does chevrolet trail blazer 4x4 equipped with a 4.2 6 cyl engine have good off road capabilities?

is it good when it comes to driving on mud, snow, rocks? i read that its suspension is not designed to be used off road. Is the jeep grand cherokee better?

There are many suspension packages, some are better then others. If your just driving on muddy dirt roads, or snow youll be fine. Youll be OK even in most off road areas. You will not have enough power or the suspension for the really rough off road trails. If you are planning on doing seriours off roading, you need to look to a bigger motor, and a higher than stick suspension and tires. You will be fine for the off roading that most people do. A stock jeep and a stock trailblazer will be about equal.
