2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

Yes, leather seats na ang LTZ 4x4 variant.

[albert_b]

So far everyone who's bought one is very satisfied. Si *RTS nadali lang ng very shady balintawak branch but putting that asside happy din naman siya daw. Si *steer and *novice are also (obviously) super satisfied Ü. That should be a factor in deciding whether to get the TBZ LTZ or the Fort 3.0

Hi Guys, back to normal again
Spent the holiday w/ my TBLZR going to Sibul Spring San Mig. Bulacan, from Kalookan to there w/ 4 adults & truck load of flowers.
The driving was superb & with ease specially overtaking trikes, smooth with out the noise of strada (3.2) kaya akala ng mrs. ko mas maliksi at mabilis ang strada.Marami ng gasgas yung aft bumper, top side siguro noong paglalagay at pagkuha ng mga bulaklak. I think yung dapat malagayan ng protector shield covers, plus yung ilalim ng bumper just after the wheel, tumatama ang talsik ng gulong. I bought one roll 3M yung panglagay sa banyo as anti slip, dinikitan ko yung ilalim ng bumper , since it is transparent it blend with the color of the unit.

I spoke with the Technical dept. of Chevy to clarify the PMS requirement, sabi nila every 5000 km or 3 months which ever come first and change oil while in the forum every 10,000 km, ano kaya and dapat sundin.?

Thanks RTS

hmmm.. wondering why there is that term "a special 10,000 kms PMS". Di kaya meron catch yang 10t KMS PMS Schedule nila na yan? do i smell another "HARI" ng sablay in terms of PMS schedule in the making here. Ganyan kasi sa HARI, it's 5t kms or 3 mos whichever comes first, or you loose the warranty. Then you need to purchase all the parts from the CASA or you loose the warranty. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk!

I think it is for our benefit to have a clear & solid statement from Chevy Philippines or any authorize representatives of what is the real score of TBLZR PMS is it 5,000 KM or 10,000 KM, kasi sa posted ni Sir numba_5 na remarks is a sort of vague. Try to call your Chevy dealers & kindly inquire of what are their interpretation. From my dealers Chevy Norh Edsa, they confirmed that it is 5,000 KM or 3 months.

I think we have to clarify this directly with their head office. I hear *numbah5 is doing that right now.

[albert_b]

Hmmm sa news release nila 10k daw eh. I guess we need another opinion

We don't need another opinion kung sa mismong website ng Chevy Philippines nanggaling ang statement.

The All- New Chevrolet Trailblazer

The All- New Chevrolet Trailblazer gets ready to blaze the Philippine roads with a trail of massive power and appeal

Good things come to those who wait – and those holding out for the best SUV this October 2012 will get all that they ask for and more, the 7-seater diesel engine midsize SUV Chevrolet Trailblazer shall enter the local market with introductory price of P1,368,888

The exclusive importer and distributor of Chevrolet automobiles and parts in the Philippines, The Covenant Car Company Inc. (TCCCI), picks up on the their commitment of launching only the best products as it gets ready to unveil the newest addition to its roster – the All-New Chevrolet Trailblazer, 7-seater Diesel engine SUV.

Just imagine an SUV that comes complete with all the details that make Chevrolet automobiles some of the most sought after, award-winning vehicles in the world. At its core, it means having both Trailblazer variants outfitted with the latest technology of Duramax engines plus VGT CRDI. The Trailblazer 2.8L, 6-speed A/T guarantees a refined ride at a maximum power of 180HP and 470Nm of torque, while the 2.5L, 5-speed M/T offers up a steady horse power of 150 and 350Nm of torque that makes it just as efficient in handling any task that is asked of it – may it be on or off road or just about anything in between. Topping that list are above par SUV functions like Dynamic Brake Distribution, Anti-lock Brake System, Traction Control, Panic Brake Assist, Cornering Brake Control, Hill Descent, and Electronic Stability Control, for starters.

The Trailblazer’s ability to go tough is demonstrated by the go-anywhere capabilities that have been incorporated into its features, amenities as well as design. A fully boxed reinforced frame for toughness; 800mm wading capability that gives you confidence to go further; the high stance suspension that evokes street cred; the electronic shift mode that works on the fly to shift from 4x4 to 4x2, the 3000kg towing capacity that encourages you to go beyond the usual; and the 8-crossmember ladder configuration that ensures every ride and drive is fun, smooth and comfortable sees this SUV through a multitude of scenarios with the family and friends without a hitch. The Trailblazer’s readiness to serve your every need – whether in towing heavy loads, hauling the whole family comfortably on long trips or getting through flooded and often treacherous roads, and gives anyone behind the wheel the confidence in being able to do the extras conveniently while in style. As Chevrolet Philippines’ President and Managing Director, Atty. Albert Arcilla, shared “The All-New Chevrolet Trailblazer is a midsize sports utility vehicle made for families who want power, capability, refinement and comfort. While the vehicle stance is undeniably stalwart, the new Trailblazer is also unmistakably refined with an upscale presence inside and out, outstanding ride/handling characteristics, and exceptional fuel efficiency. We believe that this vehicle is Chevrolet’s SUV heritage and performance taken to a whole new level”

Like its pickup sibling - The Chevrolet Colorado, the All- New Chevrolet Trailblazer was exclusively designed, engineered, executed, and validated at GM do Brasil in Sao Paulo using GM’s global vehicle development processes – it is the second of a series of midsize truck offerings being developed by the Brazilian design and engineering operation.

