- The ALL NEW 2019 Blazer is here, but has Chevrolet done it right? Under the hood you have an option of a naturally aspirated inline-4 or V6 both mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It's interior mimics the Camaro in many ways but has some unique components to it. Should you go out and get a 2019 Chevy Blazer or wait for the new Ford Bronco? Check out all of the details!

This thing is 10k overpriced across the board
I know, that's why I had just commented that I would have to wait a couple of yrs and buy used!
Negotiate! use your buying power or WALK on dealership just because they are overpriced doesn't mean you can't buy it for less. There are HUNDREDS of dealerships across the nation, and Thousands of these models to purchase 😉💪
"I'm Batman" cars still $10k over price, why negotiate this car when you can negotiate a car that’s $10k less
Very good point Rick!
Good plan!
Great job on the review Raiti's Rides.
I do like the interior.
Thanks Alec! That really means a lot!
Absolutely amazing watching this now that the new Bronco is out. It’s a mini van VS a Off road monster.
This one was disappointing. There's no point in bringing back legacy nameplates without bringing a product that shares the values of the original.
David exactly
I totally agree with you!
AGREED!
Looks like a Nissan rogue
The values of the original? Really what values? The old blazer was just a piece of shit utility vehicle..
My first used Chevy SUV!! Nice video Joe.
I'm intrigued by the route the air takes through the engine bay. Firstly, in the front grill, then up through another grill above the radiator, then exiting that 'ante chamber' through an opening on the left, through a pipe into the main airbox, then out into the intakes for the twin turbo !
Very good eye for detail. It is an interesting setup!
I think this Blazer is nice but too expensive. I would rather get the '19 Santa Fe for a lot less and with more features.
Very good point Rudy!
Wait and get the new Highlander in December, it's gorgeous!
@@nickloswhitmire8292 I'm not sticking up for the Blazer but the Highlander is ugly AF
Agreed. That is why I lease Rav4, it's so cheap, with more options than other other SUV in same range.
Where is the body on frame? To me its a bigger Equinox. Some people asking, SS model coming soon?
Going to Zonk you on the cam placement in the cab while driving. A pillar central over there. Lol Thanks for another great review keep it going bro.
I appreciate your feedback and thanks for the support!
I would love watching car review shows on tv. But now you got a fresh episode everyday. Your passion for cars shows. Great channel.
Excellent video Joe! I'm not a big fan of the new Chevy Blazer and would definitely wait until the Ford Bronco comes out and take a good look at that before buying a Blazer.
Thanks Mark for the compliment! I really appreciate you watching!
Even in AWD it's still FWD biased so a V8 SS would have a noticeable amount of torque steer. Just my opinion..
Good instinct.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
They could just put the 2wd option on it like my Denali has.
Not really a fan of this SUV , but great review either way. Thanks Joe !
Thanks for taking the time to watch and say that!
I drove the RS Blazer this week. Honestly, there was nothing great about it. It drove ok. Handling was ok, nothing special. It certainly wasn't fun to drive. It reminded me a lot of the GMC Acadia I used to drive a couple years ago. It's larger than I anticipated, which is great if you need more space. The interior looked sporty, but the quality of the materials were average at best. Also noticed some trim on the outside windows was loose. Honestly, if you're a true Blazer enthusiast from year's past, you will not like this. If you are looking for a SUV that's roomy and looks sporty, this might be for you. I have driven numerous SUV's that are way more fun to drive and have better quality handling and materials. It's a joke imho a loaded RS is $50,000 +. For that, I can get a Volvo XC40 or Alfa Romeo Stelvio which is way more fun to drive, better quality and more upscale materials.
Great points!
No thanks...
I'll wait for the Ford Bronco.
I agree.
AGREED!
Great minds think a like!
Which one takes regular/ unleaded? That's what I care about.⛽⛽⛽⛽⛽
The explorer is rear wheel drive now . The need is filled.
My zonk is because it won’t go off road like the old blazer ☹️.
2019 Chevy Blazer... official car that defines disappointment.
That’s why I rather have the Ford Bronco.
