Future
The next generation TrailBlazer was to be built on an upgraded version of the current GMT360 platform called the GMT361. It was scheduled to be launched in spring 2007, but in January 2006, GM decided to just refresh the current platform and call the vehicle a GMT360NG.
However, in June 2006, GM announced that the GMT360NG program was also canceled due to the large investment. GM has recently decided to extend the current TrailBlazer until at least the 2009 model year. If a new TrailBlazer is released, it will be a modified version of the SUV currently on sale.
Responding to criticism of rebadging, GM will only build the TrailBlazer and GMC Envoy in the future. Buick will instead get the Enclave, a GM Lambda platform-based crossover SUV to replace the Rainier, while Saab will replace the 9-7X with the Theta-based 9-4X.
General Motors is expected to introduce a new crossover SUV based off the new pavement-oriented Lambda chassis. Because of this, the TrailBlazer is expected to be refreshed in a manner similar in size and price to the Nissan Xterra, creating a niche off-road vehicle that will slot under the Tahoe in price range. It is likely to retain the GMT360 platform and continue production at its Moraine, Ohio assembly facility.
