2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

[roachy]

Buti pa mga regular members ng club nauna pa sa aming 2 dalawang officers ni * Executive Vice President albert_b. The nominations for AVP for Northern Luzon, Southern Luzon will be open kapag nagkaroon na ng mga owners na taga roon. AVP for Visayas, well isa pa lang meron so it's automatically *go_gerry. AVP for Mindanao, meron na rin so it would be *johnP.

Nominations for the vacant positions of Secretary, Treasurer, Auditor, PR and Marketing are now open. Exempted na si *steer and *RTS sa nominations. RTS is the Godfather of the club, while steer begged off. Pwede kahit future owner (EQAddict, ano727). Si roachy pwede kayang maging muse? To give you guys an idea who to nominate, here are the list of current owners:

Muse? Hahaha! Do I a-muse you? (corny LOL). Admirer lang ako. It will take time before I get a TBZ since I got a different vehicle na. Will wait for the 4x2.

Tomorrow, I'll be asking our dealer kung kelan ba talaga exactly darating. And yung mga nasa port, no relation whatsoever sa mode of payment kung ano ang mga ilalabas nilang units. What dealer yung nagtext sa inyo?

Did you get update or feedback from your dealer regarding your unit? If not, you might want to talk to other dealers.

Mine is arriving this week according to my dealer and TCCCI. Swerte lang talaga na may mga dumating na white

Wow! anong dealership iyan?

You may get one soon when the 2.8 4x2 automatic arrive early. This is the same variant advertised in advance in Australia. Mas mabuti pa tayo kaysa Australians they are still waiting for the TBZ to arrive. Will there be a 2.5 4x2 automatic? To make it 4 variants here?

Malapit nang dumating ang 4x2 A/T variant. Start your countdown sa mismong Christmas. It will be using the 2.8 engine of the LTZ 4x4 variant.

Hindi na raw magkakaroon ng 2.5 4x2 A/T variant. Mas ok na yung ilalabas na 4x2 A/T variant since 2.8 ang engine nun.

The difference between 2.8 4x4 & 2.8 4x2 would be:
1. four wheel drive option
2. electronic climate control
3. 8 speakers instead of 6 in the 4x2
4. leather seats vs fabric
5. Chrome door handles vs body color
6. chrome exterior side mirror with power folding vs body color and no power folding
7. 18" alloy wheels vs 16" alloy wheels

Minimal difference and easy to upgrade here. What we do not know is the price.

It would be a steal if TCCCI prices the 2.8 LT 4x2 A/T at 1.450-1.5M pesos. What I'm hoping for is that the minor facelift next year would include the following:
1. Auto leveling HID headlights (2.8 LTZ 4x4 A/T)
2. Projector headlights for all variants
3. LED tail lights for all variants
4. Headlight washers (2.8 LTZ 4x4 A/T)
5. 2.5 LT 4x2 M/T will be changed into the LS variant
6. Steering audio control and cruise control for the 2.8 LT 4x2 A/T
7. Auto climate.control for the 2.8 LT 4x2 A/T
8. DVD/GPS headunit for all variants
9. Stability and Traction Control for the 2.8 variants (LTZ 4x4 and LT 4x2)

Comparing your Chevy Trailblazer 2.8 Duramax A/T to the other SUVs/ CUVs of the other brands in terms of achieving very good speed yet relax as a baby in a cradle, is like as follows:

Mitsubishi Monterosport 2.5 GT-V A/T (174 hp, 350 Nm)
102.2 kph at 2000 rpm

Mitsubishi Pajero 3.2 Di-D A/T (165 hp, 363 Nm)
102.2 kph at 2000 rpm

Toyota Fortuner 3.0 D-4D A/T A/T (163 hp, 343 Nm)
111.4 kph at 2000 rpm

Hyundai Santa Fe 2.2 R-eVGT A/T (197 hp, 437 Nm)
113.3 kph at 2000 rpm

Hyundai Tucson 2.0 R-eVGT A/T (177 hp, 392 Nm)
113.2 kph at 2000 rpm

Chevrolet Trailblazer 2.8 Duramax A/T (180 hp, 470 Nm)
123.3 kph at 2000 rpm (on 245/70/R16 tyres)
127.5 kph at 2000 rpm (on 265/60/R18 tyres)

Also, word has it that the Trailblazer 2.5 Duramax M/T is running also around the 120's at 2000 rpm....

Seems like better fuel-mileage can be achieved from the two TB's, especially in long open-highway drives, compared to their contemporaries.

Cheers!
