Welp, the 2019 Chevy Blazer dropped today...

Nope. I think they should stop making new vehicles all together. Just parts. If you don’t have the skills to build some shit you can walk. Haha!
 
It sounds like everything built at the Detroit-Hamtramck plant.
Well yeah, they are closing plants. And whatever models are built there. I think the CT6 is just casualty. Sales numbers aren't great and it's built there. The cost of retooling to a different build location isn't worth it so. Bye bye.

who will start making lift kits for the new blazer?

will come standard with a 193-horsepower, 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine try putting some 35in tires on that.
Umm... now this is in no way me defending that ugly abortion that Chevy unveiled. But, didn’t our stump pulling 350s only make 160hp when new, in rigs that weigh 5,000+ pounds???
 
Horsepower Schmorsepower. What is the torque at 2000 RPM on a smog 350 vs. the new 4-banger?
 
I don’t agree the 3.6 is junk whatsoever. I think it’s been a great engine for them. I’ve never seen one need a timing chain at 30k, 80-100k maybe if they aren’t maintained properly. I’ve also never seen a cracked block in one or even heard of that and I work on them everyday.
I own one in me 2102 Enclave with almost 75k on the clock.. I have been warned about the timing chain deal and having to drop the entire engine out the bottom to service it.. Last quote i heard was just a tad short of 5K.. That's troubling.

2102? You bring that back with you in the DeLorean?
 

Ok, a number of things:

1 - I am LGBT. That may lose me some of my friends on here, but hey, you have a gay guy who knows how to weld, fabricate, and build GM square bodies. Take that how you want. I'm 30 and still have my first car: an 84 K10 with a ZZ4, SM465, SF14bolt, 8-lug 10-bolt, no lift, and custom gauge cluster. I wheel this every summer in Colorado, have done Wheeler Lake, Red Cone, and Jenny Creek without taking a single strap (no pun intended...get it?). I HATE wheeling an automatic and refuse to convert to hydraulic clutch...Z-BAR FOR LIFE. Hopefully that's enough to prove my manliness, haha.

2 - I see the new Blazer as a replacement for the S10, not the full-size. As a replacement for the S10 it's not full-frame, but I can still respect its styling. It's an awesome looking SUV. Let's face it, though the original square-body S10's where bad-ass, they were never amazing. They were always IFS, once had a 2.8l gutless v6, and rusted as bad as Toyotas. However, the new Blazer is no different than the Acadia or Traverse.

3 - it is what it is. The market will never go back to full-frame vehicles. They just don't sell...we're the only market for full-frame. Granted, I HATE the new Cherokee, even though they have always been unibody. This is just competition for the new Cherokee, Explorer, and Pathfinder.

4 - I take no offense to gif to which I responded. Just felt like it was a good "in" to prove we're not all fairies ;-)

Let's see how this turns out :burnout:

Like you I too believe the new, "blazer" is a perfect specimen to drive long distances in while listening to Rod Stewart solo career album's.

Didn’t mean to step on any toes. Don’t care what race, color or orientation you, I try to treat all the same. Just a figure of speech I grew with when everyone wasn’t so easily offended. Hopefully no hard feelings. I was trying to say that the General blew it ... ah crap! I think I did it again. :doah: I’ll just crawl under the nearest rock.
And I highly doubt you’ll lose any friends on here, that’s not like us.

Hope you have thick skin, this is meant to be teasing so don't be offended, well if you are........
How can you be LGBT, so you are a Lesbian, who is Gay, and is also Bisexual, and a Tranvestite ? So you are a guy who dresses like a girl who like men yet also like girls unless your are dressed like a man then you like men, but then you also like girls also.. but then you like wheeling in Colorado which explains everything.

You’d have to be thick skinned to be all those people wrapped into one, four layers to be exact. :rotfl:
