I have a 2020 Chevy blazer daily driven and I’ve already put about 85k miles in 2 1/2 years and I honestly have no complaints, and no problems. It has great power and great handling.

This should have been the new “Trailblazer” and GM should have built a proper Blazer to live up to the legacy of the original. And no chance I am paying over $30K for this
This comment makes alot of sense , you are correct, why buy this at 51k when u can get a loaded 3 row suv such as highlander, telluride, palisade, explorer ,etc. Chevy is just using the blazer name to try and get more sales.
Chevy: What do we do when we already have so many soccer mom "pretend" SUVs? Oh yeah let's make another one and call it a Blazer. This is so pathetic from GM.
@@leonardrice1500 no because for 51k you could have a tahoe or suburban or crew cab 4wd truck... and all that money you save in fuel mileage in the blazer will be lost in far higher rate of depreciation.
- Tob1uss- - we used to complain the same in 'this side of the Atlantic" on the C6 Corvette with a "Cavalier interior"... (or worse, a Mitsubishi Evo with those LANCER ECONOBOX interiors)
@@GIGABACHI - BIG MISTAKE! Other automakers put MECHANICAL ALTERNATIVES for whenever those "electric-driven openings" fail. Not GM here... (if Doug had to test this he'd LAMBASTE GM about it)
I use The Blazer in my Sales Route and it's very dependable, Very Fast, Nice Riding and gets Great Gas Millage. Not interested in odd roading, but very stable in Snow and Ice with The delectable 4x4 and 3.6 V-6.
vehicle prices have increased across the board. Too high for all of them! It now takes a 7 yr term for most people to afford financing. Should be a 3 or 5 year loan. At that price point Chevy needs to do more....
Excellent comment and couldn't agree more. European amd Japanese cars are asking the same price but offer 10x what you get for American cars. And you're correct about the 7 year loans. They tell you the bi weekly payment thats low so you go...okay I can afford this. Sure for the next 7 8 years paying for this car. Lol
It's a shame that Chevy couldn't keep this vehicle at a practical price point. This size SUV needs to stay in the $24k-38k range...and you'd be lucky to get a base model with any collection of options for under $35,000...unfortunate.
And the Bronco is another useless practical vehicle that ford is building for a saturated market of off-road vehicle. They need to go back and built small cars for under $18k and stop pushing people to buy suv and pick-up trucks people can’t afford because I know I can’t. P.S. I’m not a truck person I’m a car person
I realize that car sales went down and I blame the millennials and soccer moms. But do you realize if this keeps going the only way you will be able to buy a car is a used car with a lot of mileage and no warranty and what cars are left will be to expensive that people can’t afford. P.S I will group trucks/suv in that category.
Good review, you covered it. I have 2019 Blazer V6 2LT ..Same powerplant. When I start off aggressively, it will burn rubber if I'm not more careful. Power comes on instantaneous, not starting at 4,000 rpms. Acceleration is impressive! I wonder why the difference?
Yeh. I still have no idea what they were thinking naming it Blazer. Especially when we could already see the writing on the wall with the new Bronco. How dumb do you have to be to not see the current off-roading trend and then take the most well known name for an off-road SUV outside of Grand Cherokee (oh yeh. I almost forgot about the exact same thing FCA did with the Cherokee nameplate 😂) and slap it on a weak crossover? Just dumb!
Mike Lyssy the Cherokee had to evolve and with the wrangler there they didn’t need to worry about that slot because the wrangler fills a void in price point but now that the wagoner and grand wagoner are coming back that’s what should be paid attention to
I'm not a GM guy but even I know that this isn't worthy of the Blazer name. I should say I'm not into new GMs but I do like them from the late 80's and older. I had a rusty 84 K10 with a 305 but I still liked it. My friend had a K5 he swapped a 6.2 diesel into. Good memories and good looking trucks. What's more laughable about this thing is the terrible commercials with the "real" public stating that it looks like nothing else on the road. It looks like everything else GM makes. Shake my head and cringe at the new "Blazer".....
