Chevy Trailblazer

[kbm]

I am New to this forum and new to R V ing. We have purchased a 2001 Winnebago Ultimate Advantage. Now I need a dingy & am considering a Chev Trailblazer. Does anyone know of any pro's or con's about this vehicle ? My second choice is a Chevy 1500 4 x 4.

I know a fellow who has one and has towed it many thousands of miles so far. He is very happy and recommends it highly. Says it tows nicely and is a very pleasant venicle to drive as well.

I tow a Trailblazer with M&G Braking system and it works great. Only disadvanage is its heavy.

We owned a Trailblazer before our Vue and we found it to be a very nice toad however it's a bit too much to tow behind a 38 foot gas motorhome.

You should do very well with the Trailblazer since you're towing it behind a RDP.

My vote is definitely for the Trailblazer.

kbm We have a Trailblazer with the 4.2 inline six cylinder. I'm really impressed with the engine and ride.

As a tow vehicle, it's very easy to select the neutral position on the 4 wheel
AWD system. The wiring for the taillights can easily be slide inside the frame rail and hooked up to the rear lights.

www.demco-products.com has base plates with online descriptions of the installation. I bought here before I knew about the good people below.

has all the towing stuff you'll need including base plate

Probably more information than you wanted but maybe it helps someone else.

We have the sister vehicle to the Trailbalzer, the GMC Envoy. It is a trifle heavy but it is an excellent tow vehicle, and the 8.1 Workhorse has a lot of power. We have not had any real problems with hills or mountains. The ease of getting it prepared to tow is a real plus. Good luck in your search. See ya.
