    Will get our unit today sa Chevy Shaw.. Oceanic Blue 2.5 MT nakuha namin


    anyway, masyado ba narrow ang gulong na stock? 245/70?

    Everyday NLEX ang daan ko kasi, im afraid baka mababa rolling resistance pag narrow ang gulong. Thanks!

    Fellow Trailblazer owners, want to have an EB this Sunday at the Manila International Auto Show? albert_b and I are going. This is a good opportunity for those that we haven't met yet so that we would know each other.

    Congratulations on your new ride sir! Excellent choice :-) Register ka dito sa list na 'to sir (here)

    Ako I'm looking at replacing my LT's puny stock rims and tires. Pangit kasi stance niya. If you replace yours sir, mas maganda kung wider siya.

    i am just a new member. i just want to share our experience. in the first week of feb, we decided to reserve for a trailb in north edsa since the SA told us that there will be a unit available the week after and we just need to reserve. anyway, we paid for the reservation thinking we will be getting our unit (4x2 MT) the following week. However, after 3 days, our SA called and inform us that there were having a problem with the thai plant, hence, we could only get the unit through in house financing. that time, we are already processing our application for bank PO. so, to our dismay, the SA told us that we have to wait until June or July to get our unit if we will be getting the unit through bank financing. so the following week, we went to qc ave and otis to inquire, chevy qc ave accepts bank PO but then the color only available that time was the color blue (and we're not really into that color). meanwhile, otis has only white at that time (and we're not really into that color either). actually, our first choice color is the auburn brown and second is the royal. both dealers told us to wait until may or june. otis branch encourage us to also make a reservation but we told them our experience with north edsa and told them that we are hesitant about it and if they cannot reserve unit for us without giving a reservation fee, then we cannot do anything about it. to make a long story, by our frustration in finding the right dealer for us, we went kia (next option). we were able to test drive a sorento (2.2 AT 4x2). the drive was smooth and we like the engine (as if you are drivng a gas car and not a diesel). it is very quiet. we almost instantly fell in love for sorento. however, during the holyweek, we decided to inquire again to other chevy dealers and last black saturday, we called upon several dealers like greenhills, pasig, but they were close. our last option is chevy commonwealth. to our surprise, there was SA at that time. we immediately went there and inquired about the trailb. to our suprise, there is an available unit 4x2 but not auburn brown but royal gray. since, it was our next color of choice, we immediately told the SA that we will be getting it but we will not be paying any reservation fee (i told her our horror story about north edsa) and she agreed and told us to immediately process our PO. she did not ask for anything. so, immediately last monday, we went to the bank and confirm our application. to make the long story short, we will be getting our new baby this afternoon. i will update you all and hopefully post some pix.

    if you are looking for any dealer without any hassle, try chevy commonwealth, look for ms herry silva and tell her that we are the couple who just purchased the royal gray (4x2 MT) last saturday and will be getting it today. she is very approachable and will not pressure you...

    excited for our new ride...
    Congratualtions sir! Merong isang thread (here) where you can register your ride din. Post ka pics! Dumadami na tayong naka Royalty Gray! ;-)

    Ms. Audrey yan ang inaabangan nila albert_b! Stock rims and tires I think will cost around 80k. For black rhino wheels doon sa Wheels Gallery Santolan Road or sa Dub Unlimited West Avenue or sa BCC Chrome Wheels City Banawe.

    For off road tires, Nitto Terra Grappler or Mickey Thompson Baja ATZ Radial Plus or Cooper Discoverer A/T3 or BFGoodrich All Terrain T/A KO mga ok. Nitto Terra Grappler is readily available sa Wheels Gallery, Dub Unlimited at BCC Chrome Wheels City. Yung Mickey Thompson sa Auto Options Timog in front of Razon's. Cooper and BFGoodrich naman is at Ryco Inc. located at 117 Aguirre Street, Legazpi Village, Makati.

    Get the 18s. Mas macho tignan kesa 20s and more comfortable in terms of tagtag. The tires I mentioned with the exception of Mickey Thompson has the exact size of the stock Bridgestone Dueler H/T tires (265/65 R18).

I will be returning my unit para icheck nila lahat sa ilalim. So any upgrades on the shoes is a NO NO for me. Hopefully you guys don't experience any troubles like this.

Most of the judges felt that the gas engine of the Monty is more refined than the Trailblazer's diesel engine (duh!). And the biggest handicap of the TrailB was the price. Well duh again! The variant sent was the top of the line LTZ, while the Monty had the mid range GLS. No brainer na yun. Some of the judges also didn't like the plastic interior of the TrailB and they felt that the 3rd row is more cramped than the Monty. On the latter I don't agree because the Monty's 3rd row feels more claustrophobic. niky said that he finds the interior of the TrailB good enough. Tapos another criteria are the features. Dito sa aspect na ito ako nagtataka. How will the judges rate the Monty higher if it doesn't have 6 speed A/T, Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, Electronic Stability and Traction Control, which the TrailB LTZ has? Dyan lang ako nagtataka

    I won't! We can't get out of the traditional 3 (Toyota, Mitsubishi ans Honda) and no American car will ever win...

    Nagtataka ka pa? These guys have Monteros!!! As long as we love our Trails, we are the new KIngs!

    Kaya nga kapag may nadadaanan akong Montero, I always tell myself, panis yan at kakain ng alikabok saken! Hahaha
