How do you know without test driving it?

It’s a lot better then the H3, but it only makes 270 HP and 330 lb-ft torque. The SS Trailblazer has 391 HP and 395 lb-ft of torque if your looking for on-road performance the SS Trailblazer is the GM SUV you should be looking at.

Gearing effects acceleration. According to GM the H3 will do 0-60 in 8.9 seconds. Find a H3 with the Adventure package(it has the best gearing) and try it before you buy the Toyota.
