2006 Chevrolet Trailblazer Ss Plus The Chevrolet Performance And
By Jenny McLane, Tue Dec 6th

As the first truck developed by GM’s Performance Division, Trailblazer SS’ has a towing capacity up to 6,700 pounds with the two-wheel drive model and up to 6,500 pounds with the available all-wheel drive model. Cargo volume is 41 cubic feet(1161 liters) behind the rear seat and 80 cubic feet (2265liters) with the rear seat folded.

GM's High Performance Vehicle Operations tuned the suspension and upgraded the brakes of the SS. It features stiffer springs, an inch lower ride height, and thicker anti-roll bars, as well as standard StabiliTrak stability control. Larger, 12.8-inchdiameter front brake discs are fitted, allied to new iron twin-piston calipers, while the monster twenty-inch aluminum wheels have 255/50 V-rated tires.

The Trail Blazer SS has unique exterior styling and specific interior appointments, including prominent 20-inch flangeless wheels. Power is delivered by the Corvette-derived LS2 6.0L V-8, enabling a 0-60 mph time of 5.7seconds. A performance suspension with lowered ride height also is part of the package and was tuned by GM’s Performance Division at several racetracks, including Germany’s legendary Nurburgring – a challenging road course that features more than12.5 miles of turns and drastic elevation changes.

The Trailblazer SS is available in two-wheel drive and all-wheel drive configurations. The four-wheel disc braking system of the Trailblazer SS is enhanced with larger, 12.8-inch front disc brake rotors and new, iron twin-piston calipers. The heavy-duty iron calipers are stiff and retain their shape under high-pressure high heat braking conditions, providing a linear fee land reduced pedal travel in high-energy stops. The brake pads use the same high-performance linings as the Corvette for strong fade resistance. ABS is standard.

There also is an accessory front brake-cooling package available for optimized track performance. Chevrolet's engineers did extensive chassis tuning to the Trailblazer SS where they lowered the suspension 1-inchand add 25% stiffer springs. The ride height has been lowered about an inch using 25 percent stiffer for a firmer ride and reducing body roll, and to give the Trailblazer SS a lower, more aggressive demeanor.

The SS model remains distinct with black-diamond grille, deck lid spoiler, and generally looking more like the NASCAR cars Gordon campaigns. It has 20-inch polished aluminum wheels and four-wheel disks (12.8-inch
