Your 2008 Chevy Trailblazer should have a twist in mount for a 7-way so the 7-way part # HM40920 would fit and work well.
I attached a picture of what the twist in bracket would look like on your vehicle. view full answer...
The Thule Atlantis cargo boxes have been discontinued which is why you are not seeing all of the information. The current generation of Thule boxes are the Force, Sonic, and Pulse and there are few others like the Hyper and Sidekick.
I checked with Thule and there are many boxes you can use that will not interfere with the rear hatch opening. I recommend the Force XT, # TH6358B. It has 18 cubic feet of space and measures 82-3/4 inches long. The mounting feet can move forward and backward... view full answer...
Anytime you plan on towing a trailer that weighs 50 percent or more of the towing vehicle weight, like your 2004 Chevrolet Trailblazer it is a good idea to add weight distribution with sway control. This helps eliminate the stress on both the towing vehicle and the trailer suspension. I am attaching a helpful article that explains weight distribution and what is needed.
I am also including a helpful article that explains how to find the tongue weight of your trailer. You need to know... view full answer...
Since you have a 4 wheel drive 2003 Chevrolet TrailBlazer you can flat tow or use a car transport.
The Roadmaster base plate # 3109-1 you were looking at is a custom fit for your vehicle. The quick disconnect adapter for this base plate to connect it to the tow bar is # 910021-00. If you don't already have a tow bar and if you go with the Falcon # RM-520, it includes the quick disconnect adapter bar already.
Some items you will need to complete your towing setup are:

The Derale Thermal Fan Clutch # D22310 does come with the hose and harness that attaches to the back of the clutch like it sounds like you are looking for. This also does fit your 2004 Chevy Trailblazer. view full answer...
A friction sway control system like the part # 83660 that you referenced is designed to help stop sway that might start on the highway from wind or a semi-truck passing. If you aren't getting sway currently that's great. You may not need the sway control at all, but in reality the # 83660 being installed can't hurt.
Another tip for sway is that if you slide the manual override of your brake controller that usually pulls the trailer straight and stops the sway. You don't want to lock up... view full answer...
For your weight distribution system, I recommend the Equal-i-zer Weight Distribution System w/ 4-Point Sway Control # EQ37060ET. This system is rated for total tongue weights between 200 and 600 lbs. That weight rating includes the loaded trailer weight as well as any weight behind the rear axle of your towing vehicle. The bolt on trailer mounts are recommended to be positioned between 27 and 32 inches back from the center of your coupler and the bars are the 36 inches you stated. This... view full answer...
The Trailer Connector Adapter w/ Lamp-Out Sensor Bypass part # 20142 is designed for a different problem that what you're running into. What is happening in your situation is just a weak ground on your trailer. Just trim a slight bit of your current ground off add a new connector and reconnect it but clean the attachment area up really well with a light sandpaper. You have a good enough ground to operate just the running lights or just the the blinkers but when you try to do them both at... view full answer...
The best way to pick out a transmission cooler for a vehicle is to go with the largest one that will fit the available space in front of the radiator of your vehicle. The Derale Cooler part # D13504 is a large cooler that would do an excellent job. It measures 11" Wide x 12" tall x 7/8" deep.
You should have room for this cooler but you still might measure just to be sure. You will also want the fitting part # D13035 to make installing the cooler easier. This fitting will allow you to... view full answer...
There are 5 things you will need when you plan on flat-towing any vehicle. You need the base plates, a tow bar, safety cables, lighting on the towed vehicle, and most states now require a supplemental brake system. I have attached links to some helpful articles about flat-towing you may want to check out.
In my research I found that your 2007 Chevrolet Trailblazer weighs approximately 5,500 lbs. You will want to check your owner's manual in the Recreational Vehicle Towing section. It will... view full answer...
The propane tanks and/or battery box at the front of your trailer are likely to interfere with the chain hanging brackets on a weight distribution system such as # PS49582. The 500 pound estimated tongue weight though is fine for a system rated up to 750 pounds.
You can still use this system but you will need to add chain hangers # RP58305 and use them in place of the brackets that come with the system. These alternate hangers bolt to the sides of the trailer frame so the tanks and box... view full answer...
We definitely have options available for your 2021 Chevrolet TrailBlazer. This will depend on if you want a portable/removeable system or a permanent system, so I am giving my recommendation for both styles.
For a portable system, I recommend the Blue Ox Patriot # BLU37TR. This will have a wireless controller that plugs into a 12 volt outlet, like a cigarette lighter. To power the actual brake box in the TrailBlazer, you will need to add one of these 12 volt outlets, # RM-9332, directly... view full answer...
The Yakima round bar roof rack # Y00408, # Y53TR, # Y03536, and # Y00245 that fits your 2021 Chevy Trailblazer with a naked roof does not require any drilling to install as it attaches via fixed mounting points on the roof.
I attached a picture that shows how the rack attaches to your roof as well. view full answer...
Yes, a 1,200 lb tongue weight rated weight distribution system would be too much for a setup that only has 400 lbs of tongue weight. You'd have a very rough/harsh ride quality.
The best way to pick out a weight distribution system is to base it off of the loaded tongue weight of the setup when it is loaded and ready to tow. This figure also includes the weight of any cargo behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. I attached a help article on determining tongue weight for you to check... view full answer...
The Dual-View Clip-On Towing Mirror # 11953 (one mirror, not a pair) will work on your 2008 Chevy Trailblazer.
There is another Clip-On Mirror we offer from K-Source, part # KS3891 that I like better, as I believe its ratcheting straps make for a more secure connection.

A lot depends on the wheel bolt pattern of your spare tire and the frame size of the trailer. I have included a link to an FAQ article on measuring for bolt pattern for you. If you have a frame that is up to 3 inches wide by 4 inches high, AND you have a 4 on 4 or 5 on 4-1/2 bolt pattern with 10 inch or larger wheels, go with the Fulton carrier, # FSTC1000301.
For 5, 6, and 8 lug wheels (except 5 on 5 bolt pattern) and wheels up to 16-1/2 inches in diameter with a trailer frame up to 3... view full answer...
There is not a custom fit towing mirror for your 2008 Chevy Trailblazer, so you will need to use a universal style mirror.
My recommendation is the K-Source Universal Dual Lens Towing Mirrors - Clip On - Pair # KS3990. These mirrors have dual lenses that are adjustable for viewing preferences and then utilize a heavy duty rubber ratcheting strap with a quick-release button to ensure your mirrors are snug to reduce vibration. These mirrors are a tool-free installation and will not hurt... view full answer...
For your 2008 Chevy Trailblazer you are going to need to use a universal style towing mirror like the K Source Universal Towing part # 11953 (sold individually) or the Clip-On Mirror we offer from K-Source, part # KS3891 that I like better, as I believe its ratcheting straps make for a more secure connection.

Yes, I checked with Roadmaster and the Explorer tow bar you have is compatible with the XL style base plates like the part # 3109-1 that you referenced. Only issue you might run into is that the Explorer has a 5k capacity which is what you listed the weight of your vehicle as. If you happen to be below 5k then this tow bar would work. Otherwise, you will need to upgrade your tow bar.
The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon 2, # RM-520. This has a 6k capacity which would work... view full answer...
A proportional-type controller will deliver towing performance superior to any time-delayed unit and will also help reduce brake wear on both your trailer and tow vehicle by keeping braking forces more evenly distributed between the truck and trailer.
