Awesome vids guys . Just picked mine up last week. I have the '19 Blazer 1lt w/ 2.5 liter 4 cylinder. Definitely digging it. I'll be posting vids soon myself.
I just saw your review it was a very detailed review thank you I bought a 2019 Blazer RS in April of 2024 with only 60,000+ miles and we love it it still looks and runs like a new car I’m still trying to figure out all the details it has to offer that’s why I’m searching for people like yourself that’s doing reviews. Thanks again for taking the time
Really good review. Finally someone as detailed as you guys on the blazer and great to hear how it runs after one year. Again great job and excellent review guys 👍🏾
I like your Blazer RS review. I am seeking a new replacement for my vehicle, and I found your review on youtube. There are few recommendations or reviews on the Blazer, and I found your review from the youtube algorithms. Keep the great work.
I have a '19 also. The auto stop feature only annoys me when I pull into the garage & come to a stop, it will shut off only to restart a second later when I shift to park. That gas pedal thing you talked about in the beginning is normal. Under WOT, the trans will hold lower gears longer, if you suddenly let off the gas, it's anticipating that you'll continue to drive it hard. It takes a couple seconds to then down shift. Mine does the same thing occasionally. Nice review. Overall, I am really happy with my Blazer.
I appreciate you two doing this review. I recently purchased one myself, and I'm enjoying it. I got the 1Lt 2.5 liter 4-cylinder fwd, and even that has got a little kick to it! I did a review of it myself. Hope you all are still enjoying your BLAZER!
I just recently bought one same model have u had any issue I'm up to 80k in mine and noticed it has a radiator leak already but nothing else has happened
@@Robertlikeswarhammer Hey Robert, So currently, I'm at 29,700 miles on my Blazer. I just had to have my front axel seal and crank seal replaced. Then I had to have a sensor replace in my gear shift, as It wasnt reading it was in park. Then before that, had the battery and tires replaced. Lets see....oh, had the rear lateral links replace and front rotors and pad replaced. Lastly, had some module replace for the rear power liftgate , as it was opening up or locking when you press the botton on the keyfob or on the liftgate itself. So this all happened with in 14,000 miles. But it is 5years old. So the elements are surly effecting th3 electronics
@@RobertlikeswarhammerLet me add to my previous reply, I got this as a C.P.O with 16,500ish miles last year in Janurary. I had to get an extended warranty. I highly recommend if you can! Ally is a great extended warrenty company. I wouldnt own this thing without one. Too much tech stuff to go bad, and its costly.
Thant was a great & informative video. Thanks for sharing it. Here are some of my opinions & comments about the Blazer. I have been an owner of a 2019 RS for the past 2 years & I Love it! I can see how the auto stop/start could get annoying. Traffic is lighter by me & only 2 lights till the highway. But when I want the car to start at a light before it turns red I just slightly lift off the break & it stars back up or I do a double tap at a complete stop & it says running. But if you want you can always turn it off in the infotainment menus & that setting will save to driver 1, 2 or both. I have a chip & its tuned but I dont remember it not wanting to go from a stop when I 1st hit the gas. But at much higher speeds mashing the throttle wasn't as responsive as it could be, even in sport mode (Needs a try hard mode) Might have been better as a 7 speed instead of a 9 speed, unless it was built mostly for hauling & towing. It definitely doesn't like to slow down after accelerating. It wants to go fast like its cousin the carmaro. The chip & the tune on mine helped a bit with that. Its still goes 50 to 70mhp in the blink of an eye, but taking my foot off the gas at 70 has me now level out at 71-72 instead of the 74-76mph I was getting before the tune & chip. I also didn't know that many people knew about putting it in L to use the shift buttons. I thought we were keeping it a secret. Guess I'll finally tell my buddy thats been bugging me for over a year how I do it. It does have plenty of room. More than i need. The foot hatch activation & the bar along with the spaces to hook nets & a rear cargo cover are god mode. I also have a multiple section fold away for extra storage separation if needed. Red/black to match my red blackout rs. Fold down seats are great & adds a bunch of space for moving even larger large items. I even used mine to move a floor scrubber to another location for work. & most people are amazed it has heated seats in the back. Only the front seats have the cooling option. Its a marvelous feature for those 105 degree days we keep having more often. I think its a perfect mix of size, power & surprisingly decent amount of luxury. I like the glove box button, but it should also close it like how the hatch works. Fun fact: you can set a 4 digit code to lock the glove box. Can even have different driver 1 & driver 2 codes. Having 2 driver settings in the memory is a great option. I have a summer fob & a winter fob. So many different settings so its easier that way. It likes the dirt, it handles the mud & in the snow it does the job. It still doesn't really understand ice on hills but what vehicle does depending on the grade of the slope & the curves in the road. It has more usb chargers than I have close friends. & the wireless charging is simply amazing. Don't understand the 120v plug