I compared both 2024 trax and trailblazer, I chose the trailblazer, and think you missed a few things here, the engine upgrade is not just about hp and displacement, the 1.3 has a timing chain, VRs the 1.2 having a timing belt, ever see how a belt can degrade, clog the oil pickup and burn up a motor? I have, a few times. This matters 6 plus years down the line. The other issue not talked about here, is insurance rates on trax vrs trailblazer, the trailblazer insurance rates are in the top 3 lowest that can be found, the trax insurance rates substantially more, and this matters for a monthly total for transportation costs. That is the main two reasons I chose the trailblazer. The third was 3k off msrp…that brand the trailblazer into trax cost. 4 thing is the local dealer had the exact color, and every option I was wanting. A Trailblazer LS, Larger motor, convenience and confidence packs, and the fountain blue color. At around 25k otd, at 5.9%, on 72 months. Well below msrp price, OTD! Try that with a trax…..both are good low cost transport, with good tech. A nabor has a trax she loves it.

The mistake many AWD drivers make in slippery conditions is driving more aggressively than their brakes can stop them. I've been passed by some such drivers who were going too fast for conditions in winter, and saw them in the ditch a mile or two later, while I was safely still traveling in my front wheel or rear wheel vehicles.

Very true. I need AWD as I live on a mountain in CT. Too many times I have been stranded at the bottom of the mountain with my FWD Honda and Saab with snow tires (the Saab was markedly better than the Honda, but still could not always get me home). When those cars wore out in 2013 and 2018, I bought an AWD Subaru and an AWD Buick Envision. Now with snow tires I can get home no matter how much snow is on the ground (less than 7 inches of course). The FWD cars struggled with more than 2 inches. The cars were great with FWD in northern NJ but it was a different world in CT in the mountains.

I would choose the Trax you know heartbeat. But with a 1.3 GDI turbo, if I intended to keep it long term, I would be very loyal to old-fashioned oil changes of three to four thousand miles. Just my opinion. And if you live in the snowbelt, don't forget they still do sell winter tires which add a lot more traction. A front-wheel drive with winter tires will outperform an all-wheel-drive with Summer slicks any day in snow/ice. Standing by for all the hateful replies...

The Trax would be my choice as well. It’s one of the few vehicles that excites me. I am retired, living in Southeastern Wisconsin. We probably get a little more snow than you do but front wheel drive is fully adequate for me as well. The condition of your tires is more of a factor than how many wheels are driving you. The 2RS is my favorite looking model, but I really like the analog dash and manual climate control of the LS & 1RS. I prefer a regular key as well. I realize that it’s not 1978 anymore when I bought my first new vehicle. You could really custom order a vehicle to your exact specifications.

I don’t exactly care for some of the available colors, but we got black. I think Trax is stunning in black. But they are going fast around here. I got ours when notified an incoming transport semiwas coming in with 1 car not tagged ($500 deposit). As I hurried to the dealer, the transport was just unloading and I purchased sight unseen. What a surprise seeing it in person. I highly recommend the Trax line.

Price = Trax. These two are just too similar. Why pay more for the Trailblazer if you don't need AWD? If you do, different story. Also... As messed up as it is, if you ever need to live out of your vehicle, the fact that you can fold down the front passenger seat is going to be a huge factor for some in buying the Trailblazer over the Trax. Get yourself a somewhat thick, roll-up, foam mattress, along with a sleeping bag. Find a secluded spot to park. There you go. On a more pleasant note: Maybe you need to make a solo road trip. Money a bit tight. Lower that front passenger seat and sleep one night on the road. No need for a motel. AWD and that folding front passenger seat is going to persuade at least some folks to get a Trailblazer over a Trax. But seriously, why buy a FWD drive Trailblazer with the 1.2 liter engine when you can get a similar-looking Trax, also FWD with the same engine for over $1K less money. I'm sorry, just makes no sense to get a Base trim Trailblazer over a Base trim Trax. Save that over $1K for gas at the pump.

Front wheel drive can sometimes catch you by surprise in snow if you hit the gas rounding a turn expecting the front wheels to pull you through that turn. Sometimes they lose traction and you end up sliding straight and not making that turn.

I need a car and usually buy toyota or honda. They dont have much on their lots. I notice plenty of Trax available and Nissan kix available. Might go with the trax and hope it holds up with not many problems which is why I usually buy toyota.
@SunnynPhilly Жыл бұрын
Yea, the price of Toyotas and Hondas has really shot up over the last 3 years, especially with dealer market adjustments. My wife got a Subaru Crosstrek in January 2020 for 25k. They have gone up in $ too but not as much as Toyota and Honda. Mazda has better deals but I’m not a big fan of their styling.

Interesting they would have Trax available when the dealerships in my area only have a few and those are usually sold before they can pull them off the truck. And they aren't getting anymore than a few more in here and there looking months out. One dealership I spoke with is getting 1 in through the end of July.

I have a 2016 trax and have had nothing but trouble with it since i leased it new in 2016, i then bought it out of the lease in 2019 and now in 2023 it has 81,000 miles, many new or fixed mechanical parts, drives horribly (with regular oil changes & maintenance) and violently shakes when idling. It drives even worse with heat or ac on plus an added smell from the vents. Hope the new one is made better

I think the Trax looks better. It's more sleek towards the rear from the side view and the Trailblazer appears more stubby.

If the trax had a power lift gate and fold down front seat I would trade my trailblazer. Especially if they had the oasis blue. It’s worth it that I got mine earlier since I don’t like the fountain blue.

For me it's comfort. I have a couple of physical issues. Getting in and out comfortably as well as seat and armrest comfortably are important. That's especially true for commutes. They both look good to me. Trailblazer is boxy and is like the distant cousin of Jeep (looks only) and the other is like baby brother to midsize styling SUV. I suspect they both perform roughly the same way. At the end of the day I think I'd just test drive both. I'm also considering the Envista. I like that coupe sedan look. Hard to call it an SUV. LOL
@thilehoffer7 ай бұрын
I have and would buy again the Buck Envista just because it looks cooler and has a better warranty. Also, doesn’t the touch screen have a new computer in the Trax? Isn’t it more responsive? Not sure…
@HuyVu-et1gv Жыл бұрын
Thanks for a very informative video. Looks like Chevrolet has got a couple of winners here. The Trailblazer is a little older and its sales numbers are going down. This means you might be able to find a good deal for it. The Trax is totally sexy looking. The only thing with it, apart from FWD only, are the tail lights. Why did they have to over style the taillights like that?
@dolan447 Жыл бұрын
Fwd with good winter tires does the job really really good, i got a Chevy Cobalt and i live in a hilly neighborhood in Quebec where we get alot of snow. I think that an awd isn't necessary plus i really don't like how the trailblazer looks so yea Trax definitely

The kicker for me was the front passenger seat in the Trailblazer folding down for additional length of cargo space. That's it. I agree about AWD, but I'll take that as an advantage for the Trailblazer, as well. I do like the styling of the Trax, too; I'm looking forward to the Trailblazer refresh and the new colors.

I've always suspected some customers just want the AWD because they think it's better or for vanity reasons. When I lived in New Jersey, any substantial snowstorm would tie up the roads to the point where traffic hardly moved. Having AWD does no good sitting on the Garden State Parkway in a snowstorm creeping along at 15 mph.