I totally agree with you Derek!
These suv are not going off road. Most blazers did not go off road. They could .
Honestly I am a fan of this design it looks modern and I love it.
But it seems best to wait for the Bronco.
Another great video.
I totally agree with you! Thaks for your kind words!
@Raiti's Rides i'd test drive both and then compare the two to see which one has better ride quality and gas mileage.
It would be awesome if they design it to where you have to remove the body from the frame to change the spark plugs :)
I haven't seen very many of these on the road maybe 3 or 4 of them. I don't think they are selling to well. I'm waiting for the bronco even though that will be expensive to.
It’s not bad looking but it just needs a V8, upgraded suspension + lift, bigger tires, a column shifter, and only 2 doors, then chevy can take my money
You said "turbocharged engine" but there is no turbocharged engine available in the Blazer. The one you tested here, a base engine, is the 2.5 liter 4 cylinder n/a. The available 3.6 liter v6 is also n/a. Odd that you were looking right at the engine and didn't know it wasn't turbocharged.
Is That Right? I just commented that the Mazda CX5's 2.5 turbo engine puts put a lot more power! Thank you & we'll have to "ZONK" Joe on this blunder for sure!!
@@gregholman2930 Yep, no 2.5 turbo in GM's line up. They only have a 1.4t, 1.8t, 2.0t, 3.0tt, 3.6tt, and 4.2tt. The 2.5n/a is used in a bunch of models as a base entry engine. Great on gas, terrible on power.
Yeah no way a turbo charged engine would have such low horse power.
@@shawnmiller2786 Why in the world would GM even bother to put a regular 2.5 in a mid-size SUV anyway?without it being accompanied with a turbo? I mean if your going to ask $38K at least offer over 200 HP. Those non-turbo engines ought to be reserved for the Equinox & smaller.
@@gregholman2930 no idea, I totally agree. Even worse is that you can get this same 2.5 in a Truck! A truck for God's sake lol. 170 feisty horsepower
Great review as always, Joe. This is another Equinox or Traverse in the end. Definitely not the Blazer I remember.
Have you had a chance to take a look at the Blazer Premier yet? It's a head turner for sure!
Thanks Todd! That is a very good point!
Do you like it better tan the RS trim?
Anyone know if manual shifting with the buttons (on the shifter) is possible without having to move the shifter over into the sport slot first?
That is a great question.
I do like that body style...it's way better then the 96 and up...this has more style to it...not to boxy.....very nice inside to....am definitely going to buy one!!!!
they shoudl do Blazer logo on the back tail gate right in the middle much cooler looking then standard on the side
Now that is a beautiful SUV! I can really dig the styling of this vehicle. In the rear, it looks like it has plenty of room for third row seats. Chevy has hit a winner with this Blazer. Personally, I would prefer the 6 cylinder motor, or a v-8, simply because turbos tend to wear out after say 100k miles. At least they used to, but maybe they've improved on the fan blade in them. Great job, as usual, Joe and Lori, keep em' comin', thanks.
I am so glad that you liked this one Paul!
the 2.5l 4 cylinder is not turbo charged .
Good point on The head light. Chevy is doing a much better job.
Thanks for letting me share this one with you!
This shouldve been the new Equinox and the Blazer shouldve been an offroader or track focused 400 hp all wheel drive.
Chevy disappoint me. Where is the lt1 v8 ss model. Blown opportunity. Only Chrysler with the hellcats shows up for Detroit with there offering
It may be coming for 2020! Fingers crossed!
I work at chevy and I must say I only like the blazer in RS trim, but an SS would be interesting and probably +15k-20k to the price of RS
I only like the Premier!
AGREED!
Thanks Greg for sharing your thoughts!
Hey great video love when you take it for a test drive enjoyed the visual trip.ps It got 1 zonk . Ps bronx loves your videos.
Thanks for your awesome support! I can't do it without you!
