Can The 2021 Chevy TrailBlazer ACTUALLY Blaze A Trail Up Tombstone Hill? Let's Find Out! Ep. 2 

exactly!

The long wheelbase traiblazer was available with a 5.3 V8 as an option. A friend of mine had one.

@@hdz12ez didn't know that...those were pretty rare. The one he pictured in the vid was a 4.2 inline 6 anyway.

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.

@@WW-wf8tu I never understood people like you, you have one problem with a vehicle and all of a sudden it's the end of the world for that company. I've known people who've had problems with literally every brand automaker, cars/trucks are mechanical, mechanical things break.....

Nope, far, far different opposite wing. Barely even related. Kind of like RAM and Chrysler 200. 😉

Besides the Camaro and Corvette, Everything else would be at home in a rental fleet.

They divided up the design teams and the Blazer got all the losers...

You know NOTHING ABOUT THE CHEVY TRAILBLAZER!

They think it struggled massively to get up all of this?? I’m surprised unlike it’s competitors they actually put a little thought into making it better off-road

The 1983-2001 Chevy S10 Blazer/GMC S15 Jimmy are some of my all time favourite vehicles!!

😒

The seats comfortable…..? I see mixed reviews….

@@lakerboy16 it'll at least be better than a truck. of course its no rolls Royce but whenever I hear anyone complain about car seat comfort i tell them to ride a horse first before complaining

Did you get the bose system? And how does it sound.

@@lakerboy16fuck no. My right ham string hurts after 30 mins of driving

I disagree. Toooo expensive to buy and this is a multipurpose car not a rock crawler.

@@SeanChandlerSF You should see the 2021 Trailblazer Phoenix 4x4 sold in the Philippines then. Looks so much better over the US one.

@@hestarellas yes im saying they could have multiple models and packages like the bronco from a basic awd/4wd base model for people that dont plan to go offroad all the way up to the hardcore offroad badass blazer like the bronco thats why the bronco has surpassed expectations and basically sold way more then they expected with the preorder Broncos they had to push back the date that people will get them the world is changing and more and more people want a super capable vehicle to either drive on or offroad thats why jeeps have done well and thats why ford broght back the bronco as offroad vehicle the old blazers were much more capable of going offroad and im sure chevy is going to do something in the future if ford did it thats tellimg you something because they are smart people thats why they have not went bankrupt like the other 2 American companies and even ram is bringing a hard core half ton and 2500 offroad truck people want a vehicle to take them anywhere they want to go and thats why people are buying more and more big trucks and SUVs and overlanding and offroading and camping are more popular then a few years ago the pandemic has made people want to get away to remote locations to get away from the City

They could, but they don't need to. They have mid and full size trucks if you want that stuff, and most people that buy one of these won't do serious off roading.

@@BlakeParker15 yes but not a hard core SUV not everyone wants a pickup truck just look at the new Broncos do Ford has off-road trucks as well but there is a big segment that want off-road SUVs that's why Ford built the Broncos and why Jeep sells a lot of wranglers and people can always buy the lower trim models without the hard core off-road options and that's why the Bronco and the wrangler has the lower base models and the luxury type models for people that don't go hard off-road and the old blazers were big and bad ass and that's why I'm saying Chevy needs to redesign the blazers and build it off the Colorado platform and make a zr2 blazers just like they had in the past and it would have the front and rear lockers and lift and bigger tires like the Colorado zr2 and just like with the Colorado you can buy the base models all the way up to the zr2 and the blazer could do the same I'm not saying build every model hard core you have base all the way up to zr2 I'm sure Chevy is going to do it eventually their losing out on a lot of money and their quality has gone way down I mean even ram is passing them up on trucks because there quality is bad now I used to always be a Chevy guy until my 2018 Silverado had so many problems as well as my 2013 Silverado I finally switched and bought a 2020 f150 and no problem yet and at 50k

There isn’t any American cars anymore

What’s wrong with Korean built?

@@flight2k5 the old stereotype that Kia made cars were terrible... Conjures up negatively when it comes to talking about auto parts being made in Korea

@@TheBstakz it is more about 3 cylinder. There should be no 3 cylinder car unless it's Koenigsegg. Nothing wrong with Korean car but then i buy Hyundai or Kia and not overpriced version sold as USA made.

Korean built cars are as reliable as a Japanese car these days.

NEVER EVER

But it did do it! Once. 🤪

Not bad at all and for the price!

