- The Chevrolet Blazer is back but is it what fans really want? Under the hood of this 2020 Blazer RS is a 3.6L V6 producing 308HP & mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission. It's exterior styling has a lot borrowed from the Camaro. The Blazer's interior follows the same design philosophy borrowing from the Camaro. Is the 2020 Chevrolet Blazer RS a compact SUV worth the money?

I recently bought an AWD 2021 Blazer RS (fully loaded) and am extremely happy. Having come from a 2010 Camaro SS I was concerned about power and handling. I can say I'm not disappointed at all. The Blazer is very capable. I knew it wouldn't be like the power and torque of my Camaro, but it has plenty of both. It gets nothing but compliments on how it looks and it rides well. Great vehicle that is selling extremely well since its reintroduction despite naysayers.
Congratulations Joe, on reaching 200k. Been riding on this journey with you since the beginning! Your originality and humor is what makes this channel special.
That is so very awesome for you to say! I appreciate your support and being on this journey with me!
Now, how about that Twinky?
I got a 2019 blazer RS.. silver with 21 inch wheels with moon roof.. it's a mean looking SUV. Gets tons of looks daily.. really wish it had a monster V8 tbh. But I love it
I heard it's enough space under the hood to replace the v6 with a v8.... What say ye?
The best part of the videos is how you talk about all the places to bid snacks lol
Thanks for letting me share all the snack fun!
Fr 😂
He does that to all the cars he review 🤣🤣 " here you can put your sneakers, m&m's, Gummies"
Raul Alvarado lol 😂
My 2006 chevy trailblazer just rolled over 202k miles. Orginal engine and transmission
Now that is what I am talking about.
Awesome! Who says Chevys aren’t reliable? 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@LS1007 thank you!
Keep the oil changed and rust away from the door lower area and the 4.2l is good for 300,000!
@@normt5463 i live in flordia so i don't have to worry about rust, but i use full synthetic high mileage and change the fluid about every 3-5k miles 😁
Love how you’re completely unfazed by PA announcement while talking about Blazer styling! No do overs on this channel! Joe, how about a bloopers video, funny stuff we don’t typically get to see.
Thanks Pete for saying that! I really need to get something like that together!
I bet he gets interrupted by people and such. Would be fun to see some of those interactions.
cavaliers60 actually 18 years of teaching high school has made me immune!
Raiti's Rides oh god that’s worse! Lol
@@RaitisRides Crazy man.... I know this is 8 months old, but I just left teaching math after 14+ years and am in the auto industry. Got hired through a friend of an owner, now I am a Director of a BDC, trying to get up to speed fast. Loving it so far, been at it about a month and a half. Love your videos!
I bought the wife a 2020 RS Blazer in December . We love it!! It’s very fun to drive and is very stylish!! The only thing we are unhappy about ls the seats. We drove a Redline Traverse and those seats had more cushion. Other then that, it’s an awesome SUV!!
I have a Chevy Malibu 2008 four-cylinder 2.4 engine and it has 262,000 miles with original engine and transmission. Chevys are very damn reliable if you take care of them.
I just took care of your mom
I love you Joe thanks for the laughs and making our car shopping experience fun and educational
great review Joe, i loved it!
Huge upgrade with the RS. Great video. Nicely done!
Always a great in depth review 👍 car shopping just got a lot easier! Thanks 🙏
Memory Settings for the Power Driver Seat, Outside Mirrors, and Power Tilt/Telescoping Wheel, Heated Rear Outboard Seats & Ventilated seats are a part of the Enhanced Convenience and Driver Confidence II Package. Body Color Fender Areas, are in the Premier Trim. Zonking things reminds me of a 1980's Game Show.
Thorough, informational and super entertaining. Thank you!! 👌
You don't need anything more than this, it's perfect.
Love it!! Thanks for the review!!
Great, detailed review. An SUV that I will really consider.
loved how you you explained every detail very informative. The rubber ducky was a good laugh lol...
Great review, I think the issue besides the design is the price. Fully optioned out near 50 grand, just isn't worth it considering all the other good options out there.
Wow! 200k subscribers already? Congrats- you definitely deserve will the content you give us.
Blazer, love the size of glove box and the center armrest height. Going to zonk the low center vents, more like crotch coolers.