in the backseat, might be useful. Call of Duty on lunch breaks? Even has an engine block heater for those up north or Texas during another random blizzard. It has many airbags & crumple zones. Haven't needed them yet. It has excellent safety features like auto lane assist, auto crash detection, adaptive cruise control, auto braking, visual alerts on dashboard & front window along with alerts on both mirrors (big side rear blind spot) The small back side window is mostly for looks. No other known use has yet to be discovered fo it. The auto braking recently saved me from hitting a big 10 point buck at 45mph. The blazer stopped itself before I got my foot on the brake. & it has saved smaller critters the past few months. The cameras are ran by some type of witchcraft. Like how does it do the far front looking back & far rear looking front views. I have my car under a carport yet it shows me a view thats above the hight of the carport. Its witchcraft or invisible drones...(Insert Change my mind meme here) I did have an issue with my adaptive cruise control a few times. Found out it was because the camera was focusing on the tennis ball hanging in front of it from my old car. Sometimes wouldn't work till I after got to the gas station for my morning monster, but it would work fine when I left the gas station. Camera was focusing on the tennis ball during vehicle start up & wasn't able to engage on the road cause it was out of focus. A friend had his focusing on the window itself sometimes when it was real cold or real hot outside. Only fix for him was to replace the front window. Even 2 new cameras didn't help resolve the problem. 2nd issue is the navigation sim card. It likes to say its not inserted properly when clearly it is. Its always pushed in all the way in & perfectly in place , its never pulled out or out of alignment. The nav system is just lonely. I believe its because I dont use the cars nav system & just wants me to engage with it sometimes. It makes sense since I do usually just use Google maps on my phone through android auto on the blazer because the nav on the blazer is awkward & feels strange to use. 3rd recent problem is my hatch just started sticking. I thought I may have spilled something but cleaned all around the seals multiple times. Going to change the piston but i dont think thats the problem. I can hear that its sticking, but maybe more power will hwlp. Just started doing it when it got cold out this year. 4th problem is the lights. I raised mine a bit because they were aimed way too low. Couldn't see the highway signs till i was right on them. Aiming them up helped but they are set too low on the vehicle. Also i dont care for the design. It has the night driving lights where the fog lights should be. Might work if the top led lights lit up the road better & went out farther. Should have th night driving lights under the led low light/daytime lights & fog lights where the night driving lights are at. I can't see anything in the fog. With its current set up. I could see way better in my 2003 chevy Malibu with its fog lights. Fog is my blazers kryptonite. Last problem is the rear side blind spots. Its a problem but nowhere near being an issue. Thats thanks to the mirrors & saftey features. The mirrors are big, unlike that decorative rear side window. Thankfully the side mirrors are decently large in size so you can see everything next to you & whatever is behind them. The mirrors also have flashing alerts on them to alert the driver if there is a vehicle or truck trailer next to them & a vibrating warning in the seat. It will even try to stop from changing lanes if it detects an obstacle next to it or almost next to it by the back of the car. It says no you can't cut other drivers off. You can also use the rear view mirror as the screen for the rear view camera. It has a screen in it. Works great if there is lots of stuff in the back or if your pulling a trailer. Or if you just wnt to see more of whats behind you. You can change the settings to see behind you & the rear sides. It has a zoom & can be raised & lowered. But the vehicle distance can look a bit off depending on your settings. Its the safest vehicle I have ever owned. The blazer rs looks like a big camaro. Same grill/lights/interior, similar side curves & hood. Looks tough & sporty with the big sport wheels on & its naturally wide aggressive stance. It already goes fast & has responsive steering with decent breaking for its weight. It can go even faster with a chip & a tune & brake much better with upgraded pads/calipers/rotors. Can even add a better exhaust & cold air intake to get the most hp. My buddies is 396hp. Mine is just 330. But no need to go crazy cause its fine out the box & stock. My opinion, but its extremely bias cause I love my Blazer RS: Looks 10/10 Safety 9.5/10 Options 9/10 Power 8.5/10 Speed 9/10 Braking 8/10 (9.5/10 after my upgrades) Size/Space 10/10 Storage 7/10 (As in places to store things like a real jack/emergency kits/tools/gloves) Comfort 10/10 Infotainment system 7.8/10 Sound System 9.5/10 Handling 8.5/10 Rain/Snow 8.5/10 Snow/Ice 8/10 Ice 7.5/10 Usually it handles ok, but sometimes auto settings on can make for an interesting adventure) sensors want a useless unpredictable use of the abs system, & wheel sometimes says turn cause the lane is turning when its not, its the car thats spinning, or it picks up a rut from a truck that goes into a ditch & it wants to go that way. Mostly its still handles fine. Be in 4x4 off-road mode shift into L so you can down shift works great for me on hills. Fog 3/10 (Go slow & hope the saftey systems see what you cant. Overall I give it a 8.5/10. Haven't had any major issues in the 2 years I've had it. I like it enough that when its time I will most likely buy another blazer. Speed/power/saftey/luxury, but kinda pricey. Buy a year or 2 older to save money. Can find them with juat a few thousand miles on them with warranty. I won't buy the ev yet. Not ready for that till 500-600 mile range becomes the norm. Im not against ev. The tech & demand just isn't there yet. So till that day comes, go buy a Blazer RS. Its a lot cheaper & better looking than a cybertruck & its safer than a tesla. (I dont have the facts to back up that last statement)
