Shamefully, I had a 2006 Blazer SS. It had the big Vette engine and went vroom. And chevy fanatics thought it was the coolest thing ever. It was not a good machine. And at about 40K, the transmission broke. Under warranty. Yet, they claimed it was "normal" for it to fail around that mileage. Excuse me? I have had many other brands that go well over 150K before it even starts to slip. So bottom line, they lost me for good. NEVER giving them another chance.

Guys we need to learn to change with the times, This car yes it's not a proper 4x4 but the price benefit it way better, same with the gas mileage if that's what your looking for. Do you criticize the Rav 4 for being a crossover and being good off-road... no. People are leaning more towards small cars because they don't need off-road capabilities like they used to, roads are better and a lot of people don't live in the country. But considering what this car is I think it's great. Just appreciate what you get for the fraction of the cost. And also do you know how much the stinking new Bronco costs!

Because most American buyer don't take vehicles off pavement. I mean we are spending upwards of 30-50k American on vehicles with parts that are easier replaced then repaired. But like I wish GM would make a true off road body on frame 4x4 mid size SUV(sport utility vehicle) not SUV(Suberbun used vehicle). The 3.6L V6 or 2.7L IL4 engine could easily power it.

@@anthonywebber2211 not what Im talking about gm is partially owned by the bank of Shanghai and some other bank in China making up 51 percent of ownership is not American anymore ever since the 2008 market crash and bailout (GM are sellouts) unlike Ford that is still 100 percent American and at least mopar is italian and not the (RONA) Chinese.

So, I have one. I've taken it on roads that make this one look tame. I didn't spin the wheels near as much and most of the time didn't have it in 4 wheel drive. If you drive the car it works alot better.

[@randomdrivecamsblackvuedr7824]

Oh and I don't have off road tires.

Chevy fans on the s10 blazer “Perhaps I treated you too harshly”

[@Trueno1600]

So it can (barely) make it up a rutted dirt road, and nothing broke like Tommy said. Woopty-f****n'-doo. Seriously? Is that what makes people excited now? We went from XJs, Bronco IIs and S-10 Blazers to this crap? I once had a Festiva that would have gone up this road with less effort. These are sad times we are now living in :(

[@milesdzineku9940]

I saw one on the road today... I was disappointed, I’m not even a Chevy guy it’s just a bad vehicle

[@randommcplayer625]

Yup a Bad car

[@nevco8774]

It is not so boring like slowly crawling/clawing up in your VW Touareg but it did the job.

[@Wrangler59]

Chevy should take this back to the shop and make a actual Blazer to compete against the Bronco, Wrangler and 4Runner.

[@randommcplayer625]

Yeah recall it

10 grand per cylinder to spin tires and tear up the trail eh?

I bought one of these Trailblazers for the fuel economy and honestly don't regret it. It's been a awesome vehicle. My other car is a Corvette and a GMC Sierra so you old dogma dudes can chill already.

[@jaysson1151]

The Chevy Tofu! 😂😂 A capable subcompact crossover would be welcome if you gotta commute a long ways in an area that floods a lot from heavy rain like here in the greater New Orleans area. I’m curious how that Bronco Sport performs. At least it’s boxy, looks like an SUV, and seems pretty capable for what it is. Plus it won’t break the bank to purchase and commute with.

[@NYRM1974]

It's nice to go to the supermarket but it's not a off-road SUV. My 2004 Chevy Trailblazer EXT LS with its 5.3 L naturally aspirated V8 engine with active fuel management. As well as being flex fuel capable. My SUV has proven itself as a true off-roader.

[@ThePsycholist]

I feel like some proper tires would help a lot

[@gregorystephens9104]

I'm not exactly a GM guy but in my opinion, they kind of butchered this, okay not kind of totally butchered it.

[@randommcplayer625]

Yup true

[@richfarfugnuven6308]

Kind of a Subaru before they went to stupid CVT'S...

[@ericharrison619]

Yep, Exactly the same idea as the old GL/Loyale of the 80s! Only those old Subaru's had a soul and were pretty damn tough.