I get what you say about the rear wiper for exterior aesthetics, however moving the wiper up high would hamper the view out of the back. The 3rd brake light plus the repositioning of the wiper motor would cause a drop in the upper rear window line. May not seem like a huge deal, but any speeder scanning for distant cops coming up from the rear (or motorcycles doing 135 mph) will tell you how important that part of the sightline is.
Congratulations on 200k 👊✌
We took this thing offroad (well the premiere trim which has the same dual clutch rear end) and found that the traction system was very capable! Great review!
Thanks for that awesome input from your ownership expereince!
Been wanting to see an in-depth of this one for a while, thanks Raitis awesome video, also I think it would’ve been amazing if Chevy instead of making this one more like the S10 did it more like the K5 so we would be looking at a two door Tahoe, which with the 2020 facelift would look so good.
I had a 1997 Blazer and loved it my parents have a trail Blazer I like em man
Love all the snack references! Lol! I really like the Blazer.
Raiti, sir you are the man. You're reviews are that of the common man. You don't get too fancy, you speak in a manner in which everybody can understand. You don't stumble or search for words or phrases which many reviewers do (especially the car sales consultants in their videos, which are much shorter) . You flow throughout your review and know your terminology. You cover every important aspect and detail that a vehicle review should cover. I love your occasional drops of snack placement. VERY important in today's hustle & bustle world on the run. You have a new subscriber in me. My only beef...........you mention what should be in the glovebox after one runs out of Twinkies from the door pockets. I would submit you have the coup de grace of Hostess snacks in the glove box, the white fudge Ding Dongs. Very important when you have the wife complaining about the radio station and the volume. As well as the kids asking if we're there yet. Excellent job my man!
Hi John! Thanks for taking the time to say that! I really appreciate your support! I am so grateful that you are part of the Raiti's Rides family!
Raiti's Rides I just noticed something. I was watching your review of the 2019 Blazer RS and I noticed that the seats in the model year had heated AND ventilated seats. Whereas the 2020 did not have the ventilated seats. Did your guys at Chevy ever give you an explanation as to why?
I love this Blazer! It checks off what I'm looking for. Definitely a contender!!!
Thanks for letting me share it with you Pierre!
No problem! I need one in the Red Hot color. Lol!
That blue looks very good!
Congrats on 200k subs!
I appreciate you saying that Pete!
Great review Joe. I am disappointed that it isn't a full frame 4x4 truck. I gotta go for a test drive though.
Very thorough review! I always enjoy them. Did I hear no memory settings for the front seats? Yikes!
200K 👍 Congratulations. 🎊🎉

manojkholiausa thank you!! 👍🏽😊🙏
absolutely love this color for the Blazer
I agree with you!
Very good review. keep up the good job.
Thank you so much for saying that! I really appreciate your support!
The blue with black trim looks good on this vehicle. I’ve seen a few on the road. They look really nice. I think Chevy will do well with this model. People will resist the price though. The rear of the vehicle looks sharp. The v6 is attractive . So many new cars are 4 cylinders. Finally Chevy coming out with nice looking vehicles.
Thx Joe and big guns
Dude must have been starving for some snacks 😂
I really like this blue SUV! Nice video Joe.
My cons:
Panoramic Moonroof
Memory Seat Settings
Ventilating Seats
Heads Up Display
Besides that, I absolutely love the redesign and is in my eye for purchase.
Just out of curiosity, how are those cons to you? You can spec it out without those.
This is awesome joe
I have an 03 blazer still riding strong
How's your day Joe? Also congrats on 200K subscribers!!🎉🎉🎉🥳🥳🥳
It's going FANTASTIC! You are the man!
@@RaitisRides Ty. It means a lot.
I love this car SO MUCH. I'd seen this in the 2019 LA Auto Show, but I really wanted to get it as my first car. Also, congrats that you've reached 200K subs!
Thanks Kobe for letting me share this one with you and I really appreciate you being on this journey with me!
wow first car! i remember my first car it was a $500 dollar malibu !
Congratulation on 200k subscribers.
silisur thank you!
This thing will go down in value faster than the Titanic
But not when there is $12,000 cash on the hood as this one is under $22K!

What do u mean?