I just bought the 2022 Jet black on black, *you missed the independent passenger and driver climate control guys! lol Electric lumbar, automatic steering tilt, full moon & Sun roof, Eco mode shuts 2 cylinders off (when the dash goes from a white rectangle "V6" to a green "V4" when staying in gear for a few seconds, and maybe the '19 has it.... the rear view mirror/ camera display mode? Depends on the options. Your throttle is actually (in my experience) more responsive if you *do not floor it, but steadily increase how much your pushing the gas, it registers perfectly that way and actually picks up a lot faster I've noticed, and since there's 3 pairs of A & C Connectors I did not get the wireless charging option, but there is a little button below the start engine that disables the auto-stop. Some professionals say it can ware on Spark plugs, timing belt, and pistons... (more than normally) but there is an actual way to disable it. There's just a "Vibe" w/ the Blazer, I didn't look at it until after a year of searching (I was being real particular) and the flat dash.. wifi etc... made it an easy choice. (I initially started almost getting a Ford Maverick until realizing there was NO world where Ford made that little pickup to be any price more than an economical buy (High 20's at best) they tried to charge me the same price of the Blazer RS i got... and it's just not made that way... The Blazer, is...Congrats! I think the shifter Dial might be different, but 2x4 (front wheel) 4x4 mode, Sport/ Smart AWD that grips like a glove imo, Mountain mode, and Trailer mode w/ trailer cam for *4500 lb towing capacity... 309HP w/ 270 pound ft torque. I LOVE it, and I've been looking for a while for a mid/ small pickup... 11 months later, the market recently came down, and shout out to Banks GMC/Chevy/Buick of Concord... Really great experience there... Congrats again, I need to get that rail option (if offered after market) i need a few *clean tool bags to stay in place for me to work out of it...
My shifter is malfunctioning because of some videos I followed turning off the auto/ stop feature. I can now live with it. I also don't enjoy the little quirks with the 'Infotainment' center, the radio shutting down, the rear wiper not working , and not having a CD. I've recorded all of my cd's on a thumb drive and put it in 'shuffle mode. Trouble is, it plays the same cuts over and over again. The cooling system this summer is not good either, but most of the quirks can be solved by powering down and restarting. Someone said to me the 3.6 wasn't that good, that is bad news, because I just got rid of my 4.2 Envoy for this.
I just got the 2024 blazer RS. I had a 2 LT and i loved it. I was debating on the Cadillac xt5. But its smaller cost more on note and insurance. no surround camera. This is the last year for the xt5.
Good review, 10/10, the blazer itself, imho, looks extremely plane to me on the outside, the inside looks 7/10 but compared to its competitors i thinks it falls short.
I have the 2019 Blazer Premier, just turned 7000 miles. The only thing that doesn’t seem to work is the auto engine stop. No big deal. I like the cargo rails in the back; a feature they discontinued on the new ones. I bought the accessory tie down rings that slide in the tracks so I can tie down any type of cargo.
We leave town and you post your first video!😂 Loved watching this from Las Vegas! So proud of you...you did great! I hope there are more....you have LOTS of things you can talk about! Love you! 🥰🥰
So much for the youtuber with the most subscribers without any videos 😂🤣 I actually got a Blazer RS back in December. Been a pretty fun vehicle so far!! Definitely would recommend it!!
Just bought a 22 Black RS on 4-16 and I Love it!! Thanks for the video:) went to look at the Equinox but no Black ones and that Blazer was just sitting there~ meant to be!! Had to buy a radar detector the next day lol wicked Automobile that’s for sure.
Great job Lauren, I've been actually looking at the blazer. Looking forward to seeing more content, you and nick are one of my favorite UA-cam couples 💑
My wife has a Blazer exactly like yours. Another great feature is the rear view mirror and the ability to change it to camera mode. Also, we blacked out her side markers and she loves it! Now, the only way I can get her to trade it in is if Chevy releases it in the Mosaic Black. :D
Congratulations on your first upload. Thus comes at a great time. We are looking at getting rid of my 2017 Sonic which is my daily driver back and forth to work mostly. Really leaning towards the Blazer. Found a metallic blue just like my 2016 Camaro was. Hard to find right now with the chip shortage. Thanks for the review
You forgot to mention the adjustable power liftgate height. It can be adjusted so it doesn't lift to it's maximum height and hit low hanging obstructions in your garage. The rails that a garage door slide along and the garage door itself can be hit by the liftgate when it's fully open.
