Trailblazer 4X2 A/T?Sana nga by the end of the year available nayan!
Guys let me remind you, we have an EB this saturday in Tiendesitas all TrailB owners are welcome also those who plan to purchase or has questions... We have a 30-50 parking slot reserved for us there LIKE A BOSS! haha see you there.
also this is for the Trailblazer club of the Philippines if you want to be a member you may register there and pay the fee, I'll be bringing the official trailB club uniform![]()
Okay lang sir marami pa naman dadating na EB, Regarding your choice... kayo po sir manual or matic it's up to you. The price difference is not that big.![]()
Hi Sir, as far as I know, the engine size of the upcoming 4x2 AT variant is 2.8L, same that of 4x4 AT variant as well. This was also confirmed by one of the higher officials from TCCCI mismo and same goes with the confirmation from one of the dealers here in Metro Manila. Nagtataka lang ako bakit 2.5L ang sinabi po sa inyo ng Chevy Alabang. BTW, the price is at 1,448,888.00 and fabric seats sya. Will reserve the unit soon para sa December ready na kami magparelease ng unit at siguro that time eh may allocated na rin sa amin dhil alam ko may mga nakapila na sa bawat dealers ng Chevy most esp in Metro Manila areas. Thanks po and HTH.
Sorry for the late upload guys:

Hi sir! Maybe Alabang has the wrong info. Maybe their SAs just assume that a 4x2 AT variant automatically has a lower engine displacement than 4x4 variants with bigger engine displacements just like the Everest and Fortuner.
I can proudly say that the 4x2 AT variant has the 2.8L engine of the LTZ variant. This is what I have been keeping these past months. Same power and torque ratings. Also, at first, you'll feel bitin with the published power and torque ratings on paper, but once you've "stretched it legs" a few times, you'll feel it. I have driven a VGT Montero before. The TrailB is more powerful and torquey in real world. But still, the 3.0 engine of the Fortuner has that instantaneous power delivery, but maxes out once you reach above 100 kph unlike the TrailB which goes on and on and on.![]()
hi numbah & djhao,
this is good news...
meron na bang news kung kelan lalabas ang 4x2 at?
bukod sa fabric seats, ano pa kaya ang na downgrade na spec?
sana same ang tire size, projector lamp, & safety features on brake system 8-) ...
So far, what TCCCI-Chevrolet Philippines has confirmed to me and to one of my fellow TBCPh officer is the 2.8L Duramax Diesel engine pa lang. There is no decision yet as to what variant they will bring here. It's either the LT (will have the same features as the 2.5 4x2 MT LT variant) or the LTZ (same features as the 2.8 4x4 AT LTZ variant minus the 4x4). Nothing's final yet but 2 things are sure. It will be powered by the 2.8L Duramax Diesel engine and the SRP will be between the SRPs of the current LT and LTZ variants.
Supply is constant. Ofcourse since the unit isn't available yet in the market you still have to queue for it but once it's available na, you can get it agad. The advantage of queuing up ngayon is getting a unit agad once it's available for sale.
All our new members who got their LTZ units recently waited only for 1-2 weeks.
Breaking news! GM has upgraded the 2.5L and 2.8L Duramax Diesel engine and retuned the 6 speed A/T! They changed some of the internals of the engines also. Because of the upgraded engines and retuned transmission, the 2.5L engine can now be had with an automatic transmission. The new power and torque figures are the following:
2.5L 150 ps and 350 Nm (old), 163 ps and 380 Nm (new)
2.8L 180 ps and 470 Nm (old), 200 ps and 500 Nm (new)

How can one determine if it is the new and improved engine is the one installed? May mga physical differences kaya?
mukhang mas magandang maghintay hintay para yun new engine na ang makuha.
sana mid next yr lumabas na
TCCCI-Chevrolet PH will be announcing the arrival of the Colorado and Trailblazer with the upgraded engines through their Facebook page and through print advertisements like in the daily broadsheets and outdoor billboards. Just like how they announce the arrival of the Spin. Also, check out the webpages of autoindustriya and Top Gear PH. They will also announce it there. No physical differences as far as I've seen the pics. Panay internals ang pinalitan.
My timetable for its arrival here in the Philippines might be during the Manila International Auto Show.