Great review and great car. I got the redline with the V6 for 33,500. Has everything I wanted in a midsize SUV. I do agree the RS models are pricey but you should get 5,000 off msrp at minimum. I also agree they should have a SS V8 version and maybe a K5 to appease the old timers so everyone will be happy. We'll see. It feels like if they did that now it would hurt Camaro & Z71 sales so maybe they're waiting a bit. I don't know I'm no expert. For being such a stylish and sporty car those rims are frickin' terrible. Congrats on 200k!
Definitely a sexy looking vehicle😍. Not as awkward looking as the Rav4 or any Nissan. Loving that v6 and higher horsepower also!!
Not too familiar with Chevy myself. Would you say they're as reliable as Toyota and Honda?
This thing is underrated!!!
For the POV driving camera, I think it should be farther back or on your head to have a better feel for what it's like
Joe great video but you should mention where they are assembled.
I always have been a Toyota owner but I definitely want this Blazer!
I’m so glad you did another blazer video. My Trax recently got totaled and I’ve been doing research again on which car I should get. Could you possibly do a blazer vs traverse?
Lol neither
Dylan R absolutely
Blazer
The Blazer is blazing hot and I love it and I wish Chevy stays a bit longer in SE Asia!! I hope Chevy didn't forget to add an off-road oriented trim to recall it's off-road ogre predecessors.
I am so glad that you like this one!
Nice car .. great review mate I wish it had shifting pedals ..
I am so glad that you like this one and I totally agree with you!
Congrats on reaching 200k subs. Definitely worthy of a couple million more!!!
Not a fan, at all! But great review!
I’m currently driving a loaner Blazer with the Redline trim while my Hummer is getting warranty work done at my Chevy dealer. It’s not as comfy as my Hummer, but it is a nice ride.
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective!
Raiti's Rides I forgot to mention that it has the V6 and it gets up and goes really well!.
I love the looks of the Blazer RS !! 🇺🇸👍🏻
Looks like Lambo Urus, amazing design with this Blazer RS 😍
I am so glad that you like this one.
Compact? What’s the Equinox? Too many other SUV’s that offer more features at a cheaper price. Very nice looking though and the V6 is a plus in this segment.
I love the snack size comparison.
Really reminds me of the 2019 gmc acadia slt. On the inside at least.
I'm on the fence between keeping my 2020 Subaru ascent touring or getting a blazer what is everyone's opinion what should I do ?
I love it!! I just don’t think it deserves the Blazer nameplate.
This is really supposed to be the Equinox. #FoolMeOnceChevy
I love the styling but I think it should be an off-road ogre.
Its just a suv with the name Blazer it is no Blazer i have K5 Blazer it would eat this Tiny SUV
The bronco looks a hell of alot better
I have Diesel engine in mine gets 35MPG BETTER THAN THIS 2020
And its 45 years old
Was the old blazer REALLY some legendary offroad beast everyone says it was? I think people have the nostalgia goggles on with the old blazer, my understanding is that it was just a regular SUV of the day.
Great job joe
I really appreciate you saying that!
200k!!! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 800k more!!!
With how much you talk about twinkies and m and ms I’m surprised your as fit as you are lol 😂 congrats on the 200k your reviews are the best! Very informative!!!
Thanks Brian for letting me share some some snack laughs with you! I appreciate your awesome support!
Raiti's Rides I do get a great chuckle every single time!
In the 2019 review you liked the gloss black trim around the wheel...but not in the 2020?
14:15 looks like mini ping pong table..........maybe for when you’re waiting for aaa to show up. 🤣
LOL! Perfect!
Well done,Is the Blazer bigger then the Acadia GMC 2020
Definitely needs interior update exterior looks mean !!!
Nice. I have one 03
A true Blazer, was the K5! 🙃
Agree with the Zonk at the fender well. Perhaps black plastic would've been better?
Massive rear quarter window blind spot. A little pricey if this is the FWD, model.
What you checkin' out, while describing the center armrest No memory seating a definite Zonk! That's behind the times!!
Rack system is a nice plus! High center console could make for ease of use. Still feel there's a blind spot over your right shoulder, out the rear quarter window... Doesn't sound quiet inside. Maybe a different trim level would suit me, or go for an Equinox.
I really love your points! I think the update Equinox should be interesting!
I know they are completely different automobiles but if you had to decide between this and the Audi q3 perimum plus which would you own?