Its not that bad looking actually, front end is sharp. But if you grew up in 80s and 90s this name and product hurts! Marketing depts need to stop relying on name recognition from yesteryear and bring in something more edgy. If they named it something else that would take out more then half the haters and snarky comments.
Short answer, hell NO! GM has to charge more for the existing products since they unwisely canceled their car offerings, leaving them without a bridge to fill in the price gap between lower and higher priced offerings.
Wow almost every comment is negative on this one, and i agree 51k for a smallish car suv thing is insane. I mean lets be honest here its pretty much a better looking equinox that will be worth 8k in 5 years.
This is definitely my favorite Chevy SUV but GM really loves to overprice their products but they still lack to have some tech and safety features standard compared to it's competitors.
Chevrolet is hoping that the nostalgia that it brings is worth the extra 20k its overpriced. This was built for H.S. & College kids which 99% cant afford. The 50K suv buyers are choosing German & Japanese brands.
I own one and have been very pleased. I did have the electronics fail with it not even being a year old, so that was very disappointing. It was all repaired under warranty. Everyone where I loves the look of the car, I have the Blue one. I think it is worth the money for a sub luxury SUV, in Ft. Lauderdale at the Conrad it was parked next to RR's and Bentley's, so it definitely has some style that people like.
Yes , great presentation! This is an sports car version of a cross-over. If they had the 'off road' capabilities of the Old Blazer, it would have been a game changer. So, as far as competition, its not a match for the Bronco, and I'm not even sure it can go up against the Rav4.
A lot of Camaro outside and inside. All the plastic bits that bend when his hands touch/move nearby parts makes it look cheap. Not bad overall design. Yeah, $51k is hard for me.
Photography is all jacked up. It was hard as hell to get a view of the overall look of the vehicle. A wider panning of the vehicle would have been better. I don’t get why some car critics find the worst places to photo the car. It’s was like someone in the witness protection program reviewing cars.
These comments are full of upset loyal Chevy fanboys. I would be to if knew Chevy was out sold by Ram last year and the quality of GM products keep going down, and guess what? The Bronco hasn’t even come out yet. Haha. Chevy has and will always be seeing Ford’s tail lights.
How many options and accessories did this press mule have that pushed the price to $51k? Can an RS be had for less if some of those options are skipped?
The reason I got mine! Most of the ones I see on road (few as they are) are base model-trim, not RS. In base trim, nothing about them sets them apart from an Equinox or Traverse. They blend in too much. The RS line has the sporty tweaks & U can add factory racing stripes.
Hi Tommy 🙂, great video.The exterior color is awesome but not worth $50k. One could get a Volvo XC40 or XC60 for close to or at the same price of this Chevy Blazer. There are better comparable options, again, great vid Tommy 🙂.
Old Gear Head - 51K "Loonies" (that's how I've heard people call them) is ~ 37.5K U$. I think it's worth a bit more for a topped-up "CamaroCross RS", like 59K "Loonies" = 43.4K U$. That is maybe doable with heavy incentives...
@ablackprep - that depends on what you're talking about. 51K Yen (< U$475), Korean Won (` U$42.50) or Maxican Peso (< U$ 2.3K) are way low for an automobile... The others, well... (suffice to say both the Euro and the British Sterling are traded > U$1 each)
Lease it. If you dont like GM financial lease programs try to find a dealer who will use US Bank or Ally for leasing also and get a smoking deal on this. If you want to buy this just find one slightly used when all the value has been lost already and you're good.
hate this video ! just bought a 2021 Blazer(chevy red) at yesterday after tax $62.200 with some good speclist :D but I like RS enginee sound , and I have other RS too Camaro. so I love these cars , I dont mind price just like them then must have them!
I have the 2019 Blazer Premier and the only difference in the 2020 I can see is the override on the auto stop feature which on mine doesn’t work anyway. I especially like the cargo rails that they discontinued after 2020.
@@Proxyyy825 - that SEASONed name doesn't have the same RECOGNITION as the Camaro, so... (why do you think Mitsubishi call their compact crossover EclipseCross?)