Nice informative video Lauren! Keep 'em coming! I don't have a Blazer, but like yours. I have 2 Camaros and an old Chevy truck and live about 25 miles from Harrisburg. Been subscribed to you since you started, and Nick well before that.
Love my 2019 Blazer, until last week when the computer would not recognize the shifter being in park and display center said to put the shifter in park. at that point you cant shut down the chime telling you to put it in park. and the headlights don't shut off either. $485.00 later is fixed and working fine. The shifter issue wouldn't be so irritating but last summer we got stuck with a $1275 cost tow on flatbed to have a 2008 Corvette taken home. The dealer put in 3 or 4 new shifters before getting one to work. GM please do better on part design. Still like the blazer and now the 2019 Grand Sport.
Good job on video Lauren. I drive by K&L all the time and tell my wife you should get a Blazer. I think they are nice looking. Enjoyed the review. Got to see all the cool little features. 👍👍🙂
Loved the video! So... it was kinda weird not getting the Jackson and Jefferson introduction in the beginning. And it was also kind weird not seeing Andrew in the video. 😂 The Blazer did look pretty sweet, esp with the black and red color scheme. I also loved how it was pretty feature packed without it being the highest trim level! Keep the content coming!!
9 out of 10 just because like Nick I hate that motor stop thing. I also have a 2021 Camaro and love the simalur things they share . Thks for the good review
Excellent review Lauren! Love your Blazer. Chevy definitely put a lot of thought into the design and overall attention to detail. It may as well be a "luxury" vehicle, it not only looks great but has every amenity you could ever want. Great job! . . Now, perhaps we should talk about that little slip of the tongue regarding the "it even has room for a car seat" comment..... between that and Nick's "big surprise" next video on his channel.....hmmmm 🤔 Nahhh....can't possibly...ok nevermind, I'm thinking too much again, disregard previous comment. lol I'll just keep my mouth shut and look forward to your next video. 😁
I have a 2019 3LT and now issues are starting to occur. First the backing cameras went out and now there is some module that may need replacing in which during startup it doesn't complete the cycle. I have to get a boost off daily to complete it. I love the gas mileage and performance during operation, but it's too early to have issues and I'm not a hard driver on a vehicle.
I’m pretty sure the throttle response is terrible because most vehicles nowadays have drive by wire. Unlike drive by cable, drive by wire uses sensors and signals to open and close the throttle body.
Go to the dealer and complain about the throttle lag. It could lead to a safety hazard like there's an 18 wheeler out of control and is going to T-bone you. That one second of lag could mean the difference between being engulfed in a fireball or arriving home safely. That's another reason to hate start/stop feature. I'm leaning towards a GMC Acadia where you can turn that off.
"My bag of donations." I always have a bag like that in the back of my car too.. bahaha! Great first video Lauren! Also, Nick looks nice with a purse, I know what to get him for his upcoming birthday. 😂
Got a V6 lt 2019 Blazer a month ago. Stop/start? .. better to live with it. L driving feels like higher rpm to upshift . Rather buy battery/starter than tranny. Just a good but higher maintenance vehicle.
Over 3k subs before the first video, always wondered how high it would go. Have the exact number as I’m sure you’ve gained a few in the last few hours?
We have a 2023 blazer that’s absolutely garbage oil leaks , electrical night mare going back in. Shop far 4 time with a massive oil leak and they bypassed sensors to turn off warning lights GM at their best
I'm the totally blind guy that is subscribed to Nick and Mike! Nick sent me to you! Holy crap your Blazer is fast! I'm typing with a screen reader called NVDA
@@SUVcentral I'm totally blind as well as hearing impaired from a disease called norries syndrome. I was born blind, but started losing my hearing at age 12, at 19 my hearing got so bad I needed hearing aids, now at 23 gonna be 24 Tuesday, I can no longer hear without my hearing aids. Would you still like to be my friend?
GTR tags on a chevy....Now you you all know in some parts of the country that literally would get you run off the road LOL. Nice ride, awesome 1st vid. How bout some "minor" mods to the blazer, oh i dont know, a huge turbo, or super charger I mean were just talkin minor here right, oh wait that was the camaro
First video!! 😍

THISSSSSS is a 2019 Chevy Blazer RS.. great vid
Yesss finally!!!! Love seeing you guys from your perspective
Thant was a great & informative video. Thanks for sharing it. Here are some of my opinions & comments about the Blazer.
