2024 Chevy Trailblazer RS: A Real Trailblazer? 

how do you like it? I hear that it can be flat towed behind a RV?

I was looking at a Trailblazer as well, but ended up in a Nissan Rogue. Its a class larger, some nicer interior quality, price with options I wanted was about the same, but the Rogue has rear vents for passengers, way more room, 37mpg was better in spite of being larger, its 205hp/225ftlbs so more passing power, and it can tow 1500lbs which the Trailblazer can't. Trailblazer is good, but a bit overpriced.

@@BoopSnoot I’ve had a few Rogues as rental vehicles. Nice vehicles. I’ve always liked them.

I'm happy with it so far if it stays reliable! I really wanted a hybrid, but all the Toyota, Honda, and Kia/Hyundai compact class hybrids had markups at the time. I hear the market is returning to normal, so perhaps its not as bad now. @@OrdinaryG33K-SF

​@@BoopSnootwhat trim level did you get???

Base FWD S trim, and then I went online and ordered everything to make it less rental car looking, lol! I liked the 17" wheels more that match the dark gray metallic paint. The S also has tinted headlights/taillights which for some reason the other trims don't get. @@joetarlos

Lol, this is so much less capable and more boring than a CX-30 that it isn’t even funny.

@@TheDiameter Oh… you again, what’s the story MazdaBoy? All flights for Tokyo were booked ?

Ah, you know now that you’ve stated you’re a woman it really helps put this all in perspective. You make emotional statements based on feeling instead of logic and facts. That explains your irrational clinging to brands that have steadily declined in quality over the last several decades while ever increasing their prices. The reason why all American automakers have flirted with, or went bankrupt at least once in the last 30 years is due to how badly they perform in a free market economy. Ford moved its manufacturing to Mexico and financially restructured hurting its employees pensions, GM went bankrupt, cancelled 1/2 its brands and moved its manufacturing to China and Mexico, Dodge had to be sold 3 separate times to stay above water… it’s sad really. But keep propping up chronic failures for some blind flag waving patriotism while they fleece you out of your money.

@@TheDiameter Because I’m a woman? Are you serious ? Maybe nobody told you but it’s 2023 and my reactions are not just out of emotions, but more like out of anger. I find it rich people like you even dare to mention issues they are greatly responsible for by acting like selfish ‘you know what’ My reactions are perfectly legit and match my deepest convictions, the American and automobile history are going together. There are two kinds of people in this country today, true patriots who embrace every aspect of our nation, the best as the sometimes less good, together as one and the others, selfish and ego centered, only wondering how all the chances we got can serve them Just as there are two kinds of parents, those loving all their kids the same, no matter how well they perform at school and those who throw rocks… I have no problem imagining to which of those categories you belong I may be a woman, but I’m more American than you’ll ever be, have more honor and loyalty that you could possibly fathom… my faith, my patriotism, my commitment, are bigger than you could ever understand and put me in a position where I can look down at you with disdain and pity and greater shame for yourself than you will ever experience I could hate you, for being unpatriotic and misogynistic… but instead I pity you

@@taniabanes4707And instead of addressing one fact I put before you you responded with pure emotion, no logic, no facts, just feelings. Thanks for making my point.

Still running well for you?

Still a good vehicle after 5 months? I'm ready to get one too.

@@asciishallreceive3871 Still loving it.

@@Keepinitfun Good to know, thanks!

Unfortunately they still have modern GM reliability - which isn’t much.

AWD is going to drive all the wheels instead of either Front or Rear two wheels. This improves traction particularly during take off and turning. More useful for snow and ice then it will be for rain, you're less likely to get stuck if all 4 wheels a trying to move you then just 2. The driving modes for example snow/ice modes, usually just set different throttle mapping to smooth out your acceleration and apply less torque which make it less likely to spin the wheels, also they will have a more aggressive traction control setting to try and reduce unwanted wheel spin and send the torque where it is required.

It’s a Chevy, obviously the interior noise is bad lol

@@TheDiameter that's not true at all. I have a 2021 Silverado 1500 and it's the quietest interior I've ever had personally.

@@slocavky I’m sorry you’ve never experienced a well built vehicle

Actually this is quieter than the 2019 Honda accord sport I had

Obviously the top trim CX-30 is head and shoulders above anything else in its class for under $40k, but Ben is doing the right thing by giving the under-market competition air time.

I wouldn't want a turbo 3 cylinder from chevy. I'd much rather have the NA engine from mazda. Or to a lesser extent a honda hrv

@@gristle_lumps8190I wouldn’t want anything from Chevy that wasn’t their 2.7 Turbo personally.

28,000 on mine no issues, oil changed every 4,000-4500 miles

Tough choice

Kona

@@TheDiameter Seems like the tires are better on the Kona too

@@MrVictoria69I’d say this Chevy is a bottom market option

The warranty is better on the Kona too I believe

@@Brian_Eugene_LeeI’m assuming you’re saying that because it would greatly reduce the cost?

@@Brian_Eugene_LeeThat is available! And costs less than this one! Can probably get that for about $28-$29k.
