luremaker Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 Ok I'm looking for inputThe wife and i are looking to give our car to my first year collage student to drive back and forth from big rapids,when she wants to come home.So we now have to find a new ride, I have been looking at the GMC envoys I really like the looks, But I hear the 4.2 suck for gas mileage.I have also looked at the trailblazer but perfer the GMC. Any one out there have one of these and what are you getting for mpg's and will it pull a 19 foot boat?Any input is great.Thanks'luremaker
Special K Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 My wife has a trailblazer with the 4.2. Not as "doggy" as the old 4.3 but she maybe gets 15-16 mpg. We have towed a 17ft flatbottom duck boat with it and it did fine.
Line Dancin Posted August 1, 2013 Posted August 1, 2013 My wife had one and with a stiff tailwind it would get 15. We watched the mileage and that was one deciding factor to not buy out the lease. In 4 wd during witer storms it would drop to 12-13 mpg. My GMC 1500 Z71 with the mid sized 8 gets better mileage than that thing did. It would two our pop up which is a bigger heavier pop up just fine.
