The aftermarket may or may not catch up depending on how popular the Blazer is with folks like yourself that want to have fun with it.Devilchrono wrote: ↑Thu Jan 06, 2022 4:46 pm
I do too actually. I test drove a fwd v6, and liked it, but it was nose heavy for a ‘sporty’ suv/cuv. Also helps we have a v6 traverse, so I didn’t mind doing something different. Test drive an xt5 to feel the 2.0 and thought it had much better acceleration and fit me more, so I put a deposit down on the one we bought.
I don't really love a 2.0T, I think the motor in my Beemah is the biggest downfall. That said, they really are a perfect fit for a light duty trucklet, great punchy low/mids for around town and highway passing, decent efficiency. I just hope GM's sounds better than the unit.
