Motor Trend's Frank Markus's Opinion on The 2019 Blazer: “I'll take the Camaro of SUVs, Please”


The consumer of today asks themselves many questions during their decision, and since the popularity of the SUV has risen by epic leaps and bounds, which one they should buy is frequently at the top of the list. Frank Markus of Motor Trend is an engineer who has a large amount of love for cars and gadgetry and is also one who touts the belief that many of today's crossovers look very ugly and plain. He owns a place on a lake, and sometimes has the need to hitch up a rented trailer for landfill runs, or hauling various other items.



After illustrating quite well the factors that went into his very own “Decid-O-Meter 9000” including budget, Michigan location, and practicality, he thought that the decisive end result of the 2019 Chevy Blazer AWD Premier was fitting. The 3,500-pound tow rating was one of the traits that ranked the Blazer above the 2020 Explorer Limited Hybrid, and the sporty appearance of the Blazer also was a good match for his expectations. People are choosy about their car interiors, and why shouldn't they be? This is where they will be spending a lot of their “go time”, and their mood will reflect heavily upon the makeup of where they spend their time in transit.


Since the Blazer Premier offered the Maple Sugar and Black option featuring piping, stitching, grain, and gloss, it also met his wish of not having a dull all-black or all-grey interior. Frank also added the “Driver Confidence” package, which provides wireless charging for the iPhone 8, full adaptive cruise and forward collision mitigation, Intellibeam lighting, as well as compartment shade and net. Once he got out on the road for some serious testing, he immediately thought the handling was better and more responsive than on his beloved Hemi-powered 2018 Dodge Durango, and all-around quicker than the racy Ford Edge ST. All said and done, he felt like he was at the helm of a “taller, easier to see out of, vastly more useful V-6 Camaro”, and really felt  that he had found a perfect choice for his around-town driver.

Many of our repeat customers here at Chuck Hutton Chevy of Memphis have asked us to point them in the right direction when it comes to looking at a crossover SUV. The current landscape offers many different choices, and each unique lifestyle poses different needs when it comes to a vehicle. The crossover The new Blazer effortlessly evokes the functional style of a family-friendly sports sedan, while at the same time providing a capable ride as a weekend-ready and fully-fledged SUV.

Once you have a look at the interior, it's true what many others who have completed a test drive say: the vent rings surprisingly have a pretty heavy bearing on the overall vibe of the vehicle. They bear a very close-knit resemblance to the sporty Camaro, and much attention to detail was laid out to have a finished result that immediately commands the onlooker's sight line. Make sure you check out the Blazer RS when you visit us here this summer: it is fitted with a quicker steering ratio, and well-fitting 21-inch wheels. With the back seat folded down, there is 64.2 cubic feet of storage, and the capability to get your family around town with ease while enjoying the muscle car design will no doubt have you sold on the current Blazer's swagger and stance!