That frickin ridiculous slanted beltline bs hit this too. Why does the back window have to be cut off in some upward swoop? That swoop shouldnt be there and the window should go down to the original beltline and be bigger. And the beltline doesnt need ANY slant at all for that matter, make it straight like cars used to be and increase the windows.
Or just import this. www.topgear.com.ph/drives/review-chevrolet-trailblazer-2-8-4x4-z71-a114-20170227
I totally agree with you!
Very nice!
Is it more of a competitor for the Edge/Edge St?
At 191.4" you're correct. It's at the upper end of the "tweener" category that includes the Edge, the Passport, the Outback, and the Kia Sorento, among others.
Yes but there will be two separate versions of the Bronco!
I’m up to 2:34 in the video, you haven’t used the word ‘POP’ yet, phew, so far so good 🤫
Thanks for watching....I think
I shall watch the whole video, no worries 😉
We are looking at the same vehicle Joe how fluwlesl you talked 18 mins, I don't think I can go over 2mins lol
Thanks for letting me share it with you! ;-)
Great styling and attitude in the front. They did a great job with this update. Figure out how honda and acura make thin head lights compared of the acztec look
I appreciate you sharing your thoughts on this Blazer Korey!
Excellent review Joe. There is the saying that "it pays to advertise," but I would remove the BLAZER letters entirely from the doors. Is the Blazer larger or smaller than the Traverse? Save the Wave. Oh yeah, congrats on the 65k. I have a story on the number 65 as well. lol As in mid-year coupe. :-)
I believe it is the same width as the Traverse but quite a bit shorter. Overall a two row CUV while the Traverse is a 3 row.
GM has positioned it to be between the equinox and the Traverse.
Overall the MRSP is to high at the high trim levels
@@temur72 Thank you.
Wow Peter! I actually was going to send you an email to hope you were doing okay! I love hearing your stories and seeing your kind words!
hi what trim level is this? and very good car
This is a LT.
@@RaitisRides Thanks
Hold on a minute, the Tahoe replace the K5 Blazer not the s10. The s10 and K5 Blazers were being made up to the mid 90's. Hate when people talk what they don't know and even worse are selling you B.S.
Looked at one the other day, but did not drive it. It's just another ho hum suv. GM had a chance to make the Blazer something special and they failed. I hope the Bronco isn't as disappointing.
Fingers crossed!
Where's the turbo? I didn't see any turbo under the hood...
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
"...The Blazer is the family vehicle that actually appeals to the whole family, and for that reason it upsets the Honda(Passport)on its home court."
I think the Motor Trend staff was weeping when they wrote that!
NO! Wait for the Jimmy! Check it out in 25 Vehicles to wait for in C&D Magazine!
The Jimmy? Sounds familiar.
I totally saw that! It looks amazing but we will see if it changes by the time it hits market!
GMC
@@gregholman2930 YUP! GMC is bringing it back! It's based on the Canyon!
Not true , the blazer stayed full size until 1991 I believe ,then the body changed until 97 when the 2 doors were done away with . he said 83 ,but I have an 86 blazer that’s full size
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
nice vid i think they just made it a normal suv when the bronco is a truck
Actually the Ford Bronco will have two separate versions.
I’ll say no on this one, wait for the Bronco. It will blast this one for sure. Great video Joe 👍
I bought one and it sucks
Jeep tried that headlight layout but went back to the traditional layout. Overall, I’m just not digging this Blazer. Nice job again Joe! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
I totally agree with you Larry! Thanks for the support!
Bronco will be a completely different animal. If you are looking for a sportier ride and don't care about Chevy stepping on the Blazer name, buy this in the RS version. If you're looking for the truck-like experience, wait for the Bronco, even though I've heard that it'll be four doors, not the two door design that the K-5 and original Bronco shared.
They are actually making two versions of the bronco.
I had to check the scuttlebutt - hadn't for a while. Having driven K-5 Blazers for 20 years from 1981 to 2001, I may just look at a two-door. But if I could get a 1989 K-5 with modern guts, I buy it. I loved that truck.
