His truck has an N-95 on the front and back. Double safety.

The idea of paying $95k for anything Chevy is insanity. And I say that as a Tahoe owner. If I’m dropping that much, I’m getting a slightly used G Wagon

Their full sized SUVS, pickups, and the iconic Corvette frequently fetch over $70K.

But I'm not putting 95 bones into any vehicle.

I love how they say shite like “all our vehicles will be electric by 2030 which is basically the next generation or two of vehicles but then they release something that has

option of 2 V8s - a 6.2L 420 horsepower variant as standard, with an optional supercharged 700+ horsepower monster


Kinda contradictory

Me thinks the electric thing is mostly virtue signaling while they’ll keep producing their big gas and diesel trucks/SUVs as long as demand is there because that’s their money maker

Look closely. There's an asterisk in their public statement around larger trucks.

Absolutely...although they are releasing the first electric pickup truck on the market this year.

Oh, I know. It’s comical. The new LTZ “High Country” is a rip off imo.

So General Motors IS capable of copy catting on successful competitor concepts? Great, gimme a real Blazer instead of this fricking thing.

To their credit, they build an excellent crossover for those that want that kind of thing.

It just infuriates me that they wasted the Blazer name on that.

They could have even acknowledged their mistake with the blazer and used their Trailblazer moniker for an off road geared revamp. What did they do instead?

I used to drive a Trailblazer (2002 model). It wasn't a fancy truck and not as cool as the old K5 Blazers, but it was a very reliable truck-based SUV with a powerful engine. I put a lot of miles on that thing, and it handled everything I could throw at it with ease - and never had a problem towing anything.

I bought a 2021 4Runner TRD last week because Chevrolet offers nothing for me but pickup trucks and full sized SUVs. What's most infuriating is that there's a truck based mid sized Chevrolet offered in all of their Asian, African, and South American markets. They just won't bring it to the US because it might cannibalize some sales from a Colorado, Silverado or Tahoe.







They can easily restyle the above truck slightly and sell it in the US. It would be pretty close to what I'm looking for.

Honestly the z71 Tahoe is just a full size Blazer.

Though they should bring back the 2 door Tahoe/Blazer and give it an off road package

I know that their new Trailblazer and Blazer crossovers are selling like crazy. But using the names of appealing truck based SUVs for them was very disappointing.

They clearly have no plans for another real SUV beyond the massive Tahoe or Suburban - both of which are in high demand and have have had supply constraints for a while now.
