Is the 2019 Chevy Blazer RS a BOOM or BUST?

- The ALL NEW Chevy Blazer back, but is it better then ever? This Blazer RS features the tried and true 3.6L V6 under the hood mated to a 9 speed automatic gearbox. From it's eye catching exterior to it's Camaro inspired interior does the 2019 Blazer RS deliver?

The fog lights are the head lights. The lights you thought were the headlights are the daytime running lights.
48K lmaooooooooo and Audi selling their RS3 for 68K, wtf is wrong with these money hungry car companies!
You are so very right! Thanks for watching!
Thuggerbae I just got mine in that color only paid 39K my wife works for Chevy
48k? Pretty soon only the rich will be able to afford cars.
start 36000 to 43000 $
Where already there my friend
car markers will be out of business if that's going to happen. Just buy pre-owned.
Leon Flames lmao you dumb fuck. Has nothing to do with Trump
Right, that's how it was when cars first came out.
49k yea right just wait 4 or 5 years it will devalue to around 15k
Thank you so for sharing your input and perspective on that! I appreciate you watching!
By year 6 it will be up on blocks in someone’s backyard.
43000
@1CBRDUDE Nah, just the American brands make shitty cars for the most part. Imports all the way!
And wait to see how they Held up over time.
Honestly I love this car. The red doesn’t really do it justice, the blazer looks so sick in all black. I test drove one of these and it’s actually a very comfortable car. I feel like once GM drops the price it’ll be more like-able.
Very good points! I am glad that I could share this one with you!
I have it in Silver Ice, that is so much richer.
The all black didn't do it for me. The blazing red with everything blacked out is what had me sold. Had my red rs blackout 2 years now & LOVE IT!!
GM ruin the Blazer, it's like any other SUV. Ford did it right with the Bronco!
You are so very right!
Ru2yaz Check out GMC Acadia for 2020. It’s just like the old Blazer..
Sure, but this thing will sell a hell of a lot more units than the Bronco. People want crossovers not big bulky suvs! It's not 1979 anymore!
John McEntire tell that to the Jeep, G wagon buyers.
Love the way it looks, wouldnt buy for more than 30k new.
I totally agree with you Joe!
Joe Rez Well, it’s very difficult to find vehicles new for $30k like this Chevy. Wait 1-3 years and buy used. No problem. Should depreciate a minimum of $5k per year. It’s surprises me how much New vehicles are costing.
I just purchased mine today and I love it! Thank you for all of the information.
Why in 2019 are dealers still putting their ugly advertising stickers on a car? Just stop it. It’s so ugly and sticks out like a sore thumb. The license plate border should be enough.
Thank you for sharing you input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Enjoyed watching!
I am so glad to hear that! Thanks!
Brock Wayne I make them take their garbage off my car before it leaves the lot. Told the sales guys at Mazda and Toyota where I bought my last 2 suv’s. Went to pick them up and dealerships decals were on both. I refused to take the keys until they removed them all.
I heard that... first thing for me is remove that first day home, with hair dryer. I like a clean car look.
When it's all said and done, this vehicle isn't worth 50k plus for a 4 door Camaro SUV. Nice look but the price will leave them sitting on the parking lot.
I totally understand where you are coming from! Thank you so much for watching!
My first car was a Chevy blazer brand new 26k no miles ordered from the factory , i loved it last 14 years. They don’t make them like they use to for 48k
This is not a Blazer! Just a fancy equinox!,,, 😬
AGREED!
EXACTLY!
Every car is different
Yup
Yep it sucks
Chevy's got a lot of nerve selling this good looking "CRAP" so expensively...
I feel your pain!
Lol
Calling a beautiful vehicle like this “CRAP” is just wrong. Call it overpriced if you want but this vehicle is far far far from crap!
@@jameskroeger3730 it's a buick enclave or gmc Acadia with a different front end. Camaro inspired with the same shit ass 3.6 liter. I work for gm these engines are terrible lol
Jeremy hare there nothing wrong with these vehicles and every auto manufacturer shares platforms. As far as the V6 is concerned I’ve only heard that GM had originally recommended oil change intervals that were too long.