Tom Smith - And I’d like to see you try! LOL! Chevy’s do not have a viable 4x4 system intended for serious use, no locking differentials, no fancy faux simulated 4x4 drive, just a badge on the side that says 4x4. Subaru while not perfect, has a respectable system. The funny thing here is that you believe what you say and WANT to try! Hilarious! And before you go getting all defensive, why not realize that neither of these vehicles are intended to go off-road! They are just meant to be a little safer or better to drive on roads during messy situations. They are what they are! Like yours, great! But just know to take your HEAVIER, non locking-diff’s Chevy up this sandy hill is pure insanity. LOL!

@@Erin-Thor Wow someone has a stick up their ass. No he's right the 2004 blazer came out with a rear locker. Sorry guy

155hp weed eater lol

@@rubenbraekman4515 I'm not compensating, I swear 😂

Lol

They turned it into a go cart

So I own a 21 TB, and not going to lie. The 155hp engine is no slouch on the pavement. Never felt slow or sluggish.

Yeah, it's literally struggling up a gravel road.

Great worthless comments, guys. Keep em coming

Camera always makes it look flatter than it is

Camera doesn’t do it justice. I took a Jeep on the Rubicon road and when I go back and see the pictures and videos, it’s completely not the same.

@@rickybobby8224 its rocks like in my drive not borders I'm not talking about the steepness of the hill

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.

Fox With Shades Still, isn’t it nice that GM actually made 2 faces of the Trailblazer in two halves of the world? lol Makes complete sense now. Sad but complete.

You missed to mention it's body on frame

The Isuzu is based off of Chevy's South America market Trailblazer. This trailblazer featured in the video is the United States market version, which is built in Korea. Big difference.

Rob Carey Still, I’ve always loved those twins. Really sets up properly. Also I’d like to believe that their components are interchangeable.

and the SS had the LS2 which really made 400 hp

You're one of the minority that understands

yay someone gets it

Yeah but doesn't break down

@@jasonelliott5079 ahhh jeep Just Eats Every Penny

Sure does. JEEP Just empty every pocket

Yeah but it doesn't $100k+

The SS came with the ls2 6.0l. The trailblazers also came with the option for a 5.3l v8. I don't understand why they keep saying massive. It's either a 325 or 364, by no means massive. I guess next to all the 1.4l 4 cylinder options of today.

Glad someone else made this comment. V8 was an option but a very rare one.

Chill out dude, not a big deal

@@christopherking2012 only the long wheelbase version of the regular trailblazer could get a 5.3. All the regular trailblazers were 4.2 inline 6. And yes tbss was a 6.0 ls2.

@@thehumungus1985 it is when you actually know something about vehicles

The CH-R and HR-V would never make it!

@@normt430 yeah... here you can get those with AWD hybrid systems and with some all terrains they would do pretty good

@@rubenbraekman4515 the Japanese gas engines don't have enough power at altitude. See TFL Outback video being stopped on a climb with engine zinging!

This is the most off-roading 99% of CUV buyers will do, and most of them won't even do this much.

@Jonathan Losito they’ve tried it already and the Subaru barely made it and the seltos over heated haha

Mike DeMarco, yeah it never did stay the same. My favorite version of it is the classic Blazer built off the square body Chevy trucks. That was the true last competitor to the Bronco in my opinion.

The engine was made in Mexico.

Ised one still cost almost as the new.

I swear that’s a Nissan Kicks with Chevy stuff on it

No, that comes down to people buying crossovers and not vehicles like what the Blazer/Trailblazer use to be

Not like an actual trailblazer could make it up that hill

Chase Hickey eh, I think an 02-09 could make it up the hill

@@fargonianproductions2767 My stock 08 4wd would easily walk that course. This new “thing” is an overpriced joke.

Theres an optional 9 speed auto

Someone didn’t watch the video....

To save you the trouble, the version in the video is a nine-speed single clutch automatic that's manually switchable between FWD and AWD, and the stock tires are off-road oriented.

@@anthonywebber2211 It's not so much optional as bundled with AWD. Only the FWD version gets a CVT.

@@nlpnt thank you. Not sure why people don't look stuff up. Took me 2 minutes on the chevy website and I found that out lol

The Equinox is GMs best selling vehicle 😏

Not anymore. It doesn't even have rear locking sidf of any kind. Did you watch the tfl review on it. It was pathetic and they were testing the off road version.

A ti haven’t watched it yet. I’ll give it a peek

Anthony Webber crap. Good luck with resell and reliability

@@ati573 no Eaton G80 locker offered anymore?

Nope they didn't 😔😔😒😒

I am also curious to see how long the 3cyl will last

Between all seasons and that CVT, subaru's are as mall crawler as minivans now

Korean built 3 CYLINDER!? Iv never heard of 3 CYLINDER

@@alwaysarmed88 Never heard of a Geo Metro?

It should cost $25,500, not $30,000 for that motor or brand.

