Folks.. I am shopping for a new 2022 Refresh Locally and found a Dealer who has the Same Interior and exterior color LTZ LTD and LTZ Refresh... They Both have the same Stock Manufacture Photos so I opened Both but in different tabs... Then I made sure both Pics were the same View Point and I quickly Toggled back and Forth to see the Differences... Man, You can really see how much they changed on the Interior... I thought I would share and Hopefully its Useful... Here are the Links... LMK What you think..

Yepp. They spent 90% of the refresh on the interior.  Which needed it badly.  Little disappointed to see they didn’t even touch the taillights.  But I get it guess.  Still a huge improvement.

Got rid of the "sideburns" which will please a lot of people. Probably one of the most polarizing features on the T1.

New interior doesn't look like it was made from Lego blocks. That's better. Smoother more continuous look. I like the dash. Rest of the truck....yea.....not so much.

What if it had the almighty 4.3 ? Then maybe would you consider it ?

When you look at what you get in a Hyundai or Kia today at 40-45k msrp.. The new Kia Sorento is a damn good looking ride inside and out imo. You would think at a average price of 50-55k you would get a bit more then what gm offers in it's truck line, even the redesign falls a bit short for what the cost of these trucks are today imo.

That interior looks horrible. 
 

I wonder how good it will pull my dump trailer.

I had the chance to buy a KIA Sorento, Telluride, and Hyundai Pallisade, but choose to go with a Traverse Redline Edition. Yes, the interiors are nice, IDK if that much nicer than the Traverse. I love how I can hide things behind my 8 inch touch screen on my traverse where the others had just a tablet slammed right in-front of your face. The new Explorer is the worst. The huge tablet just sits there hanging right in front of you. No thanks, I like an inlayed screen that flows with the vehicle.

 

I think these Traverse's are nice looking especially in redline edition. Rides amazing, has very good power (wish they would drop in a 5.3L for more power in an SS model),  and gets 25-27 mpgs depending on how aggressive "we" drive it!

I think the new re-fresh is a home run, both exterior and interior wise. They both look amazing! Only if GM would have spent a little time upgrading the V8 engines!!!! Then one would probably be in my driveway! 

 

Thanks @Mcarlo24 for the pictures and comparing the two. Appreciate it!

A 20 or so bump in horsepower and torque would be nice. Especially on the 5.3L. Also, making the 10L90 standard across the board would be a welcomed change.

Considering the 2.7 turbo makes more torque than the 5.3, I’d say a power upgrade would be a good start.

 

Oh and idk maybe redesign that pesky lifter system that has been causing issues for years.

 

You know, just a few little things.

5.3 makes 383 lb ft of torque and the 2.7 is 348 lb ft of torque so try again on that one.  Plus, would you really give up a NA v8 making those numbers just to drive a boosted 4 banger?  4 bangers are trash and always will be, sad it needs boost to make only decent numbers.

You’re wrong.

It has 430 lb ft as of the 2022 refresh trucks.