Absolutely not! When you factor in the meager and miserable wages paid to the assembly crew in the factory that made it in the southernmost NAFTA country, GM's mendacity is elevated to the level of obscenity.
Right Lane Hog - "won't mention Mexico by name?". Could've been worse as the only other factory that makes it is the same one in Shanghai, PRC that makes the Buick Envision platform mate. At least Mexicans on the assembly line make like U$4 / hour, imagine how much the Chinese workers make...
@@syxepop In the PRC they are paid much more than in North America's wage ghettos which proves again that NAFTA is all about lowering or keeping low the wages paid to North American workers. I very specifically did not mention the country's name because my complaint is with General Mediocrity and that corporate-crafted trade swindle called NAFTA.
@Right Lane Hog - WAIT A SECOND... ARE YOU A CHINESE OR RUSSIAN BOT??? (sounds like one) This BOT just spewed ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES I'VE EVER READ. I've read that the avg. Chinese auto worker in deed is paid HIGHER than the avg. Mexican one by maybe +U$1-2 / hour. WE CAN HELP Mexican workers to get what they're due, unlike Chinese ones that need to OVERTHROW THEIR GOV'T (they don't have the will) before that begins to happen. Marxist Socialism is the CULT TO INEQUALITY as is FACISM... Seriously. But Chinese auto workers are NOT PAID EVEN CLOSE TO THEIR US OR CANADIAN COUNTERPARTS (< U$20 / HOUR for Canada, US Asian-owned and entry-level US-owned factories and > U$20 / HOUR for others). DON'T TRY TO DIVIDE US WITH YOUR LIES and get back to Beijing / Moscow... (or wherever) COMMON SENSE RULES! PS: I've just read that if the "guy" if he's not a bot, is a "Oregon hillbilly" (strange since most of the people living there are far from "extreme alt right", they're mostly from the left). Let me tell you that (left and right) EXTREMISTS are more alike than you may think.
Shawn Johnson - try to assemble a car at U$4 / hour (a bit > 1/2 the US minimum wage) and then you tell me. Others (Chinese, Korean...) are surprisingly close to that as well...

Hi Tommy 🙂, great video.The exterior color is awesome but not worth $50k. One could get a Volvo XC40 or XC60 for close to or at the same price of this Chevy Blazer. There are better comparable options, again, great vid Tommy 🙂.
How will it stack up with its og rival the Bronco?
Yea...
No
I would like to say thank you for your very fair review
51 K Canadian maybe, only because the deep discount on our dollar right now.
Old Gear Head - 51K "Loonies" (that's how I've heard people call them) is ~ 37.5K U$. I think it's worth a bit more for a topped-up "CamaroCross RS", like 59K "Loonies" = 43.4K U$. That is maybe doable with heavy incentives...
@ablackprep - that depends on what you're talking about.
51K Yen (< U$475), Korean Won (` U$42.50) or Maxican Peso (< U$ 2.3K) are way low for an automobile...
The others, well... (suffice to say both the Euro and the British Sterling are traded > U$1 each)
Can't I just get a used escalated and have money left over for the rims
Not worth it at all
Anyone know if there's talk of a performance "SS" version in the future?
There’s not a car or truck on the road worth $50k IMO.
lol, I'm pretty sure a lot of cars and trucks are worth 50k.
Lease it. If you dont like GM financial lease programs try to find a dealer who will use US Bank or Ally for leasing also and get a smoking deal on this. If you want to buy this just find one slightly used when all the value has been lost already and you're good.
Chris Garcia - if I figure this CamaroCross RS is worth U$43K new as it is, I'd figure U$35K for a '20 "merely used" one...
No thank you, lease it
I love it and can't wait to get my Blazer RS in Red Hot with all the bells and whistles
The red hot looks pretty neat!
50k for a suv that isn’t fast nor can go off road lol 😂 😂🤦🏾♂️👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾👈🏾.
hate this video ! just bought a 2021 Blazer(chevy red) at yesterday after tax $62.200 with some good speclist :D but I like RS enginee sound , and I have other RS too Camaro. so I love these cars , I dont mind price just like them then must have them!
