The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV introduces an all-new, all-electric variant of the popular Chevy Blazer nameplate, offering customers a wide variety of trim levels and configurations. Naturally, some customers will want to use the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV for the usual utility vehicle-style activities, such as towing. As such, GM Authority is breaking down the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV towing capacities.
As it turns out, only three of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV configurations are recommended for towing. These include the 2LT with AWD, and the RS with either rear-wheel drive or AWD. The 2024 Chevy Blazer EV RS with rear-wheel drive is rated at 3,500 pounds (1,588 kg), which is the highest max trailer weight rating of the lineup, while the 2LT with AWD and the RS with AWD are both rated at a maximum of 1,500 pounds (680 kg). The rest of the lineup is not recommended for towing. Meanwhile, the Chevy Blazer EV PPV (Police Pursuit Vehicle) offered to law enforcement has a maximum tow rating of 3,500 pounds (1,588 kg).
Check out the table below for a more thorough breakdown of the 2024 Chevy Blazer EV towing capacities:

Here in the Northeast, an SUV without AWD brings you a low trade-in value. The majority here are AWD, so with a 1500 lb. tow limit and decreased battery range while towing, my opinion is to get a better tool for the job.
Not a Chevy Silverado here. But yes, it would be nice to tow 3500lb with an AWD. The Lyriq can RWD and AWD can tow 3500lb.
Some here have 2 cars to make up for no 4 wd….and use it when they need it only. I for one would get he RWD for its higher mileage and tow capacity considering the winters have become milder and I dont drive unless I aboslutely have to during a storm which is the only time its needed and if I did I have vehicle 2. 4WD always is over rated for its few time needs. Now if your working a lot during storms…yes but many either delay going in, work at home or or or or and therefore dont need 4WD just to have it more so than real need…IMHO.
eAWD uses an induction motor, so it will use no power when not in use.
Not to mention that with a 3500 lb trailer attached, it can accelerate to 60mph in 2.3 seconds for a total distance of 1/4 mile , then no more battery power. Totally useless for serious towing.
The Fast Lane Truck did a video where they used a Ford Lightening to tow a 6400 lb trailer and they got a whopping 89 miles on a full charge, not to mention it took over 45 minutes to get back to a little over 3/4 full charge.. I was talking to some truck drivers and they said they tested a Peterbilt Electric Truck and they got a little over 200 miles towing. These auto manufacturers shouldn’t highlight the towing capabilities on EV’s until they figure out how to get them to tow more miles between charges.
So, basically no tow.
Maybe all of the EV manufactures (including GM of course) might offer a “Special Tow Package” that includes some kind of a trailer with some sort of a generator (maybe solar powered?) that you could take with you as you attempt to increase your ability to traverse more miles. As I see more EV charging stations going up all over here in SoCal I also see more EV’s taking advantage of using them whenever possible, however…and here is the rub with these things…EV’s are sometimes having to “line up” in order to use them and of course they’d have to sometimes wait their turn in line cause “charging up” isn’t like using a gas station where for the most part you just pull into any one of many choices (you usually choose the most cost friendly near you but YOU CAN USE ANY GASOLINE STATION available anywhere you are, no waiting in line, so far anyway) and you could be back driving onto your set destination or just out for a Sunday Cruise or anywhere you have to go without any real concern for your next gas station visit because you know there will be multiple choices no matter where you are! I’m still not convinced that “EV’s” are our future means of energy for transportation, maybe some other sort of or means of energy because it usually takes “a lot of energy to produce…a lot of energy” and we, so far have no real means of doing this without using some means of “energy producing system that isn’t as clean as pure electricity”, what a conundrum! Sounds silly I know, but “energy ain’t free” and it ain’t totally clean of some sort of emissions either! Sheesh!
3500lbs, 100 miles. Grreeeeat…
It would be nice to just see the car in some volume GM!
So, a Chevy “Blazer” that can neither go off road or tow. A waste of a proud name. Their line of multiple EV models wearing the “Camaro” name will ruin the next great nameplate.
While I agree that the Tahoe should wear the Blazer nametag and the Yukon should have been called Jimmy, it’s time to move on from the “it’s not a real Blazer” comments. Life is too short to sweat the small stuff.
Chevy is going to miss sales because of these tow numbers. Every mid size suv should be able to tow 3,500pds. If not more. Typically gm. Life time gm guy that keeps getting disappointed, sad!
Something tells me that the people buying electric high-roof station wagons are not concerned about towing capacity.
Isn’t The Tesla Model Y rated to tow 3,500 pounds? Isn’t the Tesla one of the cars that the Blazer EV is going to be shopped against and compared to? Why on earth would you derate the towing capacity for the eAWD model? GM is making some really bad decisions here If these numbers prove to be final.
