as far as the Tahoe, i'm not going full size again. i'm gonna mount a rod rack and a couple kayak racks up top. maybe a bike rack out back. I see a lot of these trailblazers came with a straight six. whadda y'all think about that? these trucks are really cheap. get an 05 or 06 for like 3K. are they reliable? will they tow? don't really give a sh!t that much about mileage as when I commute I drive like 2.4 miles a week. other driving will be a weekend home depot run or pulling the trailer to one of our boat ramps, both within 3 miles. if I snatch one up with 150K on it, can I expect another 50 to 75K?

Cool

The Chevy straight 6 was a pretty reliable engine. Has more torque than a V6.
I have a friend that has a 05 Trailblazer and she loves it. Has 135K on it. I've never had one so I can't say from personal experience if they are good or bad. I think it's like any other vehicle, if it's been properly maintained it should last for a long time.
