Most vehicles in this segment come close to each other enough to the point that what people choose are very personal choices.
I for one waited this long for Chevrolet to finally launch a product but held out on the Ford Edge

Towing is rated 4500 for the awd variant only I think it's like 1500 for the 2wd

Any idea how much better it can get with a different class hitch? I think in some cases they can improve the towing cap slightly.

I checked fully numbers and among the only two owners that reported their mileage, combined they get 21 MPG average.
Not exactly the best but it will be bad if that number says consistent as more new Blazers get added.

It might be more common than you think. Some owners I spoke to report a similar avg... then there was this I found online

Decent numbers for a traditional SUV.
Not so much in the years ahead of hybrid SUV's. Does anyone know if a Hybrid Blazer will launch eventually? Closer to the 30 mpg mark is where it needs to be.

The Blazer has to last another 6-7 years, during a time hybrid SUV's will be everywhere. GM can't miss out.
