Great car... but had to trade in!

That's right - I ended up trading it in. A little painful - it was 2020 2LT Gray V6 (not on option when choosing the trim on Edmunds), with Redline Edition accents. I got a lot of compliments around town, it was sexy. I'm only 5'6, wife is 5'4, with one 6 year old, and we had plenty of space inside. More than you can tell from the outside. The car drove smooth, and the V6 punched from red lights and zoomed past slow-pokes on the highway. It was a fun car to drive. The 20inch wheels did enhance bumps, and cabin could get a little noisy. The visibility was so-so, although not a huge deal (my previous vehicle was a Tacoma, and I had no issues with visibility there). The larger front end probably played a role in that. I’ll also say that after being in the car for awhile, the seats became a little uncomfortable to sit in for me. But my issue was the ton of cheap plastics on the inside. It's put together nicely, but Chevy needs to put better materials in (cost savings probably)... Not sure if it was a huge issue for other commenters, but mine rattled a lot, especially on the highway. After taking it into Chevy numerous times to get the dash and A pillars adjusted and checked for loose parts, nothing got fixed. Nothing! It was sort of embarrassing to drive something that nice on the outside that sounded like an aged Kia from the inside. Further, my CPO limited warranty expired, so if I wanted to have them gut the inside and rebuild, it was on my dime. I admittedly should have done a better job with making sure my warranty was solid, but I didn’t expect a 9k miles vehicle to give to many issues with quality. But I also came across some people with the same ‘cheap plastics’ complaint on different reviews and forums… so there’s that. Luckily for me, due to Covid, the value went up quite a bit on used cars after my purchase a year prior, so I actually gained a little bit of equity (crazy times huh?)... and I traded it in for a brand new Honda Passport. Not quite as fast, but a smooth, powerful, and quiet ride. Way nicer materials on the inside, it just feels more solid and better built in the interior. And the seats feel very comfortable. Great people space, even better cargo space. I’m having a 2nd child soon, so the extra space is appreciated. Furthermore, QUALITY is important and it feels like Honda put in more thought into this vehicle. When you're spending $30-$40 THOUSAND on a vehicle, it should feel like it was worth the "investment" (yes, I know vehicles are far from an investment). I still miss the Blazer, but like the crazy, gorgeous ex-girlfriend with temperamental issues, sometimes it's better to get something more reliable that you'd be proud to bring home to mom, even if it’s just a little boring. LOL.

Don't bother with the low end models.

The wimpy 1500 lb towing capacity means that the transmission might give up and quit soon after the warranty period is up. The top models feature a 4500 lb towing capacity which means better cooling apparatus on the transmission so it should last much longer. By contrast the entry level Nissan Pathfinder can tow 6000 lbs with it's CVT transmission. It's not just about pulling boats or campers. It's about investing in a vehicle that could last for 500k miles and get handed down to your kids. But make sure you always take any Nissan only to the dealer for transmission service. CVT transmissions require special fluid and many shops end up adding regular transmission fluid resulting in premature failure after a few days of driving. If you mainly lease your vehicles for shorter periods of time and are getting into the Chevy Blazer mostly for it's drop dead GORGEOUS looks, then the life of it's tranny might be of lower concern. However if you do opt for the entry level model with long term ownership in mind, beyond 100k miles: consider your extended warranty options. Transmission replacements cost thousands.
Blazer AWD Premier is a great ride

I bought my 2020 Blazer new. And it’s now 2021 and my brakes are not working. I’ve had it in the shop 3 times and 2 different dealers and they can’t find a problem with it. They stop but when at a red light or stop sign my brakes go down. And you have to let off them and push again. Which is not a big deal but when you pay so much for a vehicle you expect it to be good. Also, still under warranty and still owe on it so would love to have this issue fixed. Love love love it other than this problem!
