New 2017 TrailBlazer arrives in North America!

[GM Corporate Office]

Good morning GM Truck Enthusiasts!!

Because this is the best GM Truck forum, we wanted to give you all advance insider information that the TrailBlazer will be returning to North America for the 2017 model year! Although it is still too early for details and pictures, what I can say is that it is NOT based on the current TrailBlazer built in Thailand. It is a whole new look and platform built on a full body-on-frame design.

We are very excited, as I'm sure you are too being GMT360/370 enthusiasts, on the return of this missing segment in the market.

More news to follow once all the details become available.

Nice this is the best GM Truck forum, WOW!! I guess this is not a mass message from GM on all the GM Truck forums online

Well I had to edit my post, after charging me $50 for membership that I didn't wanted or approved the GMTNation dropped as the best forum.

Still not crazy about the overseas body. Being honest the canyon and Colorado are the nicest looking trucks in the lineup imo. The full sizes are just too plush and bloated. They're nice but I wouldn't want to use one as a work truck you know?

Wrong. Says right in that article "However, new model is designed for some other specific markets such as Asia or Brazil. In United States, this model is not available."

 

[HARDTRAILZ]

I sure hope it aint coming round here

Your quote was for the refreshed 2012 2013 models. That's how I read it. 2017 will return to NA.

Hi @The_Roadie !!!! Long time no see. Hope all is well.

April 1st.



Would be nice if true but I'm not holding my breath.

I don't care what platform they slap the "trailblazer" name on, it won't be the same and I won't be interested.

Engine options to small

 

[rtliquid]

I would suspect that by 2030, I might be able to afford a 2017.

 

[05envoy]

it would be best to view the o/p information

 

[Capote]

It better not look like the "Trailblazer" in the foreign market, it looks nothing like it's namesake at all. Either way, it won't look as good as the origional Trailblazer's.

But will it ever come stateside?

Probably not. It will probably never come over here as it would be a competitor to the Acadia, Traverse, et al.

Anyway, it was a good April Fool's.

I'm not that big on them, they look weird

 

[dmanns67]

Looks like they are trying to bring back the Xtreme package as well that was used with the Blazer and S10 in the early 2000's. Colorado looks pretty good.

 

[Mooseman]

A lot of new things look weird. You should see the looks I get for my snowmobile, which kinda looks like a bug. It's a love it or hate it kind of look.

I think the new TB looks Ok. It's different.

Hi @The_Roadie !!!! Long time no see. Hope all is well.

Haha. Try again.

 

[dmanns67]

Haha. Try again.

[Mooseman]

Really?

 

[roughtony]

The side mirrors look weird.

 

[northcreek]

They better offer a V8 in that puppy or I'm not buyin'...

 

[littleblazer]

I'd rather have the duramax TBH.... I'd get in less trouble.

[$ Khalid ! 9130]

Really crap design. Sorry but this cant be called a Trailblazer. TBH its a shame on the Trailblazer name. Not a trailblazer at all !!!

Just reminds me that my current truck will be staying for a Looooooong Tym

 

[dkvasnicka]

Looks like GM is testing the "new" TB in Colorado

Not saying it means they are going to sell it in the US... (especially since it's a RHD vehicle)

 

[MikeHayes]

Translation: all of you enthusiasts with 7 year old or older Trailblazer hurry down to your local dealership and buy the new one. Honest, They're just as good as the one you have now.

 

[Mooseman]

Did you look at the date on the original post?

 

[MikeHayes]

So I missed that part.... Hold still a minute. lol

 

[northcreek]

This powertrain info is a little different from what I've read before...Mike.

If they ever bring it back there's no way it will pack a 6.0 V8. Those times are simply gone.

Also the site seems to me to be some kind of "made for showing ads only" kind of website. Not credible IMHO.

2017 refresh is coming, though. Just not for us. http://auto.ndtv.com/news/chevrolet-previews-2017-trailblazer-facelift-with-premier-study-1290311

I can dream, can't I ?

 

[littleblazer]

I mean you have full size gm SUVs running sub 16 second quarter miles actually sometimes below 15 seconds depending on where you look... bone stock. If they were to bring it back I'd imagine gm could approach SS performance without the big 6.0l. Those days aren't long gone the need just isn't there as much.
