2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS

The TrailBlazer EXT is the stretched version of Chevy's mid-size SUV, built to carry seven passengers instead of five. It drives like a proper truck-based SUV, with a high seating position and a ride that feels sturdy and planted on the highway. Inside, the cabin is straightforward and roomy, with simple controls and plenty of space for adults in the first two rows. The EXT's longer wheelbase gives you a third row that's usable for kids, and there's real cargo room behind it when the seats are folded. A longer wheelbase and third-row seating distinguish the LS from the standard TrailBlazer, making it Chevy's seven-passenger version of this truck-based SUV. Under the hood is the 4.2L I6 paired with an automatic transmission and four-wheel drive, which delivers adequate power for daily driving but returns 16 mpg combined. The LS trim keeps things simple with cloth seats and manual adjustments, so you get the extra passenger capacity without the cost of leather or luxury extras.
