I purchased the 2024 Chevy Trailblazer RS (Cacti color) with panoramic roof just about 3 weeks ago and STILL learning things about it; this video answered so many questions and told me things I didn't know about the vehicle so I really appreciated it and your total bumper to bumper review was AWESOME, thank you!!!
Came across you videos a short time ago. The thing I really like is that you actually go over, in detail, each segment of the vehicle; things that many other reviewers will just gloss over. For example, you took the time to talk about things like the paneling on the rear of the Trailblazer. You did the same with the Buick Envista both inside and out. I saw more than a half dozen videos on that vehicle and yours was the first time I was able to say, "wow, I didn't know that." because no one else took the time to talk about it. I really appreciate the thoroughness. You've earned a fan here, sir.
Just bought one with a few more bells and whistles. We just like it so much. Enjoy watching you because it takes a while to discover all it offers. Thanks, you did a good job!
The best video we have seen so far on the trail blazer have subscribed because he is so thorough and one is able to understand every detail. we will be watching all of the videos for our vehicles. Thank you.
I have a 2023 LT AWD with the 1.3 and 9 speed auto. Only had it a few months, but it’s been pretty good so far. Biggest complaints would be the visibility by the c-pillar (I don’t have blind spot monitoring), and the radio can be a little fussy sometimes. Biggest likes- like you mention: surprisingly peppy. Went from an older V8 truck and this feels so much peppier. Also love that it has a spare- most cars are eliminating these for weight restrictions to stay in a class; they’ll include a flat repair kit instead. Also MPG on hwy has been crazy good. Have seen 32-38 on the hwy over 50 mile trips. Lastly, the space is great. Back seat can comfortably fit an average sized adult for a longer trip. Great video! Keep up the great work!
C-pillar blind spot is pretty killer on this lol.. I meant to mention that - but didn't. Shoot, you must be loving the MPG on this as compared to your last truck haha.. Thank you man..
I just ordered the 2024 Trailblazer RS with all the options in the Crimson Metallic. It will take quite a few months to come from the factory. Test drove one and loved how it drove. Also love the sporty styling. Thank you for the very informative video.
Nice job with this video. Other reviewers compare the Trailblazer to a Lamborghini......you appreciate the more subtle virtues of it! Love that it handles so well, I might consider one. Thanks!
I bought the 2023 Chevy trailblazer RS fully loaded and it’s freaking awesome… it handles great on freeway I’m the one passing cars most of the time lol… great car I really recommend it 👍
@@badele80Every vehicle in this class is gonna feel a little "weak" when accelerating at already-high speeds. That said, it's more than sufficient for 90% of people
@@erikhendrickson59 not true technology today is advanced, I bought the car and also a heavy foot. This car goes at all speeds I have no issues at all on the highway. It's absolutely a beautiful car has plenty of power
Like the two-tone paint scheme. Thanks, Chevy for the spare tire. I like the refresh of the Blazer RS inside and out. I would like carbon fiber material on the bottom of the steering wheel. A nice vehicle for less than $30,000 dollars. Thanks for another review.
The 2024 trailblazer looks pretty cool but I think I will keep my 2008 Chevy trailblazer LT it doesn't have the Fancy new features like the newer one and it's not good on gas but it's rugged and I'm able to tow 6,500 lbs I can take it off road and it's a beast in the snow and mud. Great video by the way and thanks for making it showing the newer Chevy trailblazer.
People are spoiled these day's. One of my first cars was a 1978 Honda Civic with a 1300cc motor. No turbos back then. Was strong enough to burn the rubber off large knobby winter tires.
Solid car.and I feel like for a family of four this could work. Well I hope as me and my wife will be trying to get this rs trailblazer. My wife for some reason feels my jeep wrangler is too unsafe lol to me it isn't but. How do I say this whatever she wants she gets 😢
I actually just purchased this last week in the very same color. I came across your video and I'm glad to see mine came with most of the upgrades in it already! One question I do have is, does this come with a HUD? I can't seem to find any info on it. Thank you in advance!
I have a 24 RS with the extra packages...sucks that there aren't the front park distance sensors! Chevy should've given the RS larger front/rear disc rotors...the 19" wheels make the standard rotors look ridiculous! Why not borrow from the GM parts bin and swap in the Equinox rotors??!!
My sentiments exactly! The rotors look ridiculous compared to the 19s! Take the rotors off of an Equinox! Same with the lack of front parking sensors…what cost increase would it be? Do it!!
