It seems as though you don't need to focus on HP and torque, since your Trailblazer had plenty to do the job. You need a vehicle that is properly engineered to tow your trailer without overheating which sadly your Trailblazer can't do. I used to tow a trailer almost as heavy as yours with a Ford Aerostar with only 160 hp and 235 torque. It would go up the Cascade passes at 45 but more importantly it never heated up. Like others said any 150/1500 series pickup or larger SUV should handle your trailer with ease. A big diesel would be ridiculous overkill but if you plan on getting a much bigger trailer at some point go for it.
