The base model for 24k makes sense, fully loaded for 35k makes no sense.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Sadly, I find most vehicle prices now a bit absurd.

[@IRQ1Conflict]

I am of the opposite opinion. I can get one fully loaded for just over 40k Canadian. No other vehicle in this class can touch it for value. I would pay a premium for a large 4cyl normally aspirated motor though.

[@otherZinc]

​@@IRQ1Conflict, Facts! Absolutely nothing in it's class is close!

[@natecurrier]

Newer sub here. Cool little car and a great amount of information shared, thank you! Maybe a note - you’re a little verbose. Completely fine, but it might make reviews easier on you if you (for example) didn’t tell us you were closing the door, starting the car, getting to things in a moment, making sure the volume was down, spending 5 seconds telling us that there’s lighting controls, etc. 👍🏻👍🏻

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thanks and noted. 😉

[@beckyconley8565]

Great review ❤

[@GTGarageTalk]

Thank you

[@larrymandel8869]

Just one small correction on something you said earlier…2018 was the year in which rear camera cameras were mandated for all passenger light duty vehicles, not 2014!

[@amiemartin109]

Does the trailblazer have a wet timing belt like the trap ? If so, I’ll pass on this.

[@jobu9224]

I am 100 percent sure that the Blazer is not Chevrolet's largest SUV

[@GTGarageTalk]

You would be correct.

[@jeffreycope7981]

The traverse is the largest crossover suv

[@tashadavis607]

I thought I read 3rows for the trailblazer

[@GTGarageTalk]

Last time they made trailblazer it had a third row option, but that was in the mid 2000s. Now it is a subcompact 2-row

[@jeffreycope7981]

Wrong

[@jorgetetsuoikeda5677]

Carro bonito, quanto custa esse carro Trailblazer RS completo já com teto solar panoramico em Dolar.

@@GTGarageTalk muito obrigado Sankio

[@jessiescott6759]

Do it has a CD player also is it add on this SUV model

[@GTGarageTalk]

No. Cd players have disappeared from cars in favor of usb and wireless streaming.

[@jeffreycope7981]

No

[@Davsoto120]

That trailblazer would be perfect if it had at LEAST a 4cyl 😔

[@GTGarageTalk]

You think the number of cylinders matters? Not how it actually drives?

[@Davsoto120]

@@GTGarageTalk It would help with HP and torque, it could be NA and not rely on a turbo which Chevy turbos are infamous for cracking, so it’d just be several less parts to not have to worry about breaking. The 3 cyl is noisier than a 4 bc it isn’t naturally balanced and instead uses a balancing plate to help balance the cylinder’s compression sequence. So yes I do believe cylinders matter especially since it would improve how it drives… satisfied with my answer?

[@CRVgarage]

I don't think cylinder count matters as long as the motor makes enough power smoothly. This same discussion happened when V8s were replaced by V6s.

[@rickbarg3980]

Why are the lights flasing

[@GTGarageTalk]

Just how the camera captured them

[@crazedxfighter]

is there no v6 turbo for a blazer?

[@GTGarageTalk]

Naturally aspirated V6 on the Blazer (not this Trailblazer, different vehicle)

[@jeffreycope7981]

The blazer has a v6 . The trailblazer only has a 3cyl

[@DaystromDataConcepts]

Nice little car and great for everyday use. However, nothing with a 1.3 litre, 3 cylinder engine should have the word "sport" associated with it in any way. Really suprised an American manufacturer has gone down this route, using a tiny screamer to try and boost power. This is the sort of thing I'd expect in a French car, not an American.

[@GTGarageTalk]

Gotta love those CAFE standards for fuel economy.

[@jimjones9900]

@@GTGarageTalkmy 2024 Kia has a 4 cylinder, doesn’t need turbo (which will need replaced), and gets better fas milage. It also doesn’t have a breaker box on top of the battery, and that annoying hood release that always breaks on Chevy vehicles.

[@uiktorion]

Thank you, so thorough! I'm not a fan of using "she" when referring to objects. Hearing this regularly would cause me to not watch.

[@GTGarageTalk]

My apologies.

[@uiktorion]

Thank you, super kind!!

[@tdsheadcoach]

🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾🤦🏾😂😂😂😂

[@jimjones9900]

Then, to make sure you don’t continue to get offended, make sure you stay away from: Latin, French, Italian, Spanish, Portuguese, and all of their sub Latin languages. I’d hate for you to hear gender in language.

[@ArthurSpencer-xk6cu]

Wow a 1300cc turbo charged motorcycle engine in a 3,100lb car loaded with people and gear. That engine should last forever 😂😂😂

[@JamesWide]

With a properly geared transmission 👍

[@otherZinc]

The Trailblazer kills absolutely every car in it's class, including the Overrated Toyota, Nissan, Kia and anything else anyone can think of.

[@GTGarageTalk]

To each their own.