Pretty nice vehicle for the price, hate the blind areas in the rear quarter panels tho (for backing out of parking spaces)...$395 for RCTA (and blind spot) is very well worth it. I want Adaptive Cruise but I really don't want to pay $1K for it (along with better sound, which I don't need). I'll give it a look when they hit the lots.
My 2023 has rear camera which I'm pretty sure is required on all models. It has the gridlines available and makes backing easy. My wife now even parks rearward in our parking space at home. If she can back without issue anyone can.
@@Tld6061 If all cars had the little cameras installed at the very rear corners of the vehicle, you could actually see what is coming down the aisles as you creep out of a parking space, sure would cut down on little accidents and a lot of horn honking 🙄
I really wish they went back with the old style trailblazers…I still have my 2002 LS and I am appalled how they literally cut it in half. I would give it a shot if I didn’t have bias towards the old body
Just upgraded from an 03 trailblazer to the 24 active trim and I love it! Still very spacious you lose a little space in the cargo area but still was able to fit a lot of different furniture while doing a move! Absolutely love all the changes to it and better on gas!
What kind of RS is this? All the RS I tested driven had AWD, power lift gate, Panasonic sunroof, wireless charger and heated leather seats and heated steering wheel
👍🏻👍🏻 Really like this one. Who doesn't like a black bowtie event? What do you think of the new law that mandates what is tantamount to government spyware installed in every new car beginning in 2 years. It's my understanding the government will be able to activate a cabin camera that can watch the occupants. A microphone that can be activated to listen to conversations. A kill switch to shut off the car and a computer to monitor driving.
Please link the article.. Just another government overreach.. But, they're already listening to us through our phones.. I wouldn't be surprised if they're also looking through our phone cameras as well
The Corolla Cross Hybrid SE costs $1000 less and you will get over 40mpg and much more power provided by a 2 liter aspirated engine. As a free gift, you get Toyota's reliability.
Bright sunny days are not good for taking videos, too much glare and reflections. An overcast day is better, your camera will compensate for the lower light.
Why is they slapping this face design on every suv. It look like the bigger blazer. And the chevy transverse gonna have the same exact close look. Why have all this black screen for a smal 8 inch. The screen details look like a cheap tablet resolution.
@Carfan678 nobody expected a high luxury interior, but at least an upscale touch screen. He'll even hyundai doing good with their interior better than Chevy . And I own a cadillac xt6 platinum. so you are not telling me anything I don't already know!!
@@TaySo_Real bro everything in this segment cuts corners if one has a better interior or more features than theirs a good chance their cheaping out on the power train and materials
They added an rs badge for a pos 3 cylinder engine. Rotflmao... I cant count how many youtubers who sadly bought one of these and are trying to get rid of it.xd
For anyone wondering about these 3-cylinder engines, they have a rubber timing belt that believe it or not, runs in the oil. This will need replacing in time. That alone is the reason I would not buy one of these vehicles with a 3-cylinder engine. Should have used a chain instead of a rubber belt. The new design is a big improvement, but why or why did Chevrolet use a rubber timing belt that runs in the motor oil. To replace the belt, is a major engine teardown and won't be cheap to have done. Ford used this same design in their 3 cylinder and have had lots of problems with the rubber timing belt braking down and causing problems. It makes one wonder what these engineers have been smoking when designing these little engines. Rubber belts in motor oil??? Come on GM, learn from Ford's terrible design flaw and use a chain to drive the camshaft.

Nice!
How is it
Tell about the LN. We just bought one. It doesnt hv a button to raise trunk.😢
They should make a hybrid blazer
Id buy the trailblazer over the new trax i like AWD
I read reviews of this vehicle bcz i am intrtested in one. Basically i read quite a few bad reviews about the engine being problematic
I could see it
Hopefully they fixed software issues with the inside screens, my 2023 is all electrical issues. It’s a lemon.
The seats don't look very supportive, not much side bolstering. Yeah, I would buy the Toyota RAV4 Hybrid XSE or Limited with AWD for less money!
It’s too bad about the very small engine. Chevy blew it with these very small engines. On the Buicks too.
Everything has a small engine nowadays

For the comparable price, you can get a Subaru Crosstrek which is a much better value.
CVT, though.
But you get 2.5 turbo engine (182 hp) with better acceleration and towing capacity. Subaru reliability is an added plus.
True.. I wish Subaru would put an auto in the Crosstrek. Or at least bring back the manual
