It's for the wife so it will be awhile.Of course it is my tow vehicle too

It only had 4 miles on it when we picked it up so I'll wait till about 500 or more before I dyno then tune it

That makes 2 of us

We went to 5 dealer's to find one other than black or gray.This dealer had all the color's,too bad this one had all the options(only one that was orange)

They did save me $10k off the sticker though

well if it is your new tow vehicle it definetly has to have more torque whch means a tune and a turbo

I'm so glad you have the side panels painted, looks great. Good luck with it! (and with the wife too when she starts bitching you out for taking it all the time)

My straight 6 275hp trailblazer has more than enough power to tow my car to the track.I tow my car to the track doing about 75-85mph with no problems.That 5.3 should have no problem towing for ya

Nice choice. I've got a 5.3L Trailblazer with 3.73's and had no problem towing my car and trailer.