I have been an owner of a 2019 RS for the past 2 years & I Love it! I can see how the auto stop/start could get annoying. Traffic is lighter by me & only 2 lights till the highway. But when I want the car to start at a light before it turns red I just slightly lift off the break & it stars back up or I do a double tap at a complete stop & it says running. But if you want you can always turn it off in the infotainment menus & that setting will save to driver 1, 2 or both.
I have a chip & its tuned but I dont remember it not wanting to go from a stop when I 1st hit the gas. But at much higher speeds mashing the throttle wasn't as responsive as it could be, even in sport mode (Needs a try hard mode) Might have been better as a 7 speed instead of a 9 speed, unless it was built mostly for hauling & towing.
It definitely doesn't like to slow down after accelerating. It wants to go fast like its cousin the carmaro. The chip & the tune on mine helped a bit with that. Its still goes 50 to 70mhp in the blink of an eye, but taking my foot off the gas at 70 has me now level out at 71-72 instead of the 74-76mph I was getting before the tune & chip.
I also didn't know that many people knew about putting it in L to use the shift buttons. I thought we were keeping it a secret. Guess I'll finally tell my buddy thats been bugging me for over a year how I do it.
It does have plenty of room. More than i need. The foot hatch activation & the bar along with the spaces to hook nets & a rear cargo cover are god mode. I also have a multiple section fold away for extra storage separation if needed. Red/black to match my red blackout rs. Fold down seats are great & adds a bunch of space for moving even larger large items. I even used mine to move a floor scrubber to another location for work. & most people are amazed it has heated seats in the back. Only the front seats have the cooling option.

Having 2 driver settings in the memory is a great option. I have a summer fob & a winter fob. So many different settings so its easier that way. It likes the dirt, it handles the mud & in the snow it does the job. It still doesn't really understand ice on hills but what vehicle does depending on the grade of the slope & the curves in the road.
It has more usb chargers than I have close friends. & the wireless charging is simply amazing. Don't understand the 120v plug in the backseat, might be useful. Call of Duty on lunch breaks? Even has an engine block heater for those up north or Texas during another random blizzard.
It has many airbags & crumple zones. Haven't needed them yet. It has excellent safety features like auto lane assist, auto crash detection, adaptive cruise control, auto braking, visual alerts on dashboard & front window along with alerts on both mirrors (big side rear blind spot) The small back side window is mostly for looks. No other known use has yet to be discovered fo it.
The auto braking recently saved me from hitting a big 10 point buck at 45mph. The blazer stopped itself before I got my foot on the brake. & it has saved smaller critters the past few months.

You can also use the rear view mirror as the screen for the rear view camera. It has a screen in it. Works great if there is lots of stuff in the back or if your pulling a trailer. Or if you just wnt to see more of whats behind you. You can change the settings to see behind you & the rear sides. It has a zoom & can be raised & lowered. But the vehicle distance can look a bit off depending on your settings. Its the safest vehicle I have ever owned.
The blazer rs looks like a big camaro. Same grill/lights/interior, similar side curves & hood. Looks tough & sporty with the big sport wheels on & its naturally wide aggressive stance. It already goes fast & has responsive steering with decent breaking for its weight. It can go even faster with a chip & a tune & brake much better with upgraded pads/calipers/rotors. Can even add a better exhaust & cold air intake to get the most hp. My buddies is 396hp. Mine is just 330. But no need to go crazy cause its fine out the box & stock.
My opinion, but its extremely bias cause I love my Blazer RS:
Looks 10/10
Safety 9.5/10
Options 9/10
Power 8.5/10
Speed 9/10
Braking 8/10 (9.5/10 after my upgrades)
Size/Space 10/10
Storage 7/10 (As in places to store things like a real jack/emergency kits/tools/gloves)
Comfort 10/10
Infotainment system 7.8/10
Sound System 9.5/10
Handling 8.5/10
Rain/Snow 8.5/10
Snow/Ice 8/10
Ice 7.5/10 Usually it handles ok, but sometimes auto settings on can make for an interesting adventure) sensors want a useless unpredictable use of the abs system, & wheel sometimes says turn cause the lane is turning when its not, its the car thats spinning, or it picks up a rut from a truck that goes into a ditch & it wants to go that way. Mostly its still handles fine. Be in 4x4 off-road mode shift into L so you can down shift works great for me on hills.
Fog 3/10 (Go slow & hope the saftey systems see what you cant.
Overall I give it a 8.5/10. Haven't had any major issues in the 2 years I've had it. I like it enough that when its time I will most likely buy another blazer. Speed/power/saftey/luxury, but kinda pricey. Buy a year or 2 older to save money. Can find them with juat a few thousand miles on them with warranty. I won't buy the ev yet. Not ready for that till 500-600 mile range becomes the norm. Im not against ev. The tech & demand just isn't there yet.
