It's a fact for the Envoy at least. The vehicle will be known as the GMC Envoy XL. However, due to a GM embargo, you will not find out any further official information on this till at least October. Stay tuned to Town Hall though, and you will be one of the first to find out when official information has been released.   Drew Host Vans, SUVs, and Aftermarket & Accessories message boards
#14 of 72 too bad by dardson1 Sep 06, 2001 (6:37 pm)
For many of us who drive SUV's the TB/Envoy is the perfect size. I personally do not need 8 or 9 chairs. I don't tow much or drive off-road at all. What I want is a fairly luxurious car where I can lay down the seats and carry all the stuff I seem to need a big wagon to carry. Minivans don't really work. The ability to fold the seats and have a flat cargo area (without removing the seats) ain't there on a minivan. I am very tempted by the TB/Envoy but have this nagging fear that GM works out the wrinkles at the expense of the first and even second year owners.
#15 of 72 Trail Blazer vs My 96 Blazer by sweetpea7 Oct 30, 2001 (7:36 pm)
The 96 Blazers had so many problems. Brakes, sludge in the cooling system, injectors, wipers, no heat, no air. How does anyone know that the Trail Blazer is a better vehicle? GM says it is completely redesigned but is it? Or will all of the old Blazer problems follow it? Can someone knowledgeable comment?

I've had several S-10 Blazers and I now have a 2002 Trailblazer....There is no comparison between the two differant body styles. The new 2002 Trailblazer is far superior than the previous vehicles. I now have 5500 miles on mine and absolutly love it......As the old saying goes "TRY IT AND YOU WILL LIKE IT"!!!!!!!!!

I am in sales but a small territory with about 12-15K miles per year, While I do not plan to do any 4w driving I want a nice car, leather, moon roof etc with lots of room for my staff and clients. is the TB a good choice, commish will be less next year, need something afford able
#19 of 72 TB Gas Mileage by cwhawk Nov 28, 2001 (5:51 pm)
I have a new TB LTZ(700 miles)with the 3.42 rear axle, 2wd, and am getting 16 mpg in 50/50 mixed driving. I expected more. My 97 Blazer got 19.5 mpg in the same situation. What mpg are others getting? Did the mileage improve after 2-3,000 miles? Other than this, the TB is great.
#20 of 72 mileage improves with age by erinsquared Jan 03, 2002 (10:24 am)
You haven't even broken in your engine at 700 miles. The engine break-in gives all of the moving metal pieces of your engine a chance to mate to one another. This allows them to function at peak efficiency. Your mileage should improve as your engine breaks in over the next couple of thousand miles. Make sure you maintain the recommended tire pressure and follow the manufacturer's oil service recommendations for your new truck. Typically this requires that you change the oil at a greater frequency during the engine break-in period. Replies to this message: goodgradesnow (May 28, 2008 10:49 am)

#22 of 72 trailblazer vs. 96 blazer by gmserviceguy1 Mar 23, 2002 (8:18 pm)
Here's a bit of info - the trailblazer is a totally new truck - and seems to be a great vehicle - the only drawback trailblazers seem to have is ENGINE FAILURE - but this has been limited to trucks built in june and july which should have sold off dealer lots some time ago but check - if you start to have engine problems get right to the dealer any coolant consumption, noise (rap or tick) cold start skip, tick or excessive white smoke in an indication of problems, GM is aware and is replacing engines without question - but in my opinion - great truck - as for the 96 - anyone who has a later model GM vehicle my notice cooling system problems such as bad heat - or sludging up - I will tell everyone - as soon as your warranty is up - flush out the dexcool (red coolant) the stuff sucks - do a full cooling flush (this is more than a 49.95 jiffy lube flush) and refill with standard green coolant
