. I'd recommend to look for something else

Not for me... death to beam axles!

hehehe...

But seriously, the Explorer rides very nicely.

...to bad there are so many negatives associated with the previous model for people to give this new one a chance.

don't we have here in tsikot a few Explorer owners? seems that they are quite satisfied with their vehicles.

1st gen expe has a better ride than the 2nd gen. matalbog daw sa 2nd row yun 2nd gen...

for me mas ok ang Trailblazer kaysa sa Expy. Trailblazer owner po since Launching d2 nung Aug. '04. Maganda pa suspension nya, Na try na rin namin i-land trip papuntang Cebu, hnd sya nakakapagod pag long distance driving.

Hindi ba standard length na ang Trailbazer dito? The rear wheels seem to intrude into the rear doors now.

EXT ung trailblazer dito.. kaya masokay ang laban nya sa Explorer. masmura pa.

Nadrive ko na ung explorer.. parang escape din.. ganda ng suspension, walang aangal. masmalaki lang at masmabigat.

pero kung exped vs. tb..

exped na ko.. malamang minsan mo lang din naman gagamitin yan eh.

saka ung 4.2L ng tb.. malakas sa gas yan.

24 valves ng tb vs. 16 valves ng exped. parehas lang malakas..

kaya sa size ka na lang panalo.

Expedition against a TrailBlazer?

I'd go for the Expedition easily. Trailblazer is a GM. GM service sucks. GM quality sucks. GM interiors suck. GM stands for General Malfunction in my book.

AM4,

Ford's smaller Explorer (RP market only gets the 210hp models) is a good SUV, but I guess they should lower the price a bit, I think its one of the reasons why its not selling as well.

The Explorer is actually selling quite well.

Trailblazer EXT 4X2 is P2.099M while the 4X4 version is P2.235M

It has a more fuel efficient 275hp 4.2 liter inline-6 which is more powerful than the Explorer's 210hp 4-liter V6 and Expedition's 260hp 5.4 liter V8.
The Trailblazer EXT is also one of the few SUVs in its price range that offers both good 3rd row space/legroom and cargo space behind it.

This by the way is the 2006 Trailblazer EXT with a new grill and Stabilitrak(Electronic Stability Control system).

same basic interior though...

it's quite long for an SUV para sakin, and with lower ground clearance than the Exped or Explo.
