2012 Chevrolet Trailblazer

[Walter]

sa totoo lang, wala akong idea kung paano matangal or e lower or mananakaw yun spare tire.

nakita ko lang na puro may extra chain lock yun mga vehicles na nasa ilalim yun spare tire, kaya bumili na din ako.

If you deflate the spare tire, it's possible to loosen the holder and remove the tire.

[albert_b]

Yup, I heard that technique also. Kaya important na masecure yung spare

Gaano kadalas ka nagpapalit ng auto?

Every 3 years? 5 years? 8 years? 10 years?

First Ride kaya most likely.. 5-8 years siguro..

ung Fortuner may coming ba na improvements / release?

Next year they might add the 5 A/T.

The problem with Fortuner is "Bagong Luma" ang new ride mo

For me TBZ or BLAZE (para 1 syllable lang)

Yung Fortuner sa 2014 or 2015 pa ang all new talaga. Improvements for MY2013 will be a more powerful 3.0 D-4D engine, from 163 ps and 343 Nm of torque to 171 ps and 360 Nm of torque. Possible din na lagyan ng VSC (Vehicle Stability Control), TCS (Traction Control System) at BA (Brake Assist) ang 3.0V 4x4. Magiging 5 speed A/T na rin. Sa 4x2 naman, 5 speed A/T lang ang improvement. So expect a steep price increase of 20k (2.5G 4x2) and 50k (3.0V 4x4) next year for the Fortuner.

Sa Trailblazer naman, what I'm expecting for next year are the DVD/GPS HU, reverse camera, auto leveling HID headlamps and headlamp washers (first 2 features might become standard for all variants, the last 2 might be for the LTZ variant only). And the introduction of the 2.8LT 4x2 A/T variant. So expect another price increase of around 30k (LT 4x2)-50k(LTZ 4x4) next year.

Kahit hindi mo tinatanong ang Montero Sport, isasama ko na rin. For next year, ang possible improvements might be an inclusion of the following safety features: Hill Start Assist, Hill Descent Control, Electronic Stability Control, and Traction Control System. So I'm expecting a price increase of around 40-60k for the Montero Sport next year.

At nagparamdam na si EQAddict. Bro, pwede ka na magpareserve if at a later date mo kukunin, like what we did. Getting our unit on the 1st week of December. The sales manager of Chevy GH-EDSA also told me na next week sunud-sunod na darating lahat ng stocks from 4x2 to 4x4

Chevrolet is now the number 1 carmaker when it comes to aftersales according to J.D. Power and Associates. They have been in the top spot for 2 consecutive years, from 2011 to 2012.

Here is the proof: J.D. Power: Chevrolet retains top spot in After-Sales Service Customer Satisfaction in PH

For the second consecutive year, Chevrolet Philippines ranked highest in J.D. Power Asia Pacific's Philippine After-Sales Customer Service Index (CSI) Study, beating big names such as Honda, Mitsubishi, Toyota, and its closest American rival, Ford. The bow tie brand scored an overall index of 836, which is an improvement over last year's 827. Simply put, Chevrolet owners are the happiest car owners in the country.

This year's results show that Chevrolet performed particularly well in service quality and service advisor factors. Meanwhile, second-placer Nissan (832) stood out with their good vehicle pick-up factor, and third-placer Mazda (831) excels in service initiation and service facility factors.

Just so that we're all on the same page, J.D Power examines five factors that contribute to overall satisfaction of vehicle owners who visit an authorized service enter for maintenance or repair during the first 12 to 14 months of ownership. Listed in order of importance, they are service quality, vehicle pick-up, service initiation, service advisor, and service facility.

I agree, TB might impart a bad image.

Kung acronym I recommend TBZ
Kung nick name T-blaze
Or kung pa-cute Blazy
Or kung astig Blaze or Blazer

I'm also trying not to use trail para di ma-associate with the x-trail

Or trailX kse pag may X parang astiiigg. Parang vin diesel

May Xtrail na kasi, parang baduy na if babaligtarin din. TBZ na lang.

Blaze kasi may fuel din an ganun.

If you plan on keeping it 8 years up, i dont think you should be worrying about resale value. Because most cars of that age would have bottomed out.

Keep on suggesting nicks.

For now, every time I drive out, I call it...

For me, innovation and technology never stops.

Vehicles will keep getting better and better.

It's all about WHEN you need it.

If you need it now, then decide based on what is available now.

If you need it next year, then decide by then.

We can't base our decisions now based on what COULD be.

I agree with this. Sometimes kasi nagkakaroon tayo ng paralysis by analysis. I'm guilty of this myself.

For me, the possible upgrades to the Trailblazer next year are already available as aftermarket accessories. I can easily buy them at my suking accessories store in Banawe, except for the DVD/GPS HU because only the Chevy dealers have the Colorado/Trailblazer ready DVD/GPS HU.

Ito pala yung available DVD/GPS HUs for the Trailblazer Sa Chevrolet GH-EDSA:

Standard HU of the Traverse

*Steer, *RTS

Do you know if you will already be getting the new format LTO plate (3 letters + 4 numbers)? The one with barcode and no more registration sticker?

And will OR CR show it as 2012 TBZ or 2013 TBZ?

*Numbah5, do you know yung sa case mo?

Thanks.

I dont know what my plate would be.

CR would most probably reflect 2012, the time it was bought.

*Marquee Mall just now. Bastos yang SA na yan, habang binubuksan ko yang trailblazer nilock niya at text lang ng text. Nagtinginan kami ng kasabay ko. Ayun siya na ang sumigaq sigaw at nagpahiya jan sa SA na yan. Haha.
