Chevy Trailblazer Engine Lineup

The engine lineup for the Chevy Trailblazer includes two options. You can also choose front-wheel or all-wheel drive. The choice you make will impact your capability on all-terrain paths as well as how much you’ll be able to tow.

The first available engine is a turbocharged 1.2-liter 3-cylinder that nets you 137 horsepower and 162 lb-ft of torque, and it can be mated to a continuous variable transmission (CVT). You can also go for the more powerful, turbocharged 1.3-liter 3-cylinder that nets you 155 horsepower with 174 lb-ft of torque. It can be mated to a swift-shifting 9-speed automatic transmission.

What's the Chevy Trailblazer Towing Capacity?

The maximum towing capacity for the Chevy Trailblazer is about 1,000 pounds. That's enough for a small trailer, a jet ski or snow mobile, a small flatbed for lawn care and landscaping gear, or other small equipment and tools. That assumes that your SUV has the proper engine and equipment setup to pull the load safely.

What Does Properly Equipped Mean?

Whenever you read about towing capacity, you'll always see, "when properly equipped." Most vehicles have specific packages and accessories that are required to max out their towing. It starts with the right engine. For the Trailblazer, if you want to tow, you'll want to go with the 1.3L turbocharged 3-cylinder engine setup, first of all.

After that, you will want to set up the Trailering Provisions Package. This gives you a four-pin light trailer connector hitch. You'll also need to have a hitch and hitch trim cover installed, which are available as aftermarket accessories. It may interest some to know that there's a special cover designed for the ACTIV off-road-oriented trim level, as well as specific covers for the RS, LS, and LT trim levels.

Installing a Trailer Hitch

Installing the hitch requires modifying the back bumper, which is best accomplished at our dealer. The team at our parts and service departments have the tools and experience to handle the upgrades. If you're looking to get an aftermarket accessory installed for your SUV, going to your local Chevy dealer is always a good idea, as you'll get genuine Chevy parts for a perfect fit, and installed by expert, certified technicians.

It's especially important when you're talking about modifications like towing on a Trailblazer.