With the trailblazer, comfort, durability and style coexist! The details tell a success story through the 5-link rear suspension system with low NVH (noise, vibration and harshness) levels which promotes car-like handling and excellent ride comfort, leather-wrapped 7-seater for adult-sized occupants for an outstanding ride comfort and an air of elegance with multi-configurable seat options depending on cargo. Plus! The Trailblazer sports a pair of projector headlamp / LED tail lamp for energy saving and safety functions that double as another design feature to add to the full-sized SUV stance and are accentuated with powerdome hood design and signature dual-port grille that evokes ruggedness yet maintains its attractiveness in any angle. The 18-inch rims that command road presence, the flush-mounted roofrails for more cargo options, as well as an audio system that comes with steering-mounted controls and full-digital connectivity (USB, AUX and Bluetooth) for personalized sound-tripping whenever the mood strikes are just some of the amenities that encourages you to enjoy life beyond the expected.

The team behind Chevrolet Philippines believes that this SUV is definitely worth the wait, especially to those who are looking to enjoy the many benefits of a world-class vehicle for a longer period of time. Introductory prices starts at P1,368,888 for the 4x2 manual transmission and P 1,718,888 for the 4x4 Automatic transmission. The package is bundled with a special 5-year warranty, 24/7 roadside assistance, the services of a dedicated 24/7 CHEVY hotline facility and a special 10,000 km PMS interval -- all in the name of providing the owner peace of mind and easy maintenance. The Trailblazers are set to blaze into town by mid-October so learn more about it by logging on to www.chevrolet.com.ph, add us on Facebook: Chevrolet Philipines or call the Chevy hotline at 846CHEV / 8462438 to know more reasons why you should wait or secure your reservations today!

*yourman_2nd, let's just wait. Speculating would not help.

[novice12]

I agree with albert lets not speculate. I also got an SMS from my SA at Chevy Otis, first PMS is at 10,000km or 6 months whichever comes earlier.

[RTS]

I was able to retrieved from the casa the HU OEM, pinag palitan ng presently installed( TV,DVD, etc.etc.)Fujitsu pala ang brand, any one interested ? Im selling it for P 3.5 K makabawibawi mang lang ng kaunti, Last wed. I went to Banawe pinalagyan ko na rin ng back up camera (p 3.5K) at pinalitan ng busina bosch yung maliit lang, mahal yung malaki eh. So ang problema na lang yung parang lamesa na extender sa baggage compartment para level ng 3rd row seat. It is the portion na always calling my attention ( eye sore).

*RTS, I am looking for that storage bin din sa likod eh. I found one sa thailand, here's the picture:


Product Name: Rear Storage Luggage Box
Product Code: 52032165

Maybe we can do a batch order? I'm not sure of the price though or how to make the order.

[numbah5]

We have 2 options for the PMS schedule. One is the 5,000 km or 4 months whichever comes first and the other is the 10,000 kms or 6 months whichever comes first. The latter option is recommended if we are using fully synthetic oil. The former option is we are using mineral oil. And no warranty voiding if lumampas ng 1-2 months sa recommended schedule and depending sa mga dealers, may corkage fee of 5-10% pag own oil. Meron ding dealers na walang corkage fee. And our warranty will not be voided if we use our own oil. Galing na yan sa TCCCI.

BTW, the oil that should be used should have an API Rating of CI-4 or CJ-4 or later. Bawal ang CF. Galing din sa TCCCI yan.

[RTS]

Yan ang tamang tama sana, pag pinadaan natin sa casa magiging 3 fold ang halaga, I wonder if carryboy can fabricate ng ganyan, mag hintay hintay na lang tayo dyan sa banawe magkaka meron din sila kasi yung garnish sa headlight at rear meroon na sila.

Sa Goldcar Banawe ko dinal, when they installed the back up camera, the camera is drill type pero naka tago sa plate nbr area. There is a guy sa shop na iyan ,expert sa pag pagana ng wheel control, lahat ay napagana nya, where chevy tech. can't fix sa screen control lang daw, nagalit nga ako dahil they condemed it without my blessing. Sa mentioned kung shop napagana nila lahat. Do it discretley , bahala ka na mag-tip doon sa guy. I forget the name but sya ang gumagawa sa HU 9 little chubby ,not tall ).
