What year was the first Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS made?

We love the Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS for the extra row of seating it provides—which will be perfect for our growing family. We do want to get an earlier used model to save some costs if we get it. Can you tell us when the Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS was first made?

The
Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS
is a perfect car for large families! The first Chevrolet Trailblazer EXT LS debuted in 2002 for the 2003 model year.
This Trailblazer has an extended wheelbase to accommodate the third row of seats and is capable on the highway, as well as off-road. The Trailblazer EXT LS also comes standard with a V6 engine but has an optional V8 engine if you need more towing power.
If you want to save on the cost, we recommend also considering the overall ownership cost of getting a used car. Here are a few factors that can affect how much it actually costs to own the car:
  • Fuel type: Your bill for gas would be higher if the car requires a higher octane grade.
  • Fuel efficiency: How often you have to fill up will depend on how fuel-efficient the car is.
  • Repair and maintenance: A car with expensive or hard-to-source parts will have much higher repair and maintenance costs.
  • Known issues: Your repair bills will be higher and more frequent if the car you get has known issues that occur often.
One way to help lower your overall ownership costs is to have the right
car insurance
to cover any unexpected incidents. Using