@@EM.1. Trailblazer has a starting price of 19,000, Its bigger than the Trax and has a cheaper starting price 🤦‍♂️

Press-fleet cars are usually top of the line with all the trimmings. And of course nobody ever pays MSRP on a Chevy.

They’re not really flashing, the camera just make them appear to.

Compass and Bronco are bigger, this Trailblazer competes with the Jeep Renegade

Anthony Webber they are all almost the exact same size dude, Trailblazer 104” wheel base 174”long bronco sport 105” wheel base 172” long Compass 104” wheelbase 172” long

@@devinbender8428 Trailblazer is a Sub Compact Compass is a compact And the Bronco Sport is based off the Escape which is a Compact

Anthony Webber compass and bronco sport are sub compact. They are virtually the same size. Th blazer is based off the traverse is it full sized? No! They are the same price and size and general same hp. (180) EPA classifications are out dated. There’s only 4 suv classes yet ford has 8 different sizes of suvs.

@@devinbender8428 Blazer is 191.4 in while Traverse is 204 in

@Jonathan Losito this comment didn’t age too well, lol

He just said that the trail gets harder but he ins´t mad at other people for using the trail. So what is your problem.

@@gamingbot4344 You're my problem. Try listening. Digging ruts in a trail by repeating stopping on it and complaining about is cognitive dissonance. Like Tommy, you seem to have an gap in your reasoning. Other people drive the trail. He keeps stopping to dig ruts in the trail.

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

Yup true

This is a Trailblazer 🤦‍♂️

saying it should be called something else, and you don't even know what it is

Anthony Webber blazer and trail blazer is the same exact thing. One is just smaller then the other but . I think you get my point in that both are doing a disservice to the name.

@@9663mu People don't give a shit about off road capabilities, Google image search Jeep mall crawler

@@anthonywebber2211 Oh look a buttsore GM fanboy who is probably upset because Jeep and Ford are still making off road capable vehicles while chevy ruins the nameplate of every vehicle they can. Also you don't speak for everybody.

Make a video about old trailblazer vs new trailblazer off road capabilities I just wanna see the old trailblazer defeat the new one

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.

I wish he'd come out...

I am pretty sure that if someone wanted an off road vehicle, they would choose something else. This is designed for inclement weather and minor dirt roads.

@Galaxial Pharmaceutical Whoever said that they were trying to live up to the previous Blazer's name/legacy??? As an example.....You remember the Mustang II? If wasn't trying to live up to the previous Mustang. It was trying to address the state of the times (Gas mileage was premium and EPA regulations)...much like this is. Good gas mileage, safe in all weather, affordable. You guys and this whole Blazer thing....jeez.

No

I bet

Not me the name!!!

Daewoo went bankrupt, its GM now

@@anthonywebber2211 Daewoo has been fully absorbed into GM's generally mediocre operations.

@@rightlanehog3151 you mean the Geo Tracker, right?

@@thenotsoguitarguy9429 That Suzuki was made by CAMI and old under multiple brand names.

@@rightlanehog3151 my bad... Forgot to add the😉

The dual clutch system on the Corvette is already ready for a recall.

@@timothywilson3785 that sucks I really can't wait to see what the (Corvette Z06 and ZR1 or zora) have to offer!

@@timothywilson3785 Chevrolet doesn't make the DCT

Sinister Scarface 392 most of GM vehicles are made in the US

@@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.

Yup a Bad car

🤣😂🤣😂💀💀💀💀

I hace my 04 with 159k miles and you're right, this thing could dominate that trail no problem.

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.

5.3 was optional

Yup true

Only for moms.

Ok Mr engineer

It should be called the Walmart Parking Lot Blazer.. Or Soccer Mom Blazer lol

it should be called a nice littler car and you should be called a complainer, shut up you werent gonna buy it anyway

@@lunamaria1048 Just like jeeps 😏

@@lunamaria1048 Zingggg. "Take that, Swanson".

Fail Blazer...just ruined the 02-09 Chevy mid-sized Trailblazer legend with a cheap 3 banger in a small soccer mom crossover.

I honestly think this is the max that the TB was designed for, and that's ok. Most of the off roady hippies would stop here.. just going camping in the mountains on a two track. The jeeps you mention have more off road hardware because they were meant for that 2% of the buying public that will go off roading for real.

It will lose 😂😂🤣🤣 look at the size and horsepower of that thing

People said the same thing when the ecoboost showed up in the f150

James Mastroianni I will buy an eco boost when there is literally no other choice in the new or used car market.

@@timothywilson3785 i mean its got a better reputation than the 5.0 so

James Mastroianni I would take a basic 5.0 (not necessarily the coyote 5.0 over any eco boosts.

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.
