It’s about that time for various 2022 model year updates, refreshes, and changes to start circulating. Add the 2022 Chevrolet Blazer to the list. It’s a Chevy-giveth-and-Chevy-taketh-away sort of affair, with some colors departing, some appearing, and some alterations to packages and equipment. But the headliner is the departure of an engine option: Once available with three engines, the 2022 Blazer will now only offer two. The powerful V-6 is safe—whew!—and instead it is the base engine—a naturally-aspirated 2.5-liter I-4—that didn’t make the cut this year.
On the capability front, the trailering package now extends to 2.0-liter models and is standard on all-wheel-drive versions. What’s included varies by trim; 2LT models get a hitch, while 3LT trims and above offer a hitch-view camera option. V-6-equipped Blazers get the heavy duty cooling option when equipped with the trailering package.
Without the trailering package, the 2022 Blazer is good to tow up to 1,500 pounds, with either engine. Opt for the 2.0-liter engine with either drivetrain and the trailering package, and the rating jumps to 3,500 pounds. The V-6 can tow up to 4,500 when properly equipped.
The 2022 Chevrolet Blazer hits dealers late this summer.