I like it...but only if it were half the price they are asking for. GM must be delusional.
Yeah the price needs to drop some!
They're asking too much for these. Honestly speaking, I'd rather get a lightly used vette for that price! Hell, you can get a brand new 1LT stingray for under 50 grand, even though they aren't in the same category but the vette is a great value and better looking! Just saying!
Ravaniscool that is a very good point!
$48k? Goodness gracious...I’ll keep my 2015, 2014, and 2003 model cars that I currently own. These SUV/CUV prices arre getting out of control. Or...just wait 2-3 years and buy a used one for half the price.
Absolutely right.
The slim upper housing for the lights is only the Daytime LEDs. The “fog lights” are actually the headlights, and will turn on automatically when the car detects it is dark enough or when manually activated
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
@@RaitisRides Its not input and perception...its fact. It has ugly headlights like the Nissan Juke. This car is just hot garbage at a VERY unreasonable price. Chevy is all over the place now with weird stuff right now.
I am pissed finding out that the front fascia has to be dropped to change a head light bulb, but the ride is nice and the 6 cylinder has great pickup. But the Infotainment system is quirky. Not good, if you can't turn it off, and sometimes the back wipers don't work.
I LOVE the look of the new Blazers. Especially in this color. Love everything about it!
those "fog lights" ARE the headlights.....
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Steve Young is correct!
I saw the sticker price for this thing at the Chicago Auto Show last year and I literally laughed out loud.
For a run of the mill V6--chevy is crazy.For that price it should have an AWD and a 6.2 V8.There are way too many cars you can buy in that price range.
@@khroninMade in Korea-Korea-Mexico-Korea/US Trax-T:Blazer-Blazer-Equinox... Sad when Toyota is making most of their SUVs in the US. Monster Toyota/Mazda plant going up in Bama
LMAO at the Headlight segment.....🤣
Nice video bro.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Great video man love watching these
You make very good points thank you I like to listen to your Opinions about the cars thank you keep it up man!
That is so very wonderful of you to say David!
I Have This Exact Model And I Love It!
Great detailed review. I always appreciate your open minded approach. I thought I’d check out after 2 minutes - but you got me liking it enough to stay till the end. It’s a Blazer in name only. Looks like a variety of other manufacturers depending on which view you’re seeing. In the end - I’m surprised to say it looks really nice. Seems like a quality package. But yeah the price (without AWD) at 48k is pretty steep. If I was shopping for that market - I’d certainly include the Blazer in my search ... it seems worthy of consideration for sure. Thnx Joe
I really appreciate you taking the time to say that! I went into this review not thinking much of the Blazer but I was pleasantly surprised!
Does It have fog lights
I owned a 73 K5 blazer and an Equinox, now I own the new blazer. I love it. It is a great vehicle.
Saw one today and I did a double take. I had no clue what it was till I saw the name! Completely refreshed that’s for sure.
you hit the nail on the head!
This is way to expensive. This is why Hyundai and Kia is looking quite attractive for price and what amenities are offered. Plus they have become very reliable over the years. I'll pass on this one.
I totally agree with you!
Yup I went from Chevy to Nissan
@@ng5279 Not sure if you really upgraded lol. I mean Nissan will probably last for a while, but that CVT though...eh
candi0497 the Mazda has this and more half the price
Hyundai and Kia 4-cylinder engines have been catching fire. They're currently under investigation by the Feds. As it becomes more public, that will dog the image of both brands.
I have one on order so nice video and I expect to be pleasantly surprised as well as I am a 2017 Camaro SS II owner also
I am so happy to hear congrats!
That's cute.
I love your honesty and insight.
That really means so much!
Great video! It also has 21' wheels available btw also when driving it, that would have been the perfect time to show the Rear Camera Mirror!!
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Dude you should know a little more about your product b4 you try to review it. Headlight are daytime running light, fog light, are headlights. Hp 305 tq 269lb ft..
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
He reviews like 7 cars a week! I don’t know how he does it. He should have more subs! He missed it on the headlights but you can’t win them all.
