Paul 55,114 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 (edited) In the Philippines? You may find one, but I don't recall seeing one - ever. ---- Unless I am thinking of the wrong vehicle here. My internet is too slow tonight to do much, certainly not an internet search.

Davaoeno 37,482 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 They are advertising the new trailblazer extensively these days. They only mention it as a 4x2 [ and make no mention of a 4x4 ]. They state the torque- which is so high I assume its a diesel engine Link to post Share on other sites

Buko Beach 5,085 Posted December 2, 2013 Share Posted December 2, 2013 Introducing the ALL-NEW TRAILBLAZER (7 seater SUV) Chevrolet Trailblazer 2014 LTZ 2.8 Liter 4x4 New! Duramax diesel engine with 200hp @ 3800 rpm and Torque of 500Nm @ 2000rpm. VGTi 6-Speed Automatic Transmission and Built-in My link 7" touchscreen monitor. Srp: 1,733,888 I have an 09 Avalanche LTZ with the 6 speed in it. While I love the truck I can't stand the 6 speed. To get on the freeway or pass someone you need to literally stomp on the gas pedal which causes the truck to lurch violently. Just pressing firmly on the gas will not get the transmission to shift fast enough to do what you want to do. I had an older GMC Sierra with a 4 speed in it and loved it. The 6speed is only good when already on the freeway and cruising at high speed, which rarely happens to someone driving in the Philippines. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Oh we have freeways but rarely get up to speed because people don't seem to grasp the concept of keeping right except to pass. They see nothing wrong with driving slowly in the left lane blocking up the freeway. I read some complaints about the chevy 6 speed transmission having clunky shifting but had a 2013 and found it to be fine. Link to post Share on other sites
