Has anyone observed the heavy steering of the Trailblazer during the test drive?

yes it's heavy. but lighter than montero

Anyone knows when supply for TBZ will normalize? yung di na pila? Thanks!

Sabi nung SA ng Montero it's designed for women daw. Mukhang sinungaling yata kung better ang steering ng Trailblazer. Thanks dct.

hahaha. steering ang unang reklamo ng mga new owner ng montero. but eventually masasanay din naman so no problem na sa future

Yes it's kinda heavy but it gets softer once you gain speed.

By December steady supply na of 4x4 units. Di nila inexpect na mas marami may gusto ng 4x4 LTZ kesa 4x2 LT.

Guys I did not notice na mabigat ang steering.

Subukan mo yung sa Montero Sport ko, mas mabigat pa yun kesa sa steering ng TrailB.

I was referring to my TB. The steering is not heavy as compared to my brother's montero

TrailB bro. TB sounds like it is an SUV for tuberculosis patients. Yes, its steering is lighter than the Monty's.

I do have Forty but never tried Monty so am not familiar with the latter. How does TrailB's steering compare with Forty? Thx.

*talohunter, 4 tweeters and 4 coaxial speakers ang LTZ variant. May 2 rear tweeters siya sa left and right rear passenger doors.

San nakalagay yung tweeters ng rear doors? Sa speaker housing ng separates din ba? Inilawan ko yung speaker housing and 5 inch seps lang nakita ko sa loob, walang tweeter.

*all Mabigat nga steering niya compared to our other cars although AUV and sedan naman yung other cars namin so ok lang dahil SUV ang Trailblazer and at laki niya.

Ano ba ang power steering ng Trailblazer? Rack and pinion or recirculating ball?

[apple5]

May eps ba steering ng TB? Or same with fort medyo mabigat?

[TheBigDaddy]

Based from the brochure it says the steering type is Non-Variable Ratio

According to the brochure of Chevrolet Thailand, the steering of the TrailB is rack and pinion and the power steering is hydraulic. Meaning it is a bit on the heavy side, but it is still lighter than the steering of the Monty and the Fort.

Good Day mga Sir,
Anyone can assist me in How to Activate the Voice command of GPS( Papagos x8) sa TrailbB , I tried many times last night activating the Voice Command but no luck. The manual naman does not explain in details how, Still needing more time to be familiar w/ this brute.

*RTS, naactivate na yung Voice command of GPS ng TrailB nyo? Kulang pa time ko kalikot ng GPS. And by the way, does your bluetooth works on both mobile phone calling and as an audio output for mobile phone? I tried using Blackberry, Iphone, Ipod Touch, Nokia all of them didn't work. Either no sound or choppy sound.

*All. just want to share my experience with the TrailB 4x4 AT. Went to Manaoag, fully loaded:

1. NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) is very satisfactory. At crusing speed, no engine noise, no wind noise. All you hear is the road noise.Though, i felt a small vibration in the body during idling.
2. Engine is powerful, sarap ihataw pero pigil muna at break-in pa.
3. Automatic tranny shifting is seamless, you cannot feel anything.
4. Steering wheel is not that hard.
5. Ride is comfortable, smooth and soft.
6. Cruise control is great. Pahinga ang paa and leg muscles.
7. All door locks automatically unlocks when you shift the AT to PARK. It's just bit annoying wihen nobody is going out and you need to lock for security reason. Maybe just need reprogramming.

Overall, I am a fully satisfied owner of a TrailB. The only downside, the dealer cannot make the steering wheel control work when they replaced the original radio with the entertainment package (DVD, GPS....) which cost a lot. Also, the bluetooth audio is not working.

The FC pala:

1. Quezon City-Manaoag-Quezon City
Distance: 402.7KM
Fuel used (manually calculated: 38.03 liters
FC: 10.58 km/l

2. Manaoag-Quezon City
Distance: 202.7 KM
Fuel used (on the trip computer): 17.61 liters
FC: 11.51 km/l
