I just bought my first new vehicle a week ago, a 2021 Trailblazer RS AWD in red. So far I really like it and hope to enjoy for many years.

ZR2LIFE, Welcome. looks good!

Welcome @ZR2LIFE! What other vehicles were you looking at before deciding on the new Trailblazer?

 

[ZR2LIFE]

Actually just the Rav4. The Trailblazer is my wife's new ride, but since I maintain & modify all our vehicles I like to join the forums and learn what I can while also sharing my knowledge of vehicles. We traded our 2016 Corolla S for it which had 75k miles. The Corolla was very reliable and served it's purpose, but the things we really liked best were the seats and the gas mileage (30-35 average), but that's about it. The Trailblazer gets slightly less gas mileage, but it has more room, way more features, a much better ride, AWD and newer more useful tech. The Rav4 was also nice, but equipped the way we wanted it became much more expensive and I may have had some influence being a Chevy guy, lol.

Welcome to the forum @ZR2LIFE and congrats on the new RS! If this is going to be your wife's car, what are you driving?

I'm driving a 2018 Colorado ZR2. I traded a low mileage 02 Corvette Z06 for it back in Feb. We also have an 05 Blazer ZR2 that's also my wife's.

I haven't driven one but I hear the Colorado ZR2 is a blast to drive.

Yeah it's a fun truck. I only had it 1 week and I was already up on the Rubicon Trail, lol. The only thing I don't like is the gas mileage at 16 city and 18 hwy, but it's an off road truck with lots of features so it's expected.