So till that day comes, go buy a Blazer RS. Its a lot cheaper & better looking than a cybertruck & its safer than a tesla. (I dont have the facts to back up that last statement)
I just bought the 2022 Jet black on black, *you missed the independent passenger and driver climate control guys! lol Electric lumbar, automatic steering tilt, full moon & Sun roof, Eco mode shuts 2 cylinders off (when the dash goes from a white rectangle "V6" to a green "V4" when staying in gear for a few seconds, and maybe the '19 has it.... the rear view mirror/ camera display mode? Depends on the options.
Your throttle is actually (in my experience) more responsive if you *do not floor it, but steadily increase how much your pushing the gas, it registers perfectly that way and actually picks up a lot faster I've noticed, and since there's 3 pairs of A & C Connectors I did not get the wireless charging option, but there is a little button below the start engine that disables the auto-stop. Some professionals say it can ware on Spark plugs, timing belt, and pistons... (more than normally) but there is an actual way to disable it.
There's just a "Vibe" w/ the Blazer, I didn't look at it until after a year of searching (I was being real particular) and the flat dash.. wifi etc... made it an easy choice. (I initially started almost getting a Ford Maverick until realizing there was NO world where Ford made that little pickup to be any price more than an economical buy (High 20's at best) they tried to charge me the same price of the Blazer RS i got... and it's just not made that way... The Blazer, is...Congrats!
I think the shifter Dial might be different, but 2x4 (front wheel) 4x4 mode, Sport/ Smart AWD that grips like a glove imo, Mountain mode, and Trailer mode w/ trailer cam for *4500 lb towing capacity... 309HP w/ 270 pound ft torque. I LOVE it, and I've been looking for a while for a mid/ small pickup... 11 months later, the market recently came down, and shout out to Banks GMC/Chevy/Buick of Concord... Really great experience there... Congrats again, I need to get that rail option (if offered after market) i need a few *clean tool bags to stay in place for me to work out of it...
My shifter is malfunctioning because of some videos I followed turning off the auto/ stop feature. I can now live with it. I also don't enjoy the little quirks with the 'Infotainment' center, the radio shutting down, the rear wiper not working , and not having a CD. I've recorded all of my cd's on a thumb drive and put it in 'shuffle mode. Trouble is, it plays the same cuts over and over again. The cooling system this summer is not good either, but most of the quirks can be solved by powering down and restarting. Someone said to me the 3.6 wasn't that good, that is bad news, because I just got rid of my 4.2 Envoy for this.
Good job Lauren, nice to see ya make a video.
Thanks Keith! Hope all is well.
You're a natural! Great job! Loved the review. 👍👍
It’s like u been doing it for yrs. 💪🏻🤘🏻
Au natural 💁🏻♀️🤣
Eehhh!! Laurens finally uploading! Super excited to watch your videos 😍
I've driven the Blazer at work and I certainly do like them! Great review of it!
The part where Nick put his seat back was hilarious. 😂
Awesome video Lauren love watching y'all
Yay so happy to see you make a video. Much love my friend great video!!!!
❤️❤️
I just got the 2024 blazer RS. I had a 2 LT and i loved it. I was debating on the Cadillac xt5. But its smaller cost more on note and insurance. no surround camera. This is the last year for the xt5.
Laura getting my 2022 this Wednesday RS Black on Black can’t wait!!!! Nice video 😀
Thank you for this review, I’ve been looking for a personal daily driven one like this! I’ll have my own Chevy Blazer soon!!! 🥳🥳
did you get one!?
H-O-L-Y C-R-A-P, Lauren uploaded a video!
CAN YOU BELIEVE IT!!
I just got the 2021 Blazer and I love it! Only the v6 for me.
Good review, 10/10, the blazer itself, imho, looks extremely plane to me on the outside, the inside looks 7/10 but compared to its competitors i thinks it falls short.
I have the 2019 Blazer Premier, just turned 7000 miles. The only thing that doesn’t seem to work is the auto engine stop. No big deal. I like the cargo rails in the back; a feature they discontinued on the new ones. I bought the accessory tie down rings that slide in the tracks so I can tie down any type of cargo.
I want one so bad! There so pretty and I love all the little features you went over
There’s a button to deactivate the automatic cutoff. It’s to the right of the steering wheel. Looks like an A with a circle around it.
That override feature is only on 2020 and later models
We leave town and you post your first video!😂 Loved watching this from Las Vegas! So proud of you...you did great! I hope there are more....you have LOTS of things you can talk about! Love you! 🥰🥰
So much for the youtuber with the most subscribers without any videos 😂🤣 I actually got a Blazer RS back in December. Been a pretty fun vehicle so far!! Definitely would recommend it!!
