So yesterday I started moving my soon to be EX-wife up to Michigan. I left from Virginia Pulling her car (on a dollie) packed full of her **** And my Trailblazer full of her ****. It only took me a little more than 12 hrs,witha total weight was about 4100 lbs. My trailblazer did not have a problem at all pulling all that ****. I could run 75 all day long, my mileage sucks (from 22mpg empty to 13 mpg weighed down ). total trip was 760 miles. I don't think that is too bad for a 4.2L I6. i don't see other midsize SUV's pulling much more than boats and uhaul trailers. Well i just thought i would share that, I am surprised with my TB for what is is

 

sounds good. sorry about the divorce btw.

 

i have plenty of faith in my trailblazer. i really like the I6. i wouldn't mind having a 5.3 but all in all it isn't that much smaller than the 4.8L and makes about the same power. i am sure the tq is off a tad though.

 

yeah that 4.2 i think makes more HP and torque than the 4.8's. it is only like 20 hp lass than the 5.3's the 06 4.2's are up to 290 hp and 295 ftlbs torque. but all in all, i am still impressed
