The 2022 Chevy Blazer crossover is set to introduce a few important changes and updates over the current 2021 model year, as GM Authority has covered previously. Now, we have another update to add to the list, namely the deletion of the cargo floor rail system.
Previously, the cargo floor rail system was available in the Blazer crossover since the model launched for the 2019 model year, and included an adjustable cargo fence that could slide forward and backward, providing an adjustable storage solution.
The cargo floor rail system was tagged with RPO code RAE, and was offered as an available option on the Chevy Blazer RS, and standard on the Chevy Blazer Premier. Pricing was set at $150 in the RS, and required the Enhanced Convenience Package (RPO code ZL8), which costs $1,660.
Now, however, with the debut of the 2022 Chevy Blazer, the cargo floor rail system will be removed from the Blazer lineup.
The 2022 Chevy Blazer is the fourth model year of the crossover. In addition to deletion of the cargo floor rail system, the 2022 Blazer will also lose the base-level L and second-tier 1LT trim levels. Both trims were available exclusively with the naturally aspirated 2.5L I4 LCV gasoline engine, which will also be removed from the Blazer lineup with the introduction of the 2022 model year.
With the deletion of the L and 1LT trim levels, the V92 trailering package will be standard across the lineup, with front-wheel drive models offering the package as optional, and all-wheel drive models offering it as standard. Additionally, the package will be available with the turbocharged 2.0L I4 LSY gasoline engine, increasing the towing capacity for models equipped with the LSY from 1,500 pounds to 3,500 pounds.
What’s more, 2022 Chevy Blazer Premier trims will arrive with refreshed exterior details, including revisions to the front and rear lower fascias, new wheel designs, wheel moldings, and rockers.

Typical pay more get less.
Tony your not getting less… It’s an $150 dollar option. It seems more gimmicky to me anyway. I love you people who still think that GM “makes” everything that they put in their cars it’s most likely a supplier issue or the cost went up on that part…not for nothing I have never heard of anyone rave about this feature.
It was a standard feature in 2019 in RS and Premier trims and it was well advertised in sales litterature. Then it became optional in RS in 2020 and for both RS and Premier trims in 2021 and now for 2022, not available anymore. Too bad because this feature made it possible to differentiate the Blazer from the competition. Personally, I don’t ”rave” about it but find it very usefull and I use the system almost every time I carry objects and use the rails to attacch my bumper protector. I would definitely take this option again for my next vehicule if available and even that I would be willing to pay over $ 150 to have it. There are people who pay over $ 500 for options that are of no use.
This same piece came with my 2019 XT5. Took it out after the first week and has been sitting in the garage ever since. Glad it was removable, worthless.
Who cares.
You can keep this made in Mexico gM product.
Change the name to General Mexico. They are among the leaders in vehicle production in that country. Pay workers $2/hr and the car costs 40K++. I wonder is merry has actually ever stepped foot in that country.
