i ride with kids with blasters and they always get stuck i mean always they will be goin up a hill and it will take them forever because they dig themselves a hole then they gotta get off and pick it up and go back down try again. But the trailblazer does get stuck if you lose your momentum goin through deep snow and plus its got reverse so u can sometimes get out.

Not only does it have reverse, but since it is an auto, you can get off, push it and give it gas at the same time. Try doing that with a clutch

if you have good tires on the t.blazer it goes all right if you keep your momentum going.[img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-cool.gif[/img]

For what it's worth they both are going to <U>suck</U> in anything over 8" of snow
That is the very reason I bought 4x4.
The only advantage that I would give to a blaster vs the trailblazer, is once it was stuck, it will be lighter than a trailblazer and you won't have a heart attack trying to lift its heavy butt out off the hole.

my freind had a trailblazer and said he never got it stuck. I believe it because I rode it through alot of mud and it did not hesitate.



Now we both drive scramblers 4x4 i got mud tires they never get stuck.

The only time i ever rode in snow i thought it sucked i couldnt get any traction. I would get a 4x4 if you wanna ride in snow. although this past winter there was an ice storm here in austin it covered the whole city with bout 3 in of ice no snow at all just ice the whole city was pretty much shut down and the streets were empty. So i played a little jackass and took my boss out on some major streets. I got it out to 183 (a 4 lane highway) i found that when i finally get up to speed and throw my handle bars one way i would spin out like a ****. I pulled off a 1080 once. passed a cop once it was funny seeing him try to stop then try to turn around to stop me but i just got off on the grass were i could get some traction and split. then the sand and salt trucks finally made it from up north. I hope we have ice again next year.