At 50 grand & I can't say = I have a Cadillac. ( nope ) HA.HA.HA
I have the 2019 Blazer Premier and the only difference in the 2020 I can see is the override on the auto stop feature which on mine doesn’t work anyway. I especially like the cargo rails that they discontinued after 2020.
Had one as a rental for 3 weeks while my car was being repaired. Such a crap vehicle!
What do you own for comparison? I've seen dealerships give very expensive cars as loaners. Or just cheap ones. Seemingly random
Maybe they placed it there as a sort of door bumper? 1:33 I dunno...
its looks...oh wait its a blazer that is all wheel drive not 4x4. ill pass
tow master - call it "CamaroCross" and call it a day...
syxepop or the Grand Equinox
@@Proxyyy825 - that SEASONed name doesn't have the same RECOGNITION as the Camaro, so...
(why do you think Mitsubishi call their compact crossover EclipseCross?)
syxepop but why ruin the name of a great muscle car over a crossover, We don’t need a repeat of the Eclipse Cross or Mustang Mach E it’s horrible.
@@Proxyyy825 - I didn't say I like it...
Only that they're capable of that and "a possible why".
I’ll pay 51K when GM can tell me why should I pay all that for junk !!!!
Had to waste the blazer name on this 🤭
S10 where are you truck and Bazer with a 2 door?
Absolutely not! When you factor in the meager and miserable wages paid to the assembly crew in the factory that made it in the southernmost NAFTA country, GM's mendacity is elevated to the level of obscenity.
Right Lane Hog - "won't mention Mexico by name?". Could've been worse as the only other factory that makes it is the same one in Shanghai, PRC that makes the Buick Envision platform mate.
At least Mexicans on the assembly line make like U$4 / hour, imagine how much the Chinese workers make...
You do realize they're way over paid right?
@@syxepop In the PRC they are paid much more than in North America's wage ghettos which proves again that NAFTA is all about lowering or keeping low the wages paid to North American workers. I very specifically did not mention the country's name because my complaint is with General Mediocrity and that corporate-crafted trade swindle called NAFTA.
@Right Lane Hog - WAIT A SECOND... ARE YOU A CHINESE OR RUSSIAN BOT??? (sounds like one)
This BOT just spewed ONE OF THE BIGGEST LIES I'VE EVER READ. I've read that the avg. Chinese auto worker in deed is paid HIGHER than the avg. Mexican one by maybe +U$1-2 / hour.
WE CAN HELP Mexican workers to get what they're due, unlike Chinese ones that need to OVERTHROW THEIR GOV'T (they don't have the will) before that begins to happen.
Marxist Socialism is the CULT TO INEQUALITY as is FACISM... Seriously.
But Chinese auto workers are NOT PAID EVEN CLOSE TO THEIR US OR CANADIAN COUNTERPARTS (< U$20 / HOUR for Canada, US Asian-owned and entry-level US-owned factories and > U$20 / HOUR for others).
DON'T TRY TO DIVIDE US WITH YOUR LIES and get back to Beijing / Moscow... (or wherever)
COMMON SENSE RULES!
PS: I've just read that if the "guy" if he's not a bot, is a "Oregon hillbilly" (strange since most of the people living there are far from "extreme alt right", they're mostly from the left). Let me tell you that (left and right) EXTREMISTS are more alike than you may think.
Shawn Johnson - try to assemble a car at U$4 / hour (a bit > 1/2 the US minimum wage) and then you tell me.
Others (Chinese, Korean...) are surprisingly close to that as well...
Kid: “Mom, can we get a Chevy Blazer?”
Mom: “We have a Chevy Blazer at home.”
Chevy Blazer at home:
You cave apes are seriously corny and stupid
No chevy is worth 50gs
At 3:15 thought that was a mini ping pong table........for when you’re waiting for aaa to come. 🤣
I feel your pain at the beginning of the video Tommy trying to come up with anything positive about that Equinox I mean Blazer, still a great review! You guys are awesome
So I have this car. LOL he did not floor it. It moves for how heavy it is. He just was playing with it .