I love your videos when the Ford when the other vehicles like General Motors I don't really like your videos that much but you're still good person and I like how you show what's really important in your videos keep up the good work
38k wow
Tell me about it!
I like it, although i wish you would have reviewed the "Premier" with the chrome grill & 20" or 21'' wheels instead. The 2.5 engine is a dog, let's be honest, right? The Mazda's 2.5 turbo engines put out well over 200 HP, go figure. But unfortunately @ $38K that's the model that will be in my price range when it depreciates $10K in 2 or 3 yrs!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I have don a fully loaded RS.
Here you go:
ua-cam.com/video/wDx_s2MgcDM/v-deo.html
@@RaitisRides I have seen that one & was sold on the RS, that is until I watched a Premier review, and that's the one to own in my opinion!!
rip what the blazer use to be. offroading will never be the same. Ford please dont disappoint us
I totally feel your pain Alex!
The explorer is now rear wheel drive based. People ask for this but don’t buy it.
Because of all the information we've received so far, we think the Bronco is going to be an absolute hit! We are definitely hoping so. We've had several insiders say that the style of the new Bronco is going to be a call back to the early Broncos of the 70s. Although the Blazer missed that mark, hopefully Ford can pull this off in a way that makes everyone happy, ...but when does that ever happen haha
I bought one it sucks I returned it
No I'm a country boy and I drive Fords I tried a Chevy years ago didn't like it at all never try it again. I'll stick to the best. And yeah I think that for Broncos gonna be bomb The Old Broncos were awsome. So you know they're gonna make this man just as good it's a ford.
Why do they make a leather door panel but cloth seats
It is not real leather.
Oh okay
Nice looking vehicle but overpriced.
I doubt many people are seriously going to be cross shopping this with the Bronco.
Nice nissan/Hyundai thing
I see what you did there!
front reminds me of my camaro.
My only hope is that they don’t make the bronco a awd sissy wagon. Keep the 4x4 experience and built Ford tough!
There will be two different versions!
Ford Bronco look so much better the drive train so much better the engine so much better don't sound like a Sissy foreign car And it don't look like a Sissy foreign car. And sounds like a wimpy Chevy as usual. They need to go back to the drawing board on almost all of their vehicles. They all have the same front ends and they looked like SHIT. Ford motor company rules.
Mark Shock not everyone lives in cobblestone gated communities with a Starbucks in every street corner. We mountain men embrace the wildlife and taking the most serious terrains that nature throws at us even if it means getting our feet dirty. How dare they take a work of off road art and pervert it into a wagon that’s less adventurous and more plushy for in labor women who like to fill their cars with pamper diapers. Screw that! Get the pregnant women to drive the real bronco and go 4x4 all through the rough terrains so hard she’ll give birth to her child inside the car.
Well I've got some good news.
I drive a 2001 cherokee 2 door.I work on it myself,no thanks.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Are we suppose to care?
great job n video Joe n does Tom want to cuddle haha just kidding, it was funny or do they come 4wheel drive but great job can't wait to see more content god bless
I know Joe didn't mean it to come out the way it did, (RE: Tom Likes To Cuddle) ha ha is right!
Thanks Christopher for letting me share the fun with you!
Just having a bit of fun with the reviews.
Good grief did GM forget about affordability??? I can’t believe the prices of there Aoutomobbls thees days.
4:02 I see some alignment issue with that front door..
Very good eyes!
You do realize that this is basically a transverse? You people would not even consider buying a transverse. The explorer is now rear wheel drive based.no brainer. I drove the blazer and cx9 on the same day and blazer is not even close. Yes cx9 is 4 cly but has about 40 more ft. pounds.
The wheels need an upgrade. The Chevy bow needs to be black. I like the location of the push button start and fuel and coolant gauges! Are you snuggling in the back seat with Tom?? Only kidding 😂. I can’t wait to see the Bronco! Great job Tom and Joe!
LMAO! You are too much! I can't wait for the Bronco either!
I thought this is 7 seater mid-sized SUV just like the trailblazer in asian market.
They are actually coming out with a new Trail Blazer.
