	This SUV is built on a truck platform, with all models having [[four-wheel drive]] as an option with both [[Automatic transmission\|automatic]] engagement and the more traditional "4 High" and "4 Low" gearings. Four-wheel drive models have a unique front axle arrangement, as the front axle passes through a hole in the oil pan of the engine. This design allowed Chevrolet to build the Trailblazer and related vehicles with a lower ground clearance for improved on-road handling, although this contributes to limited off-road ability. The vehicle does, however, have enough ground clearance to allow certain off-road usage. Its main disadvantage is its increased width (as compared to a [[Suzuki Samurai]] or a [[Jeep Wrangler]]) and lack of suspension travel, causing it to ''high side'' when it encounters high-camber-variance terrain or large rocks. Additionally, it lacks either locking hubs or a [[limited slip differential]], though the latter is available as an option.

	Responding to criticism of rebadging, GM will only build the TrailBlazer and [[GMC Envoy]] SUVs off of this upgraded platform. Buick will instead get a GM Lambda platform-based [[crossover SUV]], while [[Saab]] will replace the [[Saab 9-7X\|9-7X]] with the Theta-based [[Saab 9-4X\|9-4X]].
