2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

[pop3corn]

if you base it now between Ranger vs Colorado, Ranger wins.

so if that trend continues, new Everest crashes Trailblazer.

the only question is, when would the new Everest come to the Philippines.

last time I spoke with Ford, they said that it won't be anytime soon due to current overstock of old Everest.

Mganda ba yun harap Ng ranger mas maganda pa yun sa Colorado ah so malamang mas pangit ang haraoan nd future Everest sa trailblazer

Questions:

1. yung last row of seats front folding ba siya o side folding?

2. How much ang comprehensive insurance (with AOG) ng Trailblazer? required ba ng dealers na sa kanila ang insurance o pwede sa labas? Any recommended insurance company?

Thanks!

The new Trailblazer is made in Thailand just like the Fortuner, Everest, Montero Sport etc.
It has no relation to the old North American made Trailblazer.

kaya the more reason to be careful, those high end specs like hill assist park assist are American ekek na pinakabit sa Thai-made SUVs na obviously kaya naman talaga sa Thailang ginawa eh kse nga those specs won't pass with the Americans tapos ganyan ka cheap price.

The North American version of this is manufactured in brazil for the developing nations in that region

1. It folds flat into the floor like the Montero Sport.

2. Same as the Fortuner and Montero Sport, around 31-35k with AOG. I suggest getting Pioneer, PNB Gen. Or Prudential.

...yung last row of seats front folding ba siya o side folding?...

Got this sa web, it looks like this sir

[albert_b]

Looking at the cut-away picture above ... sana winterpine can bring in yung false flooring dun sa dulo ng seats (between third row and trunk lid).

Saang dealer yan sir? Try mo sa EDSA-GH or sa Otis. Sa Otis sabi sa akin ang pila nila is white na 4x4. Pero may other colors sila na available, kausap ko dun sa Adon. Sa EDSA-GH naman si Mike.

Thanks, I have inquired you mentioned branches, pareho ang sagot nila "maybe end of this month", I guess I'll just wait for the precise moment, thanks.

*Doc jayvee, pwede rin 18s if offroad look ang habol ni steer. In our case, rims (hopefully) and HU upgrade lang gagawin namin muna. Tires can be upgraded in the future. May plan ka rin ba bumili ng Trailblazer doc?

*numbah5, just browsing for next car options for my dad. hehe. actually waiting for the 3.2 wildtrak 6at.

*steer, based on the chevy thailand website, the 18s are sized 265/60/18. there is a significant difference between the 16s and 18s when it comes to overall diameter of the tire (16s-29.50 in, 18s-30.51 in). this accounts for the difference in ride height. if you use 265/50/20 tires the overall diameter would be 30.43 in, close to the 18s na.

With the mentioned tire size using 20s, you can take your car anywhere pa din. Hindi siya low profile. cornering will be better because of the shorter sidewall. Tire price halos the same. More tire choices and easier to source 20s compared to 18s.

thanks!

mas guwapito pa sana with bigger wheels and tires.

should i go for 18" or 22"?

nagaalangan lang ako baka ma void 5 year warranty.

18" is a good compromise kung ihataw mo yan sa province, 20" is also good. Patay ka sa 22" kabog dibdib mo nyan sa lubak.

Still lovin' your Monty doc? Me, I still am lovin' my Monty. Pag dumating na ang Trail namin, dalawa na silang love ko. Maybe MSCP and the future Trailblazer club can have a joint EB in the future?

kaya the more reason to be careful, those high end specs like hill assist park assist are American ekek na pinakabit sa Thai-made SUVs na obviously kaya naman talaga sa Thailang ginawa eh kse nga those specs won't pass with the Americans tapos ganyan ka cheap price.

The North American version of this is manufactured in brazil for the developing nations in that region

The new Trailblazer was not developed in North America because the market there for compact trucks and compact/mid-size truck-based SUVs is shrinking (people there are moving to lighter crossover SUVs or CUVs).

Those safety features are also found on european cars & SUVs.

PS: The Colorado (from which the Trailblazer is based on) got a 5-star ANCAP rating

* "ANCAP (Australasian New Car Assessment Program) began testing and assessing vehicles in accordance with the Euro NCAP protocols during 1999."

The Ford Ranger got a 5-star EuroNCAP rating

*AG4, let's wait for OB's rebuttal on your post.

Eh? I don't get it. Aren't traction control, electronic stability, hillstart assist, etc. exactly the features that Americans want? Explorer has those...

When Explorer came in at P2.5M with those features, a lot of buyers were pretty happy. I'd imagine that a diesel SUV with all of those features at P1.7M would make even more people happy...more features for less money.

I don't think there's North American version of Trailblazer, they have the Traverse in that class. But definitely in Central and South America, the Trailblazer will be sold.

True. That's because in North America, the demand for this type of vehicle is going down, they now prefer crossover SUVs/ CUVs.

Ang laki neto sa Montero. Sa Montero na nga nalalakihan na ako nun-drive ko eh, tas mabigat din ibyahe sa tagaytay though di naman simbigat nun parusa ko na strada 2nd gen. Tsk tsk, pang-driver car eto.

I parked my friend's side by side with my SF, liit SF mas lapad lang. Pero nun pi-nark ko na yun Montero ng friend ko after overnight tagaytay trip at pinaandar ko na SF ko, wow sobrang gaan ng SF.
