One of the biggest complaints I have read about the Blazer are the Continental tires. It's reported that they don't last long and handle horribly in the snow. First thing that I will replace when my LT3 comes in. Also getting the V6 because they are better made. A turbo causes extra wear on engine components and are expensive to replace.
Just got the '22 and my comment above is pretty passionate given my experience the past year... Mine came w/ 20" wheels (Michelin tires) and that added inch upgrade on the wheel for $450 is *not worth it, and stiffens the ride... Congrats on your purchase! Although these numbers are still inflated (even in the climate today) ... I finally found a strait up dealer... it's no Mistake they're the leading GM/Chevy dealer in the country by how I was treated... (i think they literally just slipped to #2) in both customer review, ease, pricing etc... I'm excited for you my friend.... Some dealers are trying to cling on the "chip shortage stories" that GM doesn't let stop production. They label it as a recall, keep the line moving, and when the chip arrives, put it in... For example my 2022 Blazer RS needed a passenger seat air cooled chip, and a rear passenger sensor chip... So don't let them tell you otherwise.
I haven't bought anything yet, but I did place my order for one last May. Still waiting. It has been stated that the 2023 model will have all necessary chips. I hope so, because I am not going to take possession of anything unless it is 100%. I hope you enjoy your 22.
I just purchased one of the last '22 RS Black on Jet Black in my area and I tested the Silver '23 and I saw changes I did not like... They're going away from the Camaro inspired lines...

Shout out to the #1 Chevy dealer in the Country "BANKS GMC/Chevy/Buick of Concord, NH and to Jeff, who wasn't playing any "low inventory games..." GM labels missing chips as a RECALL... So don't let anyone tell you that's hurting supply... They specifically did NOT stop production, and will install the chip as available... for example, on the one I bought... The Passenger cooling and back right sensor chip was delayed, and put in before I bought it last Friday w/ 53 miles on it.. "Five- Three" '22....