Honestly his reviews are awesome! Nobody is perfect but effort is a big factor in life and he shore as hell puts in effort !!!
Tim R. Thanks for understanding! The funny thing is I wasn’t expecting to review this Blazer. It just got done through PDI when I was there. So I jumped on it before it sold. Thanks for having my back!😊👍🏻
Antonio Jenkins I really appreciate you saying that! Thanks for having my back.
Can't wait for the explorer St review,been waiting for this review
It's coming soon!
Great video with the history and review
Thanks Brandon! That means a lot!
Omg. General Motors! We wanted a simple same as the 1970 blazer ! You could have brought back the same thruck from 1970 and it would have sold like hot cakes! Here’s what we wanted! A full removable top , big seats with little gadgets 4 wheel drive options and almost identical look as the 69 ! We wanted a wide stance with a superior v 8 engine duel captain seats we with a rear split bench seat! The closest vehicle I have found to the blazer is the 2000 Escalade! Which sits in my drive today! My kid loves it and so do I! We do love the Silverado from 2014 to present! This looks like a grandmothers grocery store suv!
You are so very right William! I really appreciate you sharing your input and thoughts! Thank you so much for watching!
This should of called this Chevy Camaro Grande. Looks like a Lexus RX.
I really like them. My Girl has a 2019 Blazer AWD V6 RS Model. She paid a tad over 40k fully loaded, sticker was 49,000. They look great in person and are decently quick, sub 7 seconds 0-60.
I dont think GM should of called it the Blazer, I was thinking Trailblazer, but then again, GM is making a new Trailblazer now which is the smaller brother to this one, which will compete with the Escape.
Everyone complaining about price, the price starts at the same price as the Ford Edge, its competitor. The Edge starts at 30K and fully loaded they are $53k, while the Blazer starts at 30k and full loaded goes to $54k.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective I really appreciate you watching!
No Thanks! I'll Take the Fully loaded out Ford Edge ST AWD for $45,000 Cash please..
I love the color of this SUV! Good job Joe.
Thank you DETAILS’s MAN
I have one...absolutely love it.
There is really nothing negative to say about this car.
I keep accidentally chirping the tires though, it definitely has take off.
It's beautiful also, I get alot of compliments
Hows your Blazer holding up? We are looking to get a newer car that is towable behind our future motorhome...and the options are limited. But the Blazer can! Love to hear your experience over the past few years.
I was purposely chirping my tires, until I found out that ones on mine cost $330 each 😮
can't deny the car looks badass, the chevy reliability is my only concern
I can totally understand where you are coming from!
Love you video excellent job this chevy elegant color love ❤️ rob from New Jersey
Great review dude.
Love the looks/style but just priced one out with what I was interested in/trim ($51,000) and they can keep the 2019 Blazer for what I priced it out at ..
Thank for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
The new base Ford Explorer is cheaper. The size doesn’t justify the price 40k starting .... too high
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Ford Explorer is made in America too!👍🏻
Starting price is 29K on the Blazer
Exploder is ugly af!
Great review bro. Greetings!
I like the way you explained the engine bay..
Looks cool! I do prefer that blue Focus RS in the background.
I am glad that you like it. You and I have very good taste!
@@RaitisRides we sure so mate!
I was looking forward to it when Chevy announced a new Blazer. Unfortunately, it feels like Chevy took the news that Ford was coming out with a new Bronco, and wanted to compete, so they dropped the Blazer name onto the next SUV that was in their production line, so they could get it out first. I feel that the Blazer name was wasted on this one. I'm still looking forward to the Bronco though.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective on this!
Yeah im a ford guy so im definitely waiting for ford to roll out the bronco and hopefully not a total waste like this thing.
He fired it up and sounded like a boring ole suv. Boring boring boring
I had a 2000 blazer. It was garbage.
I’d like to see a true Yukon 2-door to compete with the new Bronco.
I can dream...
This car is sooooo freaking nice...I didn't get it for 48k you never buy a car with 0 miles they're depreciating assets, I got it for 23k and its awesome! Fully loaded...Love it..Its beautiful an worth the price I financed and I'm 6months in!
