Umm Everytime i c a tb it reminds me of a envoy..lol its maybe i drive a envoy. but Whats the different? I know they changed the rims, tires, and the back lights. I personally like the shape of a envoy, i mean the front. Is there any major changes between these 2 suvs?

I actually prefer the exterior look of the TB and the interior/dash of the Envoy. As far as I know ..the mechanics/running gear are the same?

Yup, everything rolls down the same assembly line. :)

i really like the grill on the envoy. That was my first choice, but the envoys where a little more expensive than the TBs.

Same GMT360 platform for the TB, Envoy, Bravada, Rainier, Ascender and Saab. Just different trim levels and sheet metal. Same Moraine Ohio assembly line. EXT's XL's and XUV's made at Oklahoma City using the GMT370 platform.

Actually I had a different experience on this; a dealership I looked at (not where I ended up getting my truck from) had a black envoy SLT, and a red TB LT with the same mileage and year, both were stickered at the same exact price.

I like the interior of the envoy much better...i think the gmc has a better interior quality than my chevy. Also, sitting in the front passenger seat of my tb the dash looks "wierd". I think this is because of the way it it angled towards the driver but im never in the passenger seat so what do i care. The envoy is not like this.
I do prefer the exterior of the trailblazer however. It looks more aggressive and seems to have a different stance than the envoy.
Just my opinion...

I've never noticed that angle thing... I've got a customer bringing me his TB in a couple weeks so I'll have to remember to look for that. Odd.
I agree with the looks thing to a degree, too... I look at a TB and it makes me want to put a lift on it; whereas I look at an envoy and want to lower it (eventual goal for my truck).

I think the TrailBlazer was designed for a more younger hip crowd and the Envoy for Older refinded group. Chevy the HEARTBEAT of America. GMC is more like your Dad's car. The TB has a little Escalade cut to it. :cool:

You know I must see 15 TB's for every Envoy around here. Must be the slightly more aggressive Chevy styling, and probably the lower price makes them so popular. Wonder what the sales ratio is?

Around here I see the exact opposite, or so it seems. There are a TON of envoys around here; it's rare that I don't stop at a red light in the vicinity of at least 1-2 others.

I'm with George. I like the TB exterior and the Envoy interior.

I'm pretty much the same as everyone else. I like the exterior of the TB and the interior of the Envoy. I see a lot of TBs compared to the Envoys in Georgia.

haha lucky for me not enuff Envoys here in Toronto:) You only see them outta toronto, in small towns! Ppl here prefer Jap cars. I would prefer the tb but i just dont like the tb grill. I personally like the grill on the envoy n thats why i asked my dad to buy me in the first place.
I havent done anything with my envoy, My friend was selling me 22' wheels for 2gs Canadian. Thats a pretty good price but i just dont have any money right now. All the money i make, it goes away every friday when filling the tank:(
