Now, the S-10 Blazer, 1982-2005, was the one that was never meant to tow much since it’s engines were either a 4 banger or a 2.8-4.3 V6. The K5 Blazer/Tahoe was and still is the best Blazer ever built. Better than this new piece of front wheel drive-based plastic. To paraphrarse Doc in Back To The Future Part II: “Marty, he’s in a K5 Blazer, we’re in a 2019 Blazer. He’d cut through us like we were tin foil” |

Sorry, but some of you are way to hurt over this Blazer name thing.
So its not what your hopes and dreams were. You'll be OK. Promise. This looks like a nice CUV. Period. It picks up where the last Blazer left off...a family car grocery getter...except much much better.

I have a '14 Tacom 4x4 Off Road that has a towing capacity of 6400lbs. I've towed 4500lbs with it and it was fine but was still under max by almost 2000lb. I also had 2000 Blazer 4x4 with 4.3 V6 that was rated at 5600lbs. I pulled a 28' pontoon that weighed around 4000lbs. It would strain awful on the slight grades just west of KC. There are just too many variables - type trailer, type road, condition, hills, head winds and one a lot of people do not consider, outside temperature. Max weight towing and even slight uphill grade can easily overheat engine. Trying to tow 4500 with a vehicle rated 4500 would be an issue in my book regardless of vehicle.

Again, where does this fit in? Is it between Trax & Equinox or Equinox & Traverse? Is there really that big a gap in either of those holes? That’s why I was hoping it was a smaller Tahoe.

Like I said, I would not recommend using ANY Blazer from ANY year for that kind of load.

There’s serious trailering and then there’s extreme. Sounds like you need a 10,500 lb+ limit. Your example sounds like it requires a Ford F-250 Super Duty duallie or Silverado 2500 Duramax Allison which is a whole different discussion. |

Interested to see pricing. Wife will need a new ride late this year.
I actually like it. Although, I'd buy that 2 door Tahoe a few pages back tomorrow if I could find one. lol |

Looks like Chevy graphed a 2019 Camaro front end onto a Jeep Cherokee .

Why couldn’t the 2019 Camaro front end look that good?