Sick review... love the candy apple red paint job on the air vents
turns out it's Cajun Red trim on the A/C vents... my bad
He’s trying reeeeally hard to make this car look good.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
It does look good !!
Just 'cause you don't like it .
So a Camaro and an Equinox mated...
I can see it!
More like Hyundai Kona and camaro
Thats exactly what happened. Its a joke. What a waist of an established iconic name..
it's mix with hyundai Kona
I've been saying its a camaro that got assfucked by an equinox
Beautiful truck 🚚 would LOVE to own one....
RS all-wheel drive....
YAAAAAS !
I appreciate you sharing your input and perspective! Thank you so much for watching!
I saw this SUV in this color SS trim at the St Petersburg Gran Prix today, amazing color in person and the looks was spot on. I would consider this as a daily if the pricing wasn't so out of control.
I totally saw that one as well! It is one of those cars that you have to see in person! Please think I forgot about you. I have just been really slammed! I will email you about it!
Instead of another crossover what Chevy really needs is an more rugged off road capable Truck. Something to go up against the wrangler and the new bronco when it comes out. The Blazer name would have been perfect for that.
You are so very right Tom! Excellent point!
I'll keep my 70 k5
Tom c lvtz'
Off road and truck don't really goto together well man. There are okay examples. But, when you consider lack of break over angles, approach angles, and departure angles compared to suvs like the wrangler, defender, and any other addition to the mix.
Tom c manhood point! Another crossover! They would have sold the shit out of a rugged blazer!
The next time you hear about another GM Factory is being shutdown now you know, OVERPRICED
Looks good, cool dad SUV. I do do sunroofs, hopefully they give you an option at this trim level to delete it.
Wow... This and the new C8 Corvette.... Im getting both!
I actually really love the look of it. I Can't justify getting it with that price tag.
I have the regular Blazer, you don't need the RS. If you purchase a end of year leftover, you could get on for 34K.
48k? Joe, at what point will these prices eventually start getting affordable again? I realize this is 2019 now & everything is expensive but this is getting ridiculous.
mattbruno1 I really don’t understand it either & I have no idea how so many people can afford $48-50k SUVs. I still can’t believe how much Ford is getting for a brand new ‘left over’ 2017 Focus RS. $40k for a tiny Hatchback is ridiculous & I refuse to waste that kind of cash on a vehicle. I just saw the pricing on the 2020 Explorer ST & it’s well over 50k. It’s getting out of control.
I totally agree with you! The price of vehicles over all is just ridiculous!
I totally agree with you!
Of course people still buy them with their 84-month loans!
Yes & that's obviously why so many people are in a lifetime of debt with zero money in their savings accts. at retirement age. I've never felt the need to want to work all month long, only to throw away $400-500 per/month for a vehicle, it just makes no sense to me. Work hard, save up & pay cash for a vehicle.
Looks amazing!
I am so glad that you liked this one!
Dude started speeding 🤣. Good review 👍
Thanks Julius! I appreciate you watching!
I expect a more sportier and luxurious interior for 50 grand. Also, no paddle shifters for a sport version. For the price, rather have a Ford Edge st.
What nobody is discussing is the fact that this new blazer fits into the mid-size sport suv category along side the Jaguar E-Pace or Land Rover Evoque. Those both retail for $52-54 k with the same options and engine size. For that reason, this vehicle fills a nice niche. Using the Blazer insignia may or may not be the right choice, but the vehicle itself appears to be solid and sporty and sexy. Just not for any off-road duties, YET (maybe a Trail Blazer to come?).
Those are such very good points! Thanks you so much for sharing them!
@@RaitisRides thanks for your in depth reports on these vehicles.
You are so very welcome! Thanks for taking the time to say that!
Looks fantastic. Definitely considering it for my next vehicle (currently a 2010 Camaro SS/RS). The only thing I really hate is the red accents in the RS model interior. There should be an option for red or chrome.
Thanks rich for watching! Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
I got hooked after seeing the front 😍
I see a purty blue thing lurking back there!!! Thats all I was looking at lol
Nitrous Blue does catch your attention!