    • Declaring victory would upset the demons that possess this Blazer, so I won't. But I did make progress today--after it put up a fight. Always a fight.   I had the day off so I spent the morning cleaning up the shop and I thought I'd get ahead of things by filling the cooling system in prep for the final part I needed to arrive: the driver's side knock sensor. Glug, glug, glug....and then the unmistakable sound of liquid hitting the shop floor. It induces the same chagrin when the sonar and targeting laser temporarily malfunction during a late night bladder evacuation over the toilet with the bathroom light off. D'OH!!! That made a mess...   Oh, hey, that knock sensor I removed? It threads into a wet port. Who knew?! Learn something new every day. Put a pin in that chore, I'll fill it the rest of the way later.   The knock sensor arrived at about 1pm. I threaded it in, connected the wire, filled up the coolant, checked for leaks, and... drumroll.... fingers crossed for a perfect start, excellent timing, model fuel trims, and ...no squeaks... Here goes.....   No, it didn't start. At all. I cranked it a few times and it wasn't sounding good. Furthermore, I heard leaking again. Jesus H Tapdancing Christ, stop leaking all over the dang floor. This time I had accidentally overfilled the coolant reservoir and the churn of the water pump via cranking caused a bit to burp out. Ok, just, breathe... Put the flamethrower down. Dang thing wouldn't burn anyway, leaks too much...   Did you know the rotation of a round crank sensor in a round hole, matters? I do now. Took me about half hour to retrace steps and realize what I had done. Then it started right up.   No squeaks. The squeak was the old balancer.   Once it entered closed loop, fuel trims are dead on, hovering right around zero at idle. No more -30%. I'll credit the injector rebuild on that one.   Timing? I think there's an OBD 1.5 translation error with my Actron scanner. It's anywhere from -20 to -30 at idle, sometimes as high as -40 cruising. Sorry, the engine just isn't running that smoothly at -40 degrees ignition advance. It's just not. It's smooth all through the rev range and has decent power. I'm going to have to trust the seat of my pants on this one.   The new exhaust is very quiet. The old catalytic converter? Not melted, but definitely not healthy. Rains glitter when you turn it on its end...all the precious metal is flaking out. Once the new exhaust system burned in/smoked off a bit, the engine's exhaust smell is normal again. Not that I'd recommend going around huffing car exhaust, but, you know what I mean?   One problem to correct. The new exhaust has the opposite problem of the old spliced up exhaust. It wants to hit the floor where the old one wanted to rest on the cross member. Happy medium, please? Still noodling on that one, need to look at how I can adjust some hangers.   I don't know what's next. On one hand I want to run away from this thing as far and as fast as I can -- there have been a lot of NOT fun moments. On the other, now that it kinda drives nice, maybe drive it around for a little bit?   Shhh... it's not currently dripping oil all over the floor. I can see just a little wet at the bottom of the timing cover where it meets the oil pan seal. It's not dripping multiple drops with every ignition cycle, in fact, after some driving this evening it has yet to even form a drop that could drip off yet. But the weekend is young... I fully expect this could turn into Exxon Valdez by Sunday. Because this Blazer hates me. LOL.      
    • About that:   Once upon a time in a land far far away lived a car company that was shy about taking your money and wanted to be sure that they gave you more that you asked for so that you'd come back. No really, not a fairytale. 😱   But after the field got thinned out enough to limit the competition it seemed good enough to give you only what you asked for. Fair enough I say but in such a market you have to give something the others are not or they go to the one who does. Gimmicks or glitz. Oh, fins and chrome. Yea, shinny crow like cars. Yum.    Field narrows a bit more and 'brand loyalty' becomes a thing and the minute it does they start thinking to themselves, "Could we make more money if we gave them less than they expect and they will hang in there for brand and comfort with the known?" They gave it a try and da*n, it worked!!    Well, what if we teach them, groom them into believing that less is "Normal" and cut some more corners. Will that work? Oh heck yea!    🤔 I wonder, can we give then WAY less than they expect and make them mad enough to spit nails and STILL get them to pay up? Sure, if we get everyone else to do the same so that the choice is less or nothing at all. How would be do that? Platform sharing.  What a concept, right?  Steal like there is no tomorrow and it's legal too!    Truth is no one is going to give up driving, not for very long. The Gen Z crowd is fine with it and will be as long as someone not Gen Z will haul them around. At some point we all die.    Economic voting only works if you cast a NO vote now and again and enough of them to get dumb and dumber to wise up. Well, that's how I was taught anyway. And it should have worked. Would have worked. But the Bail out!!   Look, you have another choice if  you take that bag off your head. If the dumb it down to some predetermined expectation of how John Q Public will use it the, that is under design it to failure they you use it to a lower stress mode. D'ho!    A 1950 Royal Enfield Bullet 500 will go anywhere a Suzuki Hayabusa will and for just as long. But you will have to treat it for what it is and not for what you wish it was. 
    • Maybe I was just too unlucky, but I had nothing but bad luck with Bridgestones. Out of 3 sets, they all started losing a lot of air when they got down to about 1/2 tread life, and at that point also wet traction suffered more than it should have. Also, the only tire I ever had in my 60 years of driving that had a side wall blow out was a Bridgestone.   I'm currently running Goodyear Wrangler Workhorse AT and am very happy with them.   
    • maybe when the trip is over, check all the other joints in the front end, like all the ball joints, tie rods, pitman & idler arms, etc...
    • Thks, and actually it was my bad, because here in this post there is someone showing the correct wire position as well. My bad... But thank you a lot with the help as well. I was able to find and buy a 10 channel VPM that came from a sister silverado of mine. The same year, same mode, same trim, same everything. 2022 Silverado 1500 LTD LTZ (pre-refresh). I also found to buy just the bottom mirror part that has the cameras, so way cheap than the full mirror. + a used front camera. I did test everything together, cameras, cables and the VPM.... everything worked EXCEPT my original Bed camera and the backup grid lines. I think the reason is because now I need to do the VPM reprogram. I sent a msg White Automotive & Media Service to confirm that it is the problem and that they can do it service for me case.   Once I get it 100% done I will post here result....