Gotta love dem circus peanuts, no crumbs, you're the best Joe
Thanks Chris for letting me share the laughs with you!
This video is awesome!!
FINALLY!!!!!! 200,000 SUBS😎🎉🎆🎈🎇
KASH KAY yay!!! 👍🏽😊🙏
Great review as always. The new and improved 2020 Chevy Blazer looks awesome.
Best car reviews out there ! 🚗💨💨💨💨💨💨💨💨 ✔
You are so awesome for saying that!
Does it have wireless charging pad and HUD?
Love your reviews, this is no excerption, too funny with the rubber duck comment.
Thanks Alex for your awesome support and letting me share the laughs with you!
3.6 and gloss black trim in that blue? A home run Chevy! BTW Joe, gloss black will hold up better around the wheels and back. It can be polished and car wash detailers wont slather on dressing (that greys out, in short order).
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
Love the Chevy Blazer!
She is a looker!
You’re the man 👍🏻
Nice cargo area for a good sized subwoofer box
This si true!
Personally using the Blazer name doesn’t bother me and it’s a nice CUV. However I think Chevy May have been better off using a different name just from a PR standpoint. I don’t think anyone would have been upset if they rebranded the Beretta for example as a CUV.
Seen one of these the other day for the first time, damn good looking, but man is it little!
You sure you didn't see a TrailBlazer? I have a Blazer & would never in a million years say, "man is it small!"
Coupydog you have to remember I grew up in a time when blazers were big, so yes the new ones are small.
Saw
@@johnbuntin7188 There's one in every crowed.
$42,000?! 😳
I know right!
Nice review . Can you compare it to the equinox 2020 premier ?
Thanks Roy! Yeah it just is not as roomy inside as the Equinox.
One more thing....The K5 Chevrolet Blazer became the 2 door TAHOE in 1994, then got a 4 door version in 1995, which was the Motor Trend 1996 Truck of the Year.
We need a blazer ss with 6.2L
Not gonna lie, just like the new Silverado, I hated this when it first came out. But after seeing so much since then, I actually love this thing. I think it’s so aggressive and badass looking. I can only hope they make an SS version. I’d love to see a true SRT competitor 😉 they’re not to different in terms of size so I think it’s possible to drop a LT series motor in it!
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one.
Good job
The more I see the new Blazer the more I like it. When ordering, instead of the first aid kit, opt for the life saving box of Twinkies! 😂 Nice job Joe! 8:00 pm... don’t forget! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
What's going on at 8:00pm ;-) I am so glad that I could share this Blazer and the laughs with you!
I wish they had splash guards with the blazer on it
The seats more comfortable than the 2012 chevy sonic I'm looking at getting one and the seats are terrible in my little car
Joe, you had a lot of positive things to say about the Acura RDX A-Spec. Is this Blazer even in the same league in your opinion? My thoughts are no but I haven’t been up close and personal with either vehicle yet.
I'm digging this Blazer, just wish it didn't cost so much. I'm looking to buy a AWD SUV, or a full size car with AWD in a few years from now.
I am so glad that you like this one. Tell me about it!
@@RaitisRides I like the Blazer due to the design and the horsepower. Will need to start saving money to get this SUV.
It’s a good car, but I think that the price could be lower. But I like it very much!
I like the way those headlights look,,,, until you turn them on, same with all the other vehicles that split them.
200k!!! Congrats 🎈🎉🍾🎊 Joe!!! The blazer is a nice SUV. $42k is a decent price for this vehicle. Nevertheless it should have ventilated seats at that price. It has a nice sized engine. Not crazy about the rims. Would’ve preferred to have them blacked out. Great review!! 👍
Thanks my friend for sharing the excitement with me! I totally agree with you about the seats! Thanks for letting me share this one!
How does this Blazer RS compare to the Telluride/Palisade? Well, you get more room with third row seating with the Telluride/Palisade, but you get more horsepower, almost 20 extra horses 🐎 with the Blazer in a smaller form factor which probably makes the Blazer RS more fun to drive. Which is the better choice all depends on your needs and what your looking for in a SUV.
@HM Fitness All the SRTS, Trackhawk, Urus, many others...I'd get a trackhawk over a Porsche..
jeezus this dealership sure markets the heck out of itself...2 stickers on the car and a license plate holder.
I feel your pain!