@@RaitisRides aren't you supposed to be at DuPont right now?? lol I would be but the wifey is quarantined with the flu :(
JSAFRIT1984 I’m in Detroit right now for the Auto Show! I hope she feels better!
That’s a pretty nice Honda CR-V!

I like the demosttration the this man doing very nice
Thank you so much for saying that!
Great rundown would have liked some info on the stereo is it a premium sound is it a Bose like I had in my 2001
Thanks John! I will try to add more of that in the future!
Beautiful color
It really pops in the sun!
Huge miss by not having a more powerful engine. I feel like this should take on the Edge ST and Durango RT. The standard 3.6 Is moist. GM......WHO WOULD BUY THIS OVER A FORD EDGE ST???? 50k for this??? Put The Crack Pipe Down! No way this should be more than 40-42k
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Absolutely correct couldnt have said it better👍
it is 43000
Richard Skipper For over $50k, yea it is.
That’s not enough power to even get a Camaro moving that quick. 0-60 in 6.5, that’s slower than modern day pickups.
It looks way too aggressive for what it actually is, they should of gone all out and brought us their own Grand Cherokee SRT /Trackhawk on the Alpha frame instead of this since they didn’t make it a rugged off-road SUV like the original Blazer.
Plus the Ford Edge ST puts down 335HP and 380TQ with the 10-speed , and does 0-60 in 5.7 for a couple thousand less.
Why would you pay more for less?
You do a great review.
That is really awesome of you to say I really appreciate it!
I bought my New 3.6 4x4 2-LT Blazer 16 Feb. And never looked under the hood until I had 2000 miles logged.
That is really great feedback!
I just got my 2019 Toyota Rav4 Adventure and I love it. I also saved a lot more than $48k that's too much for this vehicle.
Congrats! That was the better buy!
Should not have used the Blazer name. Blazer should be body on frame, solid axles, removable top, V8. This is just another suv, which is fine if that’s what you are looking for. If they called it something else I would be ok with it. I’m actually mildly irritated because I remember the old Blazers when I was a kid and this car is not a K5.
I totally agree with you, very good point!
This should have been called the equinox xl
I think it should have been called trailblazer, they were unibody soccer mom SUVs.
@@dillonh321 not even, the trailblazers had a third row. A midsize version of the Tahoe. Not a Camaro wanna be crossover luxury car
body on frame 4x4 3.6 v6 for under 30k after incentives would have sold like hot cakes
I don't care for Chevys, but I can't lie. The design and styling of this SUV is really nicely done. It looks so good for an SUV.
I like that focus rs in the back haha
Thaks for noticing!
I like the design however it's not worth 50k! The new Acura RDX is a better buy.
I totally agree with you!
Interior and exterior awesome. Price? I'll move on now.
So many would agree with that statement!
Got it couple of days ago, such an amazing car man 🔥 no regrets!
Does it have an aluminum or plastic oil pan?
What model and year & how much?
I’m an import guy but I sat in a Blazer RS today and it is the comfiest 2 row under $100,000 I’ve sat in. Chevy nailed the interior proportions perfectly. Nice and roomy with the perfect step-in height. Wife and I were leaning towards an Audi Q8 for our luxury 2 row. The Blazer doesn’t have the glitz, prestige or gizmos but man is it a comfy suv
Thanks for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Nice, but I think I’ll keep my 2019 Hyundai Santa Fe Limited for 32k, prices are getting insane with some makers
I really appreciate you sharing your input and thoughts! Thank you so much for watching!
Your 120hp less Sante Fe Limited and less features. You would need the Sante Fe Ultimate 2.0T trim level to likely match up and then you are still 70hp down. And then you are in the $40K plus range there.
John S thanks for the comment. Got the 2.0 turbo, so it’s plenty powerful for the vehicles size, and feature wise, it’s really only missing the heads up display, cooled seats, and 8 inch display/navigation. Fully loaded safety features, panoramic moon/sun roof, infinity sound system with subwoofer. Not bad for $32 K out the door.
This taco on wheels is a real piece of work, not!!!!!