Wow you finally made a video I’m watching the video while I’m at work
Thanks for watching 🙂
Solid first vlog girl!
Thank ya!!!
Nice car. It's a beauty. I'd take one in a heart beat. Thanks for all the great info and details. Enjoy your cool Chevy. 👍
Hi Lauren n Nick congrats n good luck with your new journey!!
Awe thank you!
Just bought a 22 Black RS on 4-16 and I Love it!! Thanks for the video:) went to look at the Equinox but no Black ones and that Blazer was just sitting there~ meant to be!! Had to buy a radar detector the next day lol wicked Automobile that’s for sure.
Great job Lauren, I've been actually looking at the blazer. Looking forward to seeing more content, you and nick are one of my favorite UA-cam couples 💑
Chevy Blazers are my dream cars and I was gonna ask for advise on possibly trying to get one?
My wife has a Blazer exactly like yours. Another great feature is the rear view mirror and the ability to change it to camera mode. Also, we blacked out her side markers and she loves it! Now, the only way I can get her to trade it in is if Chevy releases it in the Mosaic Black. :D
YES THE MIRROR! I realized I forgot to mention that once we were done filming and my friend mentioned it! Like how could I forget that!
Congratulations on your first upload. Thus comes at a great time. We are looking at getting rid of my 2017 Sonic which is my daily driver back and forth to work mostly. Really leaning towards the Blazer. Found a metallic blue just like my 2016 Camaro was. Hard to find right now with the chip shortage. Thanks for the review
did you end up making the switch? I have a 2012 sonic and also looking at the blazer!
@@torxx9601 hello. No. We ended up getting a Buick Envision.
Yay Lauren!! You rocked it girlie!!!!!!
Thx!!!❤️❤️
I just bought a 2021 hot red one. I love it.
You forgot to mention the adjustable power liftgate height. It can be adjusted so it doesn't lift to it's maximum height and hit low hanging obstructions in your garage. The rails that a garage door slide along and the garage door itself can be hit by the liftgate when it's fully open.
Nice informative video Lauren! Keep 'em coming! I don't have a Blazer, but like yours. I have 2 Camaros and an old Chevy truck and live about 25 miles from Harrisburg. Been subscribed to you since you started, and Nick well before that.
Love my 2019 Blazer, until last week when the computer would not recognize the shifter being in park and display center said to put the shifter in park. at that point you cant shut down the chime telling you to put it in park. and the headlights don't shut off either. $485.00 later is fixed and working fine.
The shifter issue wouldn't be so irritating but last summer we got stuck with a $1275 cost tow on flatbed to have a 2008 Corvette taken home. The dealer put in 3 or 4 new shifters before getting one to work. GM please do better on part design.
Still like the blazer and now the 2019 Grand Sport.
Came to follow...but my wife also wants a blazer.. so this is perfect 😎
Yesss she needs one! Check out the blazer red line package. So freakin sleek!!
There should be a button on the dash or a setting to turn off the feature where the car turns off at red lights.
Good job Lauren looking forward to your next video
Can't wait for more videos!!!
Good job on video Lauren. I drive by K&L all the time and tell my wife you should get a Blazer. I think they are nice looking. Enjoyed the review. Got to see all the cool little features. 👍👍🙂
Bout time, nice to see you join the youtube fam keep going
Loved the video! So... it was kinda weird not getting the Jackson and Jefferson introduction in the beginning. And it was also kind weird not seeing Andrew in the video. 😂 The Blazer did look pretty sweet, esp with the black and red color scheme. I also loved how it was pretty feature packed without it being the highest trim level! Keep the content coming!!
Hey!!! Nice!! Glad you uploaded!!
9 out of 10 just because like Nick I hate that motor stop thing. I also have a 2021 Camaro and love the simalur things they share . Thks for the good review
Great job Lauren!!!
Excellent review Lauren!
Love your Blazer. Chevy definitely put a lot of thought into the design and overall attention to detail.
It may as well be a "luxury" vehicle, it not only looks great but has every amenity you could ever want. Great job!
.

Now, perhaps we should talk about that little slip of the tongue regarding the "it even has room for a car seat" comment.....
between that and Nick's "big surprise" next video on his channel.....hmmmm
🤔
Nahhh....can't possibly...ok nevermind, I'm thinking too much again, disregard previous comment. lol
I'll just keep my mouth shut and look forward to your next video. 😁
Im with Nick, i hate the auto stop start bs
Thanks to you. I'm heading to the dealership to get one
I'm a fan sporty yet functional
Hi 👋 I have a 2020 Blazer RS and I love it’s an awesome car it feels very sporty and sexy, it’s an eye catcher .
I have a 2019 3LT and now issues are starting to occur. First the backing cameras went out and now there is some module that may need replacing in which during startup it doesn't complete the cycle. I have to get a boost off daily to complete it. I love the gas mileage and performance during operation, but it's too early to have issues and I'm not a hard driver on a vehicle.
