By accident I found the report on Pathfinder, what you're talking about. It's called Chinook, just for Canadian market, where the difference is only 4WD Dial Switch, and the report is here -

The trailblazer is quite capapble offroad, think about lifting it with BF/oodrich tires on the same rims.
Its very powerful engine is amazing with a correct mix of suspension and tyres

Maddie, thank you for your advise, I have been driving the trailblazer for 5 years and to far extend I know its capability; it is powerful car and very great for road and long drive i drive it for 3750 km within 48 h in summer with no problem and in very comfort situationee, ask Bu Shahid why not...:032: "Lifting is not a magic word to success in a desert, but a way to disaster"... hmmm...

but when it comes to offroading which I tried it with Almost 4x4 and others it has some limitation, not because of its power or engine but it is about its ground clearance (specially the main two steel chassis supports) and the low front pumper (including the AC and engine radiators behind it) which will be damaged easily with any mid level offroading trip in addition to it weight (which I can come over it by lowering the tires PSI but the same has more bad effect on the first two points (clearance and low pumper)) adding to that the weak fixation of the towing points (do not worry Capri I am getting proper rear towing point as well enhance the remaining front one hehehe)
As for the modifications, where I agree with Capri; honestly i am not interested in any modification neither for my Trailblazer nor for my planned new car (either the Pathfinder or the FJ), maybe a skid plat, a decent suspension or desert light but for sure not lifting or extra large tires....etc
appreciate your opinion but this is my personal experience
