Rear seats won't lie completely flat; plus you must move front seats forward.

 Advice to buyer:

Great mid-size SUV if fuel economy is not an issue.

 Detailed review:

GM still can't get the complete package together. The Trailblazer has many strong points, however, there still seem to be a few shortcomings. Firstly, if I'm going to get the gas mileage of a V-8, I want the power of a V-8. The I-6 only gets 14 MPG in town. I had a 5.3 Chevy the got better than that. Trim, trim, trim. I've owned several Chevys, and all of them has had some pieces or pieces fall off. I don't get it? Then there's the shudder when you idle in cold weather, which can be a problem in Colorado. On the bright side, this handles the Rocky Mountains well. Very stable in snowy and icey conditions; a necessity here in Denver. Overall, this was a good purchase. Now, GM needs to iron out the little details.
