The 2023 Chevy Trailblazer is set to arrive as the third model year of the latest third-generation nameplate, which was initially introduced as an all-new small crossover for the 2021 model year in the United States. Now, GM Authority has learned when production of the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer will start.
According to GM Authority sources, production of the 2023 Chevy Trailblazer will start on April 24th. The Trailblazer is currently produced at two locations, including at the GM Bupyeong plant in Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, South Korea, and the GM China Dong Yue plant in Yantai, Shandong, China.
The Chevy Trailblazer is offered with two engine options, namely the turbocharged 1.2L inline three-cylinder LIH gasoline engine, which produces 137 horsepower at 5,000 rpm and 162 pound-feet of torque at 2,500 rpm, and the turbocharged 1.3L inline three-cylinder L3T gasoline engine, which produces 155 horsepower at 5,600 rpm and 174 pound-feet of torque at 1,500 rpm. The 1.2L LIH connects to GM’s continuously variable automatic transmission, while the 1.3L L3T connects to either the CVT the GM nine-speed automatic transmission.
Under the skin, the Chevy Trailblazer rides on top of the GM VSS-F vehicle set.
As GM Authority covered previously, General Motors is changing up how dealers order the Chevy Trailblazer crossover, as well as the Chevy Trax. Previously, dealers would order both crossovers using the traditional “consensus” model wherein dealers would request which vehicles they wanted from the factory. This was done at regular intervals (or order cycles, aka DOSP) and gave dealers a good amount of say in which vehicles they got.
By comparison, General Motors is now moving to a “port consensus” model for the Chevy Trailblazer and Chevy Trax, wherein General Motors builds the vehicles it thinks are needed, then ships the vehicles to port, with dealers then selecting which vehicles they would like.
Also noteworthy is the Chevy Trailblazer’s recent reliability performance, with Consumer Reports giving the Trailblazer a tying score for most reliable new vehicle.

Awesome news!
Now everyone who ordered a 2022 MY has a confirmed date when they will receive theirs. 😜👍🏻
#FANTASTIC
not true. Ordered in December and now said it will not come in. you get whatever Chevrolet decides to send. Pretty sad.
well my trailblazer arrived at dealer yesterday, and with heated seats, ordered on dec 4th and i saw three transports loaded on my way to dealer this morning. keep the faith .
Glad to hear that. Been waiting on mine, dealer order reserved October 6th. In January was told it had arrived at port, estimated delivery date 2/10 to 2/14. Early last week salesman said about 2/20. The other day I mentioned that I had applied for GM Financing (I intended to pay cash, but must finance for local rebate this month), he said, “oh I hope it comes before March then.” Pretty much everything within 100 miles has been saying “In Transit”, since January. Seems like a slow trickle. Our vehicles are transported out of Chicago area distribution hubs.
Where did you order from? Do you care to share the details of what you ordered on your trailblazer? I am trying to figure out what might be the hold up on my trailblazer. Thank you!
Just picked it up this afternoon. It was dropped off at the dealer Monday evening. Milwaukee metro area. 2022 AWD Crimson Red. Has technology, sunroof/liftgate, driver confidence, and drive convenience packages. Pretty much every option, except for some accessories, which can be purchased separately. It did make it through with the heated seats & steering wheel.
I put my deposit down yesterday. Was told it would be ordered in April but, that production has stopped on the 2022’s and will have to wait until June when the 2023 Trailblazers go into production.
Melissa, I think in the last few days there was an update that production will start in April. Mine was scheduled for November production, got it in February. Have you considered any 2022’s that are incoming? RIght now, there are almost 4,000 units showing at the Chevrolet inventory site – most are “in transit”, so that should mean that they have landed in the US. When I got mine, inventory was running about 1400 units. You can sort by color, options, distance from your city, etc. We really love our RS AWD. Worth the wait. I would post the link, but then the comment goes into moderation, and I don’t think they get seen by the site administrator.
My salesman ran the model/options I wanted and none came up. There are 29 people ahead of me that ordered 2022’s. Some are having to switch to 2023’s now too.
I was wondering what you are looking for, exactly? I got my Trailblazer RS AWD with all 4 major option packages. I did an inventory search (nationwide) and see that there are 64 “In Transit” – equipped exactly like mine – 12 of them in my color – Crimson Red. In my 100 mile radius of dealers, there are 213 Trailblazers of all types listed, but only 3 are in stock at the dealers. I had an awesome salesman, 10 years on the job, 2nd time I bought from him. He liked dealing with me, because I shared everything I learned at this site – I knew things before he did. In fact I saw mine come up “In Transit” a few hours before he got to his updates. My concern is that you are being “taken off the market” – as long as they have you “on hold” they don’t have to worry that you are going to get something else somewhere else.
Ordered my 2022 trailblazer activ in may. The dealer l am working with says they don’t know when or if I will ever see it. Not a great way to retain customers.
GM again telling the customer what they want and need..
I ordered my trailblazer in October 2021. My dealership says that my order has still not been accepted by GM and that they are not accepting orders right now. Are they telling me something wrong? I see your orders are being accepted and produced. Any idea what I should do?
