Did you move to Claiborne to take advantage of all the amazing hiking trails, off-road parks, lakeside camping sites, and other wilderness recreation? Then you need a terrific vehicle that can keep up with your adventurous spirit, and we think you’ll love the Chevy Trailblazer. This sporty subcompact SUV boasts an affordable price point, making it perfect for those working towards financial goals who demand a quality vehicle.

As your top Chevy dealer near Claiborne, we know part of the fun of living in this corner of Louisiana is access to all the excellent outdoor activities. Claiborne residents enjoy fun and affordable recreation just a short drive away in almost every direction. That’s why we think a vehicle like the Trailblazer, which gets great fuel economy for your journeys and has the features you need once you get there, is just right for Claiborne drivers. Here are the features we believe you’ll love in this outstanding Chevy model.

#1. Available All-Wheel Drive

With exciting destinations all around you, like Jimmie Davis State Park, it’s important that your vehicle can safely navigate the roads, even when there aren’t really any roads to navigate. Luckily, the Trailblazer can be equipped with all-wheel drive, no matter which trim you choose, giving you the comprehensive traction you need on wet and muddy roads. Sending power to the wheels that need it, the Trailblazer is able to maneuver in difficult situations, providing ultimate stability and precision, no matter what.

#2. Off-Road Ready

If you do plan on taking your Trailblazer to some rougher roads, you can opt for the ACTIV trim. It gets you off-road suspension tuning for better performance on uneven surfaces. Plus, it gains you Sport Terrain tires for better handling in various environments. What we love about this trim is that it has a starting MSRP of just below $30,000, so you don’t need to break the bank to enjoy intense adventuring capabilities. [a]

#3. Modest Towing Capacity

Naturally, if you do plan on taking regular trips to Kisatchie National Forest or similar parks, you might need to pull your own vessel out there. Luckily, the Trailblazer can tow up to 1,000 lbs. That’s enough to load up a trailer with a dirt bike or two and bring these fun machines to your destination for you and a buddy.

#4. Solid Ground Clearance

When you do decide to explore rougher roads, the Trailblazer’s high stance will help you drive over small bumps and obstacles with ease. The last thing you want is to be stuck in the wilderness, and with many small-size SUVs being lower to the ground, the Chevy Trailblazer’s high ground clearance gives it a leg up on the competition.

#5. Available Roof Rails

With the Ouachita River weaving in and around Claiborne, many residents here enjoy days of kayaking or floating on the water. If you’ve maxed out the interior cargo hold of your Trailblazer, you can utilize the available roof rack cross rails or roof-mounted side rails. These give you a number of ways to attach exterior cargo accessories, or even directly attach adventure equipment to the top of your Trailblazer.

#6. Accommodating Interior Cargo Space

If you don’t need all of the seats in your Trailblazer, you can stash some long items right inside. The Trailblazer boasts a fold-flat front passenger seat. With this and the seat behind it down, you achieve 8.5 ft of space for lengthier items. So, whether you’re off for an adventure or just bought too many groceries at the store, you can easily make room for all your belongings in your vehicle.

When you need to keep that front passenger seat for a travel companion, you can still create more interior cargo space with the 60/40 split-folding rear seat. This grants you several ways to extend the trunk area. The Trailblazer might be compact, but its cargo abilities will surprise you.

#7. Automatic Climate Control with Remote Start

Louisiana is notoriously one of the most humid states in the U.S. (but we don’t have to tell you that — your hair tells you during the summer months). While we can’t fight the weather outside, at least you can enjoy the right temperature when you’re driving the Trailblazer.

This subcompact SUV boasts available automatic climate control, along with remote start capabilities. That means you can set your preferred temperature, and the vehicle will recall it, activating the air conditioning or heat and returning the vehicle to your selected climate each time you turn it on. Add remote start capabilities, and you can turn on your Trailblazer before you even get in. So, when you’ve enjoyed a weekend of camping at nearby Pavilion RV Park and are packing up your campsite, you can start your Trailblazer before your drive back to Claiborne and get into a perfectly temperate cabin.

#8. All-Weather Floor Mats and Liners

Whether you’re going hiking, kayaking, ATVing, or just picnicking, you might bring a lot of mud and dirt into your Trailblazer. If you have kids or four-legged companions, you know you can’t trust them to wipe off their feet (or paws) before jumping inside. However, you can add available all-weather floor mats and liners to your Trailblazer and protect the interior from dirt and damage. If you’re looking to extend the longevity of your Trailblazer, these thoughtful available features will do just that.

#9. A Hands-Free Power Programmable Liftgate

When your hands are full from the grocery store, antiquing, or running other errands, you’ll love having the hands-free power programmable liftgate. With the keyfob on you, the trunk will detect it, and all you have to do is make a kicking motion beneath it, and it grants you access. You can also program how high it opens, so if you park in a low garage or port, you don’t need to worry about the liftgate hitting the roof. We know the friendly folks of Claiborne are usually willing to lend a hand, but when nobody’s around, you’ll love that this liftgate opens itself.
