My 2007 Envoy has 164,000 and everything's doing great, except for the gas gauge. I had a 2002 Trailblazer that was going great until 250,000 when the tranny gave out.
My 03 (the JailBlazer as it's known) is about to hit 240k, I've put 140k of that on there and my mother put another 70k on it before me. Overall it's been a great car for me. Tranny crapped out at 217k but I found one out for a wrecked TB and that's fine and well now. I've replaced both front wheel bearings twice each and the RF needs it again. It's had three windshields, two front bumper covers (needs another), driver side fender and front door have been replaced and then driver's side rear door has been re-skinned. Beyond body damage from hitting deer and the trans there has been no other issues with the old bird.
I was never able to get above 16 around town.. think I came close to 30 driving back from Bend with a light throttle and a lot of flat or downhill stretches.
Bought a 2005 LS Trailblazer new in 2005-6 cylinder. A couple of valves died at about 80K, cost $2200 for complete valve job. GM said it wasn't their fault. The air pump died at 38K, and again at 110K. First time dealer fixed it for $400, second time I fixed it myself for $120. Key switch and gas cap replaced under warranty. Windshield replaced once. Headlight bulbs replaced twice. Transmission fluid at 105K, brake job and brake fluid at 110K. Oil changed every 5K, usually semi-synth, sometimes full synth. Currently using full synth. Battery replaced three times. Battery will die in two weeks if the car is not driven. Third set of tires are still good, probably 30K left on them. Shocks and struts replaced at 150K. Realigned at that time. Had never needed alignment before that. If the wind is blowing from the right front, the wind noise will drive most people crazy. Never could find a fix for this. While under warranty was told that they all do it. No fix possible. Mileage has usually been around 15-16 in town, and around 20 on the road. Will get a little better(23-24) at steady cruise speeds. It is still being used as the second car, and still is a reasonably reliable vehicle. Body is tight and sound, Handles well. All around a pretty good car.
We just purchased a 2005 Envoy XL SLT is currently has 121109 miles. Runs great!! Looks great for the age. We are having issues with the automatic AC, but should be good once re place the ambient temp sensor and rear resistor.
2006 GMC Envoy Denali 98k when i bought it earlier this year. so far so good just a few misc things to address, looks to be maybe a trans line minor leak along passenger side.
I did replace the battery but it was definitely and old battery which in FL 3 years is good.
Have 241K looks almost new, replaced tranny at 238K motor mounts, Plugs and cleaned throttle body often enough. Have not given in to replacing thermostat and probably will since I get "not to temp" code when it feels like it, I reset it and its happy until it isnt.
After motor mount replaced I still get vibration at low idle ( less than 700 rpm)
doesnt burn or leak oil, change every 5k or less.
Ideas re: vibration and low idle speed?

Over 368,000. I can't get the official mileage since I have a cast on my right foot and wife has the car. All I know is that it's still the original engine 4.2L and the 4th transmission (make sure you get the updated 3rd and 4th gear in your rebuild).
2004 Trailblazer LT. Original owner. 170k. Never a problem. Changed fuel pressure regulator and all ignition coil packs last month. Otherwise regular oil changes, spark plugs every 90k miles and keep that throttle body clean!