Welcome to club.!!!!! Video girl is alive....
I’m pretty sure the throttle response is terrible because most vehicles nowadays have drive by wire. Unlike drive by cable, drive by wire uses sensors and signals to open and close the throttle body.
Congrats on the first video
Go to the dealer and complain about the throttle lag. It could lead to a safety hazard like there's an 18 wheeler out of control and is going to T-bone you. That one second of lag could mean the difference between being engulfed in a fireball or arriving home safely. That's another reason to hate start/stop feature. I'm leaning towards a GMC Acadia where you can turn that off.
"My bag of donations." I always have a bag like that in the back of my car too.. bahaha! Great first video Lauren! Also, Nick looks nice with a purse, I know what to get him for his upcoming birthday. 😂
😉😏😏
How is this suv holding up today? Any issues??
Woohoo about time you post your first video!
I know right 😅 only took me 3 years 🤣
@@SUVcentral You know what you're next video should be right?
@@Dooovid1208 driving the 5th gen?😯
Supercharging my Blazer 🤫
@@Dooovid1208 you are on to something here!
Got a V6 lt 2019 Blazer a month ago. Stop/start? .. better to live with it. L driving feels like higher rpm to upshift . Rather buy battery/starter than tranny. Just a good but higher maintenance vehicle.
I like it you soled me on it and I hate new Chevy's that was a 10 out of 10 girl!
Yay!! More vids from Lauren so I get double the dose of the mageddon fam haha
Congratulations nice job!!
Woo-hoo! Thanks for the video
I love the blazer. I’m thinking about one especially the 3.6 l
Over 3k subs before the first video, always wondered how high it would go. Have the exact number as I’m sure you’ve gained a few in the last few hours?
When this was uploaded I had over 3k. Not sure how much I’ve gained since uploading though!
i dont kwow in which part did you mention about the panoramic sunroof?
I suggest that Lauren should change the license plate from "GTR Dude" to "Chevy Chick".
I can be the first dislike for your channel. But you are so cool no one can dislike you 🥺❤️ keep going 😍❤️
Does the AC blow cold?
Good question
Cuz it’s HOT in TeXas
Hi! I noticed you were wirelessly charging your phone and clicked on Apple CarPlay. Does the 2019 Blazer RS have wireless CarPlay?
Great video 🔥
We have a 2023 blazer that’s absolutely garbage oil leaks , electrical night mare going back in. Shop far 4 time with a massive oil leak and they bypassed sensors to turn off warning lights GM at their best
When's the next video
Coming out
How do you turn on the back heated seats? We are looking into getting a Blazer RS AWD. Also was that car play working wirelessly?
Hell yeah !!!!
Nick is even cuter with your purse lol. 🥰
Hello I like your blazer review. I just want to know can the blazer play music from a memory stick? Since there is several USB ports.
That's not a Blazer, It's a glorified Equinox.
The Ford Bronco knocked it out of the park💯🇺🇸💥
The Bronco looks like a Fiat Renegade!
It’s a blazer 🤣 but yes the bronco is sick!!
I'm the totally blind guy that is subscribed to Nick and Mike! Nick sent me to you! Holy crap your Blazer is fast! I'm typing with a screen reader called NVDA
Wow thank you so much for your support!!!
@@SUVcentral Sending you hugs! I wish I could see to drive, then I'd be able to drive that Blazer!
@@kylechellino2579 hugs right back!
@@SUVcentral I'm totally blind as well as hearing impaired from a disease called norries syndrome. I was born blind, but started losing my hearing at age 12, at 19 my hearing got so bad I needed hearing aids, now at 23 gonna be 24 Tuesday, I can no longer hear without my hearing aids. Would you still like to be my friend?
My dream CUV ❤️
Did the 2019 RS not have a defeat switch for the start/stop? I have a 2024 and it has one just below the Start button...
Ok, I saw the dash in the video, no defeat for the start/stop. That would annoy me!
GTR tags on a chevy....Now you you all know in some parts of the country that literally would get you run off the road LOL. Nice ride, awesome 1st vid. How bout some "minor" mods to the blazer, oh i dont know, a huge turbo, or super charger I mean were just talkin minor here right, oh wait that was the camaro
Do your Blazer have an instrument cluster screen that shows a curvy road with a blank white sign on it? what does it mean/do? thanks
Is this the fwd version or the awd one??
Do you still have the blazer?
Sport mode helps with that downshift lag...
Awesome video lauren and we need a video about nick cars
I agree 100% with Nick about the cutoff. I hate that feature.
There’s a button to deactivate the automatic cutoff. It’s to the right of the steering wheel. Looks like an A with a circle around it.