John Kendall who doesn’t like tacos 🌮
I think it's a beautiful crossover, but it should never be called a Blazer. Now anyone who buys it will be labeled a pretender unless you are a soccer mom.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
Should have been called trailblazer, they were soccer mom SUVs.
in RS trim, it looks good to me. front wheel drive is nice in snow, but i'v have to go AWD. 305hp is very nice, especially w/o a turbo. need to test drive one.
This is a great modern look. This is what competition looks like.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts one this Douglas.
I'm probably biased because I own a 2018 Camaro SS, but I love the exterior and interior styling. Would I prefer a more traditional Blazer (e.g., RWD with available 4WD and a V8)? Absolutely. Regardless, I like what I see in this vehicle.
Thank for your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
GM MISSED the mark on this truck.
Thank you for your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Suv is not a truck.
.unibody
Michel Linschoten It’s a crossover
Definitely can't label that as a truck. Lol its just another crossover with amenities for the millennials
I love this car. I hope they will debut it in my country
Where are you from?
Had a Buick Enclave, Red with Tan Leather, with the 3.6 V-6 loved it but missed my Pick up so I traded back the next year for a new Silverado LTZ.
I can totally see why!
Which do you prefer this or the Ford Edge ST
I am going Edge ST for overall performance!
$48K for this?.. you must be joking! I can get a Q5 for less and even a base Porsche Macan for a few thousand more ...lol, no thanks Raiti.
I totally agree with you!Thank you for watching!
Knock off about 10k
I am in the market and I see a lot of comparisons to rdx and Q5. Those basically start at 55k. The rdx is less but is also smaller, more like equinox which tops out at 40k
@@marcarando U cant go wrong w/an RDX..
Then get a lower spec trim.
Thanks! Very interesting...
Yeah i cant see anybody taking this design off road lol. This 1000% street action for sure with a nice closed style trailer behind it hauling some nice motorcycles. I dig it.
AGREED!
Joe hope you're in Detroit also while your there see what you can find out about the new 2019 Golf R performance model Thanks Joe
Yes I am, and I will get it for you!
I dont think Chevy understands why the blazer was so popular.
I think you hit the nail on the head!
It was my car 😢
No they understand but today they figured the off roading die hards are too small a percentage compared to everyone else who wants a sports SUV. Plus they have the Colorado with a front and rear locking diff anyways.
Yea a century ago
@@zl1camaro100 what?
I've got a practical question, how do you clear ice from these slim headlight ? Does a regular ice scraper even fit in there ? Do vehicles engineers even think of winters ?
That is a great question, One of the many reasons why I live in Florida!
The actual headlight is at the bottom where the "fog lamps" are. Pretty cool
Pretty sure the headlights you are referring to are LED DRLs, and the "fog lights" are the actual HID headlights. Anyone reviewing cars should be able to tell the difference between LEDs and HIDs.
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
Raiti's Rides quit using the same shitty copy n paste replies. Redline Reviews!!!! Fuck Raiti’s shitty channel!!!
Great review. I am not a fan of GM or Chevy but I like this vehicle but the price would keep me away. The base Blazer with a 4 cylinder engine costs more or the same as a V6 Nissan Murano or V6 Honda Passport. That should not make sense. Someone at Chevy is trippin especially when the Nissan and Honda would hold its value so much more than this Chevy. C'mon Chevy you are making it hard on us who would even consider this vehicle.
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I appreciate you watching!
I agree. The Murano looks better than this Blazer and the Passport will hold its value way longer. This is so overpriced its laughable.
Thank you so much for sharing your input and perspective! I really appreciate you watching!
I feel like haters of this car are those who expected a revamp of the old blazer like how ford is doing with the bronco. I bought the 2020 blazer RS for 54k and I’m so glad I did. This thing is bad ass. There’s so many features this car has he doesn’t even go over, mainly because you have to drive it for a while to notice. And I have a 2016 2SS CAMARO which the blazer mimics and I couldn’t be happier.
Thanks for sharing that input and perspective!
Just drove to Michigan to Flordia in my sisters 2019 GMC Terrain, it was a comfortable ride but doesn’t deserve the blazer name.
