Newswheel Rolls out the Scoop on Potential Chevy Trailblazer Revival

The revamping of the classic Blazer nameplate has brought many consumers to a high-rising excitement level: one of America's all-time favorite vehicles perfect for conquering and exploring the wild is being brought back with just a bit more prowess in the crossover SUV category. There are many rumors afloat that Chevy is in the process of the same revival for another one of our very historic vehicles: The Trailblazer. During an important presentation attended by investors earlier this month, Chevy showcased a new crossover vehicle that was partially covered by dark shadows. Motor Trend obtained a copy and shared it broadly over social media.

Appearing at first glance smaller than the current Blazer, there is definitely a lot that makes perfect sense about the Trailblazer coming back to the lineup. The very first version of the Trailblazer started out as a more upscale trim of the K6, before eventually becoming its own midsize SUV model. The Trailblazer is still available in Thailand and Brazil, and happened to be discontinued in the States around 2009. This potentially new and still shrouded-in-mystery model would likely be situated just in between the Equinox and the Trax, and be just the perfect size and stature for a burgeoning business, or new family constantly on the go.

The very first generation of the Trailblazer introduced in 2002 was based on a truck platform known as GMT360, with all models possessing 4-wheel-drive type layout as an option, except for the SS model, which features an all-wheel-drive system. It also rallied over challenges from shocks with an independent front suspension, and a five-link rear suspension. Proudly winning the North American Truck of the Year award in 2002, the 4.2-liter engine sported variable valve timing on the exhaust camshaft, and GM's lost-foam casting process. On current Trailblazer models in Asia and Brazil, the 2.8-Liter turbodiesel engine has a new water-cooled variable-geometry turbocharger, high-pressure common-rial fuel delivery system, new cylinder head, and a new Engine Control Module.

The potential Trailblazer's steadfast competition will no doubt be the likes of the Ford Edge, Nissan Murano, and vehicle within this size and functionality that is soon-to-be-planned by Honda. As families right here in Knoxville on the go are searching for the new model that will meet their needs, It is no doubt that an amazingly equipped and fully-loaded truck such as the Silverado would have at least once crossed their minds. But there are the specified niche consumers out there who like the taut driving feel that only an SUV can offer, and the sense that you are bringing those along for the ride to enjoy it just a bit more without the pressures of hauling or towing defining your drive.