@@RaitisRides In the United States?
Freakin Nice
I am so glad that you liked this one!
It's priced like a V-8.
Just another SUV by general motors. Recycling the old name of a body-on-frame truck.
You have a very good point!
Reviewing the cheap model does this vehicle NO justice, did they not have the Premier model which is the top spec🤔
You are so right but I have done the RS trim on the channel.
Here it is if you have not seen it yet!
Because not everyone is buying a Premier.
The new Bronco knocked this out of the park, not even a comparison at this point. Sad to see Chevy take what was once great and make it the generic overpriced suv.
I don't know what Chevy is smoking on the pricing of this.
AGREED!
People will buy it cause it says blazer. It’s a transverse which ‘Yuch
Turbo 4 cylinders suck. The fact I can get this in a straight V6 is what makes it better than the new Bronco.
One of the many reasons for sure.
They dont even compete. If u want the Chevy Blazer get it, dont have to wait for the Bronco. If u wanna consider a Ford competitor, Edge and somewhat the Explorer can be considered.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts and input! I really appreciate you watching!
Looks like a new redesign of my recent garbage 2010 captiva
This is true!
Thumbs up Raiti..sharp car but it's a GM..lol..
You are awesome!
I thought this looked like a Lamborghini Urus
8K too much, No thanks on a Camaro 4 door, front, mirrors, dash & tail light inspiration.
AGREED!
Hocus Pocus FIND the focus...
Good eye!
Raiti's Rides Just teasing. Enjoy your videos!
Oldsmo-buick
Not worth the price
That's not a Blazer... GM has lost its way but yes, we shall wait for the Bronco to arrive.
Come on guys your chevy dealer will make it right.
Maybe!
wake me up when you can sell a zr2 real two door blazer something for out doors men......
I don’t understand, he keeps saying blazer and it says blazer but all I can see is a stumpy minivan with a long hood.
I’ll wait for the Bronco. The bronco is designed and built to compete with the Jeep Wrangler....this looks like it was built to compete against a dodge caravan
Good call Adam!
Yes your correct cause it’s a crappy transverse with changes! A freakin transverse and call it a blazer. Dud for sure.
Looks like a CAMARO SUV🙄🤔
$38 grand? Seriously?! Nope.
Quality isn't there for that price
Harrison Jensen Buy a 2017 base Porsche Macon for the same price. Just a crazy world.
AGREED!
Exactly!
Ok, first off the engine is naturally aspirated, not turbo charged. And two the v8 would be next to impossible. This is a transverse mounted engine platform. Most v8 engines are mounted longitudinal. With it being front wheel drive biased, it wouldn't handle the power from a v8 as well as being rear wheel drive biased. I would subscribe to your channel if you would get the facts right. I have watched serval of your videos, quite a few contain false information. People that watch videos like this come seeking correct information. No hard feelings. I just wish you would study your product before you talk about it.
I appreciate the info! I just tripped over my thoughts. Thanks for your input and understanding.
Thanks for policing the facts. Please be sure the spelling is correct also. Does this make you feel better or worse when you correct people? Keep it up if it keeps you from doing crazy things.
Not crazy about it
Agreed!
I'm relatively early!
I appreciate your dedication! Thanks for watching!
@@RaitisRides you are very welcome!
50k worth of rattling plastic.

🙏🙏
Terrible. Would not take this off road. Gm can’t get it together. Looks like parts off the bin
The bronco destroys this
Totally copied the 2019 Santa fe wich I bought and came out first.
Very good point!
I’m trying to decide between the Santa Fe and Blazer. Very close to purchasing by July 1 2019
Actually, the Jeep Cherokee came out with that look first.
Este es el Chevrolet Santa Fe
Definitely wait! The Ford Bronco is too iconic to be replaced by some dinky chevy😂
I would agree with you!
Its perfectly fine for you to test drive the vehicle, but please just don't do it where there is a school, and school crossing. No matter what time of year/day.
another swing and a miss from Chevy , I was disappointed by this one .
I feel your pain!
Nope.
