2026 Chevrolet Blazer 3LT: Monroe Buyers Guide

The trim for people who spend time inside the car

Everything on the 2LT comes along: heated front seats, remote start, dual-zone climate control, the 10.2-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and the Chevy Safety Assist suite. What the 3LT changes is the surface you touch. Perforated leather seating replaces the base upholstery, and premium interior accents dress up the dash and doors. If your Blazer is going to be a commuter, a school-run vehicle, and the thing you road-trip in, that's where a $5,400 step up in MSRP shows up each day.

The other practical addition is the power programmable liftgate. You can set how far it opens, which matters in a garage with a low ceiling, and anyone who has ever juggled a coffee, a backpack, and a dog leash will see the point. Auto-dimming exterior mirrors with turn signals round out the changes for everyday use.

Looks, colors, and wheels

The 3LT also gets its own styling options. A black two-tone roof is available, the wheels step up in size from the 2LT's 18-inch set, and a few colors are exclusive to this trim, including Riptide Blue Metallic, Sterling Gray Metallic, and Summit White. The Midnight/Sport Edition appearance package is available too, for buyers who want more black trim without going to the RS. In the Pacific Northwest, where so many cars arrive in a gray-on-gray spectrum, a blue Blazer can be easy to spot in a packed lot.

Drivetrain and efficiency

There's no drivetrain surprise here. The 3LT uses the same 228-horsepower, 258 lb-ft turbo four as the 2LT, with 22 city, 29 highway, and 25 combined mpg from the EPA when front-wheel drive is chosen, and 22, 27, and 24 with AWD. Fuel is regular unleaded. The AWD on this trim is Chevrolet's standard system rather than the Advanced Twin-Clutch design, which is reserved for the RS. Towing is rated at up to 3,250 pounds, and the V6 stays an RS-only option. Cargo volume is 64.2 cubic feet with the rear seats folded.

So who's the 3LT for? Someone who likes the Blazer's size and safety features, doesn't need the V6, and would rather have leather and a power liftgate than a black-wheel sport look. It's the middle path, and plenty of buyers land there.

What Speedway Chevrolet buyers say

Reviews for the dealership lean heavily on the people behind the desk. Sharon K., who bought a certified pre-owned Blazer, described how "Shane took my call and got me in for a test drive," and that "Damon did the research and found a rate that I could work with." She mentioned too that "When I stepped in to the parts department for a touch up pen, it was in stock." Both Shane Hagans and Damon Brown are on the staff page. Across 1,145 reviews the average is 4.7 stars.
