Trailblazer Trim Levels

LS

The LS is the base trim, built around practical, everyday features. It comes with a touchscreen display, a digital driver information screen, a rearview camera, and a front passenger seat that folds flat for extra cargo space.

LT

The LT builds on the LS with added convenience, including keyless entry and start, a remote starter, roof rails, and deeper window tinting for extra privacy.

ACTIV

The ACTIV is the off-road-oriented trim. It adds a turbocharged engine, suspension tuning meant for rougher terrain, and underbody skid plate protection.

RS

The RS is the sport-styled trim. It carries the ACTIV’s turbocharged engine and adds larger wheels, sport-inspired interior accents, and a heated steering wheel.

Trailblazer Packages and Upgrades

Beyond the standard trim features, several packages let you add specific functionality without moving up to a different trim level.

Driver-Assistance Packages

Available packages add features like rear park assist, rear cross-traffic alert, and blind-zone monitoring to select trims.

Comfort and Convenience Packages

Other packages bring automatic climate control, wireless device charging, additional USB ports, and a power liftgate, with some trims offering a hands-free, programmable version of the liftgate.

Weather and Trailering Packages

Drivers who need to tow or deal with rough weather can add a trailering package or all-weather floor protection, both available across the lineup.

Choosing the Right Trailblazer Trim for You in Ludington

If you mostly drive around Ludington and want straightforward value, the LS or LT covers the basics well. If you spend time off the pavement near Grand Rapids, the ACTIV’s suspension tuning and skid plates are worth a look. Drivers who want a sportier feel typically gravitate toward the RS.
