2024 Blazer RS

[JEBar]

applying the ceramic coating to Maureen's Blazer has experienced a minor delay, at our request ..... due to an outing with our camping club, we will not be available to pick it up until Monday at the earliest ....

[JEBar]

we have Maureen's Blazer and the result of having it ceramic coated is mind blowing .... I've tried taking pictures and they simply don't do it justice .... I was a bit surprised to see it come with Michelin tires .... I prefer 18" rims but the 20's shown do have a decent sidewall and ride smoothly .... we had some running around to do this morning before the rain sets in ..... during our drive we stopped at a local RV Dealership and looked at some 5th wheels and small Class A motorhomes .... haven't looked at new RV's in over 10 years .... while much has changed, much hasn't

Ya there still built poorly and they are the worst thing built in the USA. IMO the older ones are built better than the newer ones. As one guy I know says once you get by the outer shell there all the same junk on the inside.

The one change that was probably the most glaring was the price.

Wow, look at that shine! Pics may not do justice, but I can see it.
Looks great for that potential leaf lookn' trip.

I've learned that it most certainly takes time and expertise .... the fellow worked on our Blazer for something over 2 days and the results are easy to see .... in addition to working on the outside he also treated the dash, door interiors, seats and console ..... when he saw the child safety seat he gave that entire area a double coat .... I freely admit that when I first heard the price of coating our Blazer I was skeptical and a bit hesitant ..... after speaking with a fellow I've known for decades who works at the dealership and had his new vehicle done a few months ago, we decided to bite the bullet and have it done ..... now, we are happy we had it done and wouldn't hesitate, if/when we buy another vehicle to have it done

[Hatchdog]

The color on your Blazer is perfect to show the difference the treatment will show. Too bad we can’t appreciate it like you can.

Just to clarify my comment was in response to your remark about RV's Jim. The Blazer looks nice.

[daytime dave]

The Blazer looks great Jim. Those are large tires for that vehicle. I think they are near the same size as my F150.

understood and agree .... there are still a few, small, manufactures who put out a well designed/built RV's .... that number rises and falls as Thor or Forest River buys them out and new ones are formed....

[JEBar]

The Blazer looks great Jim. Those are large tires for that vehicle. I think they are near the same size as my F150.

thanks .... these are the standard tires .... 22" rims are an option

[JEBar]

we took possession of Maureen's Blazer on 9-9-23 with 6 miles showing on the odometer .... about an hour ago she turned over 500 miles while we were driving home from a Seafood Restaurant located about 20 miles from our house .... so far she's been driven totally in compliance with GM's break-in procedures .... I am scheduled to have some kidney stones pulverized this coming Thursday .... if I am up to it, the following day, we plan to make a day trip down to the South Port, NC which is on the Atlantic coast .... we are looking forward to going to one of our favorite Seafood restaurants in that part of the country and to looking forward to visiting 3 different campgrounds .... round trip that will be just over 300 miles with 250+ being on I-40 .... looking forward to giving the "adaptive cruise control" a try .... if I'm not up to it, we plan to make the drive on Wednesday of next week

[Coach]

Nice Blazer…

Ceramic coating makes a big difference in the shine.

I did the same for my Mustang.

The next thing will be a PPF

Congratulations!

[JEBar]

The next thing will be a PPF

kind words appreciated .... had to lookup PPF .... didn't know it existed ....is is an expensive process ..

[Coach]

Yes it is.

I’m licking my wounds from the work I just got done $$$.

If you’re going to off road or your roads are bad it will protect the Blazer from rocks chipping your beautiful paint job with the ceramic coating.

I’m thinking about doing a half wrap. Front end up to the doors and a little more on the back.

It would be $1,800 more than what I just paid for my stripes, tint and ceramics.

[JEBar]

our Blazer has a tranny mode for off road but that's a joke .... its low ground clearance isn't sufficient to clear some speed bumps I've seen .... its not and off road vehicle, its an SUV .... but then so are the new Jeep Wagoneers and Cherokees .... does the PPF guarantee no chips from rocks or doors of other vehicles .... as long was we try to keep our vehicles, I can see such an expense as being practical

[Coach]

It’s supposed to be a self healing protection film for rocks etc.

I haven’t done extensive research on it but many folks on the Mach E forum recommend it.

The Blazer sits higher but road rocks are a real thing.

I am seriously considering it for my Mustang as it has a large front end and I spent a lot of money dressing it up.

[Coach]

I’m thinking about the second option in the picture.

[JEBar]

sharp looking Pony .... it most certainly looks like a keeper

[JEBar]

first mini-trip .... just over 50 miles round trip, about 20 over a decent 2 lane state road and 30 some miles on I-40 .... first time using adaptive cruise control, for me the jury is still out .... it worked as advertised but I found it to be a bit spooky .... ran instantaneous MPG screen most of the way .... mileages shown were impressive .... the Blazer's ride, handling, and very quiet noise level were most impressive .... one of the reasons we purchased it was to meet our need for a year round vehicle to make an emergency trip from our home in NC out to Maureen's home area of SD .... for us this is a trip we've had to make several times over the years and with all of us growing older, its bound to happen again .... IF/When the need should arise again, I have no doubt that the Blazer will prove to be an excellent vehicle for us to drive