Great review Tommy, keep em coming. Just found TFL and only been watching you guys for a couple months and I have lots of vids to catch up on!

Trailblazer?! Who are they trying to kid?! As far as power is concerned, that thing is absolutely anemic and design wise, it's ugly as sin! It looks like the love child of a newer Camaro and a Nissan Juke. Definitely not worthy of the name!

[@anthonynancydelarosa6781]

I own a 2004 Chevy Trailblazer EXT LS and frankly speaking it is way better than the 2021 Chevy Trailblazer I don't know what happened with the engineers at Chevrolet but they should go back to the drawing board and maybe even have a conversation with me when it comes to a 4x4 the problem with all wheel drive is is that it's referred to as part-time four-wheel drive it is not a full-time system unlike a traditional 4x4 which is full-time four-wheel drive traction you don't have that with the all-wheel drive the problem is the 2021 was designed for fuel economy whereas the 2004 was designed for what is intended purpose was to be a Trailblazer and for performance. This is why I never bought the 2010 Trailblazer or the SS because quite frankly with the 5.3 l V8 I have in it with the YN supercharger who needs an SS I have seven passenger capabilities think about that and it's built on a truck frame way stronger. There's a lot of people buying 2003-2004 all the way up to 2010 trailblazers and recycling them into all-terrain vehicles with a lot of aftermarket goodies the sky's the limit it only comes down to your imagination look at the many KZbin videos on lifted trailblazers just to give you some level of inspiration food for thought

[@ks1ngh27]

That's a good looking SUV. I saw one in the neighborhood and to do double-take.

I dont care what you say about those tires on that thing, they are hi-way tires.

[@charlieg.6242]

Wow, i was gonna buy a Steltos, bur after seeing this, i think i have to give my decision some thought. I might just go for this. Very impressed with the off-road prowess.

[@BoopSnoot]

Seltos is offroad styled, but is really meant for onroad duty with its AWD more designed for snow and wet leaves and the like. Onroad I think its nicer in many ways, and the 7-speed DCT is very snappy shifting with a higher horsepower engine. That said, this is definitely better offroad, has that folding front seat, and can even tow 1K lbs which the Seltos can't.

[@scarroll625]

I stopped watching at 3 cylinders

[@MrMoose-mf1oy]

“One of the best looking crossovers on the market” lol I vomited in my mouth a little. This is one of the ugliest on the markets

It is one of the best hands down. You want to know what makes me vomit, that Ford Bronco. Way to copy off a Jeep.

[@wint_62]

[@TFLoffroad]

Ford did NOT do the original design. They were brought on board after the design foundation was set by willys overland and Bantam.

[@theRooster722]

@@TFLoffroad Willys, Bantam, and Ford all submitted their own prototypes for the US govt when they requested a military vehicle to be manufactured. The Ford Pygmy prototype from WW2 looks almost exactly like the Jeep Wrangler of today. The Bantam and Willys prototypes were not even close.

[@richardziemies8247]

For climbing like you did you should have used the 2and gear on the manual part of the shifter. You would not have spun that bad. Just letting you know what I do with my Trax. It gets me thru snow,ice and everything else off road. But,I take it slow so I dont have that much wheel spin.

[@letour32rr]

I’m honestly happy this sub segment is taking off. These days, the off-roading I do isn’t much harder than this and my current 2016 Jeep Patriot handles it well. That said, a vehicle that doesn’t have skid plate and tow hooks could possibly do that trail too, but when you have the whole family with you, being stranded due to cracked oil pan or just in a ditch is not an option. And before anyone says “Just get a real Jeep or 4Runner etc, why have something that gets terrible gas mileage and drive ability (not to mention extra price) just for roads/trails like this?

[@Firealone9]

I've never seen something touted as an offroader struggle so much to get up a hill.

[@randommcplayer625]

Hahaha😂😂🤣🤣

[@baldheadlogic]

I am impressed by this design inside & outside. Glad to the see the 9speed transmission. My biggest reservation is regarding the longevity of the 3 cyl engine.

[@breakawayadventures6650]

a 4 cylinder would make it much better i couldn't see any reason to go higher than that
