2015 Trailblazer: tagtag

[wowiesy]

almost 2 weeks na sa amin yung trailblazer... pinaka na notice ko is yung tagtag.. ths is my first suv kaya dko alam kung ganito ba talaga pag suv...

when we took in the unit delivery.. the tire pressure was at 38 front 41 rear .. the sticker on the door only specifies 35 front and 38 rear...

on a l8ng drive to manaoag on the first week.. binawasan ko to 36 front and 37 rear... mas ok na pero ramdam pa rin tagtag...

now I think nasa 35 na sya lahat front and rear...

I dont wat to go lower na since almist 10% lower na yan sa recommended spec.. I dont want to have to go under inflated for too long which means mught have to upgrade shocks siguro... tama ba?

what can you guys recommend?

Sa long drive tataas pa temp nang air sa loob nang tire so yung 35 mo nagiging 37 pa malamang. I suggest you either try nitro air at stick ka sa 35psi or gawin mong 34psi Front and Rear.

Same experience about sa tag tag. I did the same bawasan yung pressure even down to 30psi (although my unit has rim 20), it helped pero ramdam pa rin talga. Before I changed my mags and tire, the feel was the same. One thing I noticed is, if your car is fully loaded, the ride was superb.

bigger SUVs have stiff suspension compared to sedans kaya matagtag.... because they are built to carry.... the only SUV that I've ridden on na maganda ang ride are the expeds.

sir, fortuner and montero namin naka 32 all tires ordinary air ok naman yun ride hindi matagtag

yun strada ko naka nitrogen tapos 35 all tires, masmatagtag sya sa fortuner and montero na naka 32 psi + suv hehe

pero ang gaan idrive nun strada compare sa suv namin :D

When I hauled a sack of rice on my TBZ, the ride improved. I'm thinking of permanently putting at the back a (cement) sack of sand already.

Time proven technique from way back. Never fails.

YuNg tb namin.. Napansin ko katagalan lumambot na suspension... Unlike Dati matigas talaga... Pero nag palit na din Ako NG shocks and coils...

[Jfox]

Ganun talaga cguro pag SUV. Yung sa amin after 10k km. ok na yung suspension. unlike before very bumpy

Hi Wowiesy,

Ganyan din po yng complaint ng misis ko ng makuha nya yng TB nya last august 8, nagbreak in sya papuntang batangas matagtag sya. din advise ko palit ng nitro. afterwards smooth napo yng takbo at magaan dalhin.

[yebo]

ladder on frame suv, matagtag talaga compared sa sedan. pick up based kasi yan and designed for hauling heavy loads. so tama, lagyan mo 2 sakong bigas sa likod para gumanda ang ride, or palit ka ng shocks.

air is 78% nitrogen. well, maybe some butts are more sensitive than others

I share the same sentiment bro. I'm planning to upgrade the suspension with strong emphasis on ride comfort (since i don't go off-reading).

Ano ba ang recommended spring+shock combo na best for ride comfort?

some offroad suspension set ups are actually more comfortable than stock. most reviews say "foam cell" type shocks give much softer ride than gas shocks. cost? dun lang magkakatalo, some can go up to 6 figures!

[halimawts]

Thanks, will look it up!

Moving forward, ano pinaka-magandang next step for those of us na wanting to upgrade suspension to a softer, more comfy ride?

For those of us na hindi masyadong well-versed pagdating sa suspension, do any of the suppliers / shops give professional advice regarding this? Or talagang kanya-kanyang research lang talaga sa internet?

Gusto ko palitan yung entertainment system ng 2015 TB 2.5LT ko. Any recommendations? I’m looking at Growl Audio pero wala pa sila for 2015 TB.

[machine.pistol]

And also how much and where to get parts and installation?

i am in the market for a 4x4 at suv maybe early next year so kindly help me. i'm seriously considering either 2016 fortuner, 2015/16 TB and 2nd hand 2010-2012 lc200 (brand new 2015 lc200 is out, wife backed out when she saw the P200k insurance premium hahaha! ok lang daw 4.6M price tag kaso nanghinayang sa insurance premium.)

any problems with the tb 4x4 at? for those who have ridden on both 2013 and 2015 models, can you compare the NVH, or compare it to others. i read from reviews the NVH of the TB is a bit harsher than others but the reviews are for the 2013. is the 2015 better? kindly someone please take a tape measure and check the interior width of the car on the 2nd row, my fat yaya might not fit with 2 kids beside hehehe! i want to compare the interior width kasi to grand starex and lc200.

and has anyone taken their automatic 4x4 tb off road, as in 8 inches of mud? how is the handling? how about in pot holed gravel roads? anyone done a suspension lift and how it affects the handling?

NVH level... much better and ranger... my vroom vroom sound ang tb...

suspension.. already replaced my coils and shocks with iron man 2" lift.. matagtag nung una pero after a few thousand kms. gumanda na ang ride... comparable with the 2015 fortuner, handling- on the sporty side...

Interior - 2nd row can fit 3 grown up men...

Kausap ko ironman ngayon, binibigyan nila ako free 2 week testing

Ito balak nila:

1) Front Springs: Front Comfort Coil Springs
2) Back Springs: Rear Performance Coil Springs
3) Front Strut: Nitro Gas
4) Rear Shock Absorber: Nitro Gas Comfort

18k for the spring set
23k for the shock set

Ano yung sayo sir? And how big of a difference from stock?

Thanks!

^bro malayong malayo ang width ng pick up base suv sa starex. Kaya mag4 na tao ang width ang starex. Ang suv 3 lang. Pag fat yaya pa, masikip na hehe
