Design/Price The 2022 Chevy Blazer is a two-row SUV that offers spacious seating and cargo room, with comfortable seating up front and enough room for up to five people.

Both come standard with a nine-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel drive; all-wheel drive is available and includes a towing package.

Front-wheel drive is standard, and Chevy’s advanced twin-clutch all-wheel-drive system is available on the RS trim. It delivers a 21/27 mpg city and highway rating with its base engine. Equinox dropped its more powerful 2.0-liter turbo engine, making the only power the Equinox offers for this model year a 170-horsepower, 1.5-liter turbocharged engine and a six-speed automatic transmission. The transmission shifts smoothly, but acceleration is a bit lackluster in its only engine. The Equinox delivers a comfortable ride and takes turns with composure. Opting for larger wheels will give you a jittery experience, especially over large bumps in the road. The Equinox will tow up to a maximum of 1,500 pounds with its only engine and front-wheel drive is standard and all-wheel drive is available on all trims. Fuel economy is estimated at 26/31 mpg city and highway. Conclusion The 2021 Chevy Blazer and Equinox are built from the same family. The Chevy Blazer is midsize and designed for your drive around down with more towing capabilities and an off-road drive-mode for your adventures; while the Equinox is compact with about the same passenger and cargo space, as well as standard features. The Equinox will give you a smaller engine, but better gas mileage with a better price tag.

Can’t decide whether you should buy the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LTZ or the High Country? Both Silverado 1500 trucks are on the high end of the trim model hierarchy, which means both are stocked with luxury features. It also means that both trucks come standard with impressive V8 power. But knowing what these models have in common won’t help you choose between them. Let’s take a look at how they’re different. Configuration When it comes to cabin and bed size configurations, there aren’t any differences between the LTZ and High Country. Rear-wheel-drive models come standard with the short, 5-foot-8-inch bed. With four-wheel drive, these Silverado 1500 trucks are also available with the standard, 6.5-foot bed.

The High Country, meanwhile, has a modern, refined look, with body-color bumpers and LED head- and tail lights. On the other hand, these trucks also have a lot of exterior features in common. For example, both look sharp with daytime running lamps and chrome door handles. Helpful utility features, like cargo bed LED lighting and heated power mirrors, add a layer of convenience to your daily drive.

When you’re shopping for a new Silverado, you can easily find yourself torn between the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST and LT Trail Boss. These Silverado 1500 trucks might be adjacent in the trim lineup, but they’re different enough to appeal to very different kinds of drivers. Let’s take a closer look. Configuration With rear-wheel drive, the 2021 Chevrolet Silverado 1500 RST is available with a crew cab and the line’s short, 5-foot-8-inch bed. Add four-wheel drive to your RST, and two more configurations become available: the crew cab with the standard, 6.5-foot bed, and the double cab with the standard bed. Every LT Trail Boss comes standard with four-wheel drive. It also comes standard with a crew cab, which you can pair with either the standard or short bed. Power and Performance These Silverado 1500 trucks feature two different engines. With its 2.7-liter turbocharged four-cylinder engine, the RST is thrifty but powerful. If you crave extra towing capabilities and even higher fuel mileage, choose the optional turbo diesel engine. For more horsepower, the 5.3-liter V8 is available. When you choose the LT Trail Boss, extra horsepower comes standard, via the 5.3-liter V8 engine. But the Silverado’s top-of-the-line is also available for this model. Add the 6.2-liter V8 engine for a speedy ride on the pavement and a very capable trail performance. Both: Automatic locking rear differential Trailering Package Optional Advanced Trailering System RST: 2.7L turbocharged four-cylinder engine (310 hp, 348 lb.-ft.)

Both include the EZ Lift tailgate, which gives you easygoing access to your cargo. When it comes to performance gear, that’s where these trucks diverge. Because the LT Trail Boss was designed for rugged off-road performance, it comes standard with the Z71 suspension and a 2-inch lift. You also get mud-terrain tires, perfect for slogging through riverbanks. Both: Body-color door handles Body-color front and rear bumpers Cargo bed LED lightning Cargo tie-downs Optional Chevytec spray-on bedliner Daytime running lamps Deep-tinted glass Heated power outside mirrors LED fog lamps LED reflector headlamps and LED tail lamps Painted mirror caps Tailgate with EZ Lift assist, power lock and release RST: 18-inch Bright Silver painted aluminum wheels Black recovery hooks LT Trail Boss: 18-inch High-gloss Black-painted aluminum wheels 18-inch LT275/65R18C Mud-Terrain Goodyear Wrangler DuraTrac blackwall tires Performance Red recovery hooks Z71 Suspension with 2-inch factory lift Interior Features Inside, these light-duty trucks also have lots of overlap, especially when it comes to tech features like the rearview camera and Infotainment 3 system. Both models offer little luxuries, too, including heated front seats and a leather-wrapped steering wheel. Shoppers should note that the RST comes standard with a front bench seat, though front bucket seats are optional.
