Trailblazer mule? Not much camo, so I'd suspect if this is the U.S. spec trailblazer, it's not the production body.
https://www.motor1.com/news/350122/c...er-mule-spied/ They say it will be based on the Colorado / Canyon structure....we'll see. I don't know what to think. A real rugged truck based Trailblazer sounds cool, but I'm not convinced there is a big market for it. If they are going to go all out, and make this a viable Jeep / Bronco competitor, then sure. Otherwise, why bother?

It's a mule for something but who knows what. They're assuming that a 2nd gen TrailBlazer mule + the $1 billion Wentzville expansion = 3rd gen NA market TrailBlazer. It's grasping, but we can hope.

No MCE for 2020 midsize trucks.

Bummer. Oh well. Not a big surprise now.... Thought maybe they might sneak 10 speed in there.

Why does it seem like GM is very slowly rolling out the A10 but Ford was able to slap it into just about everything it fits in already?

I'm guessing with new trucks rumored for 2021 or 2022 and Colorado still winning every midsize truck comparison, GM figured it could soldier on.

GM had just finished getting its 8-speed up to capacity when they started adding the 10-speed capacity. They were not going to just roll up the 8-speed and toss it away [insert shudder comments here]. So programs would need to be prioritized based on which would have the most FE impact and which would have the most revenue impact. Expect that vehicles that have only recently received an 8-speed would be towards the back of the line for 10-speed unless the move from 8 to 10 would make a big difference in FE or $$.

Assuming (big assumption here) if the recent fluid change actually does fix the 8 speed, and that is no longer an issue, then I think the GM mid-size trucks are downright excellent as I can't come up with any other widely known issues they have now. Compared to my 2015 model (which I like a lot) a loaner 2018 model I drove with the newer V6 and 8 speed felt quicker (especially off the line and throttle tip-in) and was still a joy to drive. Just a little shocked this day in age that there has not been an MCE yet, but I still wouldn't be surprised to see a change for 2021. Chevy has done MCEs on models before even one year before a new generation, but at this point I just feel like they are going to ride this one out until the 3rd generation arrives.
