The 2021 Chevy Trailblazer has all the perks of a large SUV but in a much smaller frame. Trailblazers lack the bulkiness of most SUVs, which makes for a more enjoyable driving experience. Here are the reasons the 2021 Trailblazer is loved by everyone who drives one! more 1. Room for All Your Needs Although the 2021 Trailblazer is smaller than previous generations, you aren't missing any useable space. This compact SUV manages to fit a shocking 54.4 cubic feet of cargo space, allowing you to transport everything you need with room to spare. However, if you plan on utilizing all 54 cubic feet, make sure you don't bring a crowd, as you'll need to collapse the back row and front passenger seat to take advantage of the space. The cargo area of the Trailblazer is impressive in length as well. With the passenger seat and back row collapsed, you can transport items up to 8.5 feet in length. This length is the perfect amount of room for moving furniture, transporting lumber, or even hauling a small kayak or canoe. 2. Living Up to the Trailblazer Name If the name didn't give it away, the Trailblazer is no shrinking violet in the great outdoors. With fantastic off-road features and three available drive modes, as well as an all-wheel-drive option, you'll be forging your own path through the woods in no time. If you plan on being a full-time forest fan, consider splurging on the Chevy Trailblazer Activ. This rugged trim provides an ungraded suspension system specifically crafted for off-roading. You'll be glad you went with the Activ model when you scale some fallen tree limbs or brave a creek crossing. 3. Smooth and Precise Handling Many people find SUVs off-putting because they can be notoriously tricky to maneuver and park. You can lay that fear aside when it comes to the 2021 Trailblazer. This generation has the best handling of any Trailblazer design, and its subcompact frame makes driving in even the tightest spaces simple. The smaller size of the Trailblazer has also positively influenced its responsiveness and precision. 4. No Trouble Towing If you thought that the Trailblazer wouldn't be able to haul a trailer due to its more diminutive stature, don't worry! Outfit your Trailblazer with the 1.3-liter engine, and you can tow up to 1,000 pounds. You won't be hauling a livestock trailer with your Trailblazer, but a 1,000-pound towing ability will allow you to pull a small boat or some jet skis to the lake for a good time. Also, having the ability to tow a small trailer can come in very handy when you have to move furniture or appliances. The Trailblazer isn't what you'll select to pull a work trailer, but you'll have no trouble when it comes to hauling smaller scale items. The 2021 Trailblazer is an SUV that is worth a test drive. Once you've experienced its tight turning radius and impressive responsiveness, you'll be questioning if you ever want to go back to a full-size SUV. Come on out to Sax Motor and take one for a drive today!

No matter whether you need the engine inspecting or the tire pressure adjusting, the friendly team at your Dickinson, ND dealership is ready to help. Here are just some of the top services you can expect. more 1. Fluid Check There are lots of different fluids used in your car, helping with everything from the brakes to the transmission system and the radiator too. Over time, these fluids can get used up or may even become contaminated, potentially causing damage under the hood. A fluid check is a great service to get, as it allows a technician to inspect your car's many fluids and ensure that all the levels are topped up. It's also useful for identifying leaks or fluid contamination. 2. Oil Change We've just spoken about the many fluids in your car, and engine oil is one of the most important fluids of them all. This oil lubricates the various components of the engine, allowing the parts to move smoothly together. However, over time, engine oil can get gritty, coarse, and even sludgy, becoming way less effective and even causing engine problems if left unattended. It's important to get your oil changed regularly at the dealership to avoid any problems. 3. Engine Diagnostic Ever spotted the "Check Engine" light appear on your Chevy's dashboard? If so, you're not alone. Many drivers see this little light illuminate and aren't quite sure what to do about it. The best course of action is to get an engine diagnostic at your dealer. During the diagnostic, a technician will connect with your car's onboard computer to find out what's wrong with your engine and then make the recommended repairs. 4. Battery Test Your car's battery charges back up as you drive, but it can't last forever. Eventually, the power levels will decrease and the battery will need to be replaced. This usually happens every three to five years. Battery tests can show you how much charge is left in your battery and give you an approximate idea of how long it has left to live. This is a great service to get if you notice battery problems like flickering headlights or a slow-starting engine. 5. Tire Inspection Your car's tires may have once looked clean and new, but over time, the treads wear down and pressure levels drop. A tire inspection is a great way to check up on the health of your tires. During this process, a technician will take a close look at each tire, checking the tread wear and looking for any signs of punctures or other damages. They'll also be able to assess and adjust the pressure levels in each tire too. These are just some of the many auto services you can find at the dealership, and they can all help to keep your car running smoothly and prevent costly repairs. Contact Sax Motor Co. today to schedule any services your Chevy needs.

Whether you're planning a summertime road trip or you're driving more as the weather gets nicer, it's important to know how to keep yourself and those around you safe. Summer driving can bring a few of its own risk factors and hazards, so follow these tips for improved safety during the warmest months of the year. more 1. Stay Current With Vehicle Maintenance The changing climate conditions can take a serious toll on your vehicle, so it's more important than ever to keep up with necessary maintenance. Driving in extreme heat can increase the risk of engine overheating and tire blowouts, as well as put extra stress on other mechanical components within the car. Check your tire tread regularly and replenish the fluids under the hood every time you fuel up, including the brake fluid, power steering fluid, coolant, transmission fluid, and windshield washer fluid. If your car is due for an oil change, take care of that maintenance task. It's important to be sure that the engine has enough clean oil to maintain its proper temperature and lubricate the moving parts. Summer is also a good time to bring your vehicle in for any mileage-based maintenance recommendations, such as fluid flushes and replacements. If you're heading out on a long road trip, take your car in for a checkup to make sure it's ready for the added strain. 2. Watch for People During the warmer seasons, people spend more time outdoors. You might see children playing near the street or people walking or riding their bikes in groups. Stay vigilant in watching for people around your vehicle to keep them safe as they use the shared surfaces. When kids are playing outside, drive extra slowly to give yourself extra time in case one of them darts out into the road unexpectedly. 3. Keep Sunglasses Within Reach The days are longer during the summer months, which means the sun shines brightly for hours at a time. A shift in the sun's position can put the harsh rays directly within your line of sight, making it difficult to see the road ahead. Keep sunglasses within easy reach of your position in the driver's seat so you can protect your eyes and maintain visibility of what's ahead. Polarized sunglasses are especially effective, as they can protect your eyes from damage and fatigue while reducing glare. 4. Slow Down Around Construction Work Road construction projects often ramp up during the late spring and summer, when workers have better weather in which to be outside. They don't have a lot of protection when they're working on the roads, so slow down when you're driving near people actively working. Not only does this simple action help to protect the vulnerable workers, but it can also prevent you from getting a hefty fine. In most states, traffic violation fines double in construction zones. Take advantage of the warmer temperatures and longer days as you get out and enjoy the natural surroundings this summer. You can certainly do so safely, as long as you follow a few simple tips for safer summer driving. Visit Sax Motor Co. to get your car ready for summer!
