What is the difference between a Blazer LT and Blazer 2LT?

The Blazer lineup does not include a factory-equivalent “2LT” trim in current production. Chevrolet advertises Blazer trims as L, LT, RS and Premier. If you encounter a listing that says “2LT,” it is likely a mislabel or a dealer-added package rather than an official Chevrolet trim.

In this article, we’ll lay out the official trim structure of the Blazer, explain what each trim typically includes, and clarify how to handle listings that use the “2LT” designation. The goal is to help you understand what you’re actually getting when you shop for a Blazer, and why “2LT” is not a standard, current option.

Official Blazer Trim Levels

The following overview reflects Chevrolet’s contemporary Blazer lineup. Feature availability can vary by model year and market.

L (base): The entry point, offering essential features and basic connectivity and safety tech at the lowest price point.

LT (mid-level): Adds more comfort, convenience, and technology over the base L, with additional options and wheel design choices.

RS (sport): Distinctive styling and interior/exterior cues aimed at a sportier look and feel, with available upgrades for performance-inspired features.

Premier (top): The highest level of equipment, delivering premium interior, enhanced driver aids, and the most convenience features available from Chevrolet for the Blazer.

Across these trims, buyers can typically select from additional option packages and engines, with feature content varying by year. When comparing trims, focus on the exact equipment list and the model year to ensure you’re comparing equivalent configurations.

What to Do If You See “2LT” on a Blazer Ad

Because “2LT” is not an official Blazer trim label, listings with that designation usually reflect a mislabeling or a dealer-installed package rather than a distinct factory trim. Here’s how to verify what you’re actually getting.

Check the exact trim designation on the vehicle’s window sticker (Monroney) or the dealer’s documentation to confirm the official trim and any added packages.

Compare the listed features with Chevrolet’s LT specifications for the same model year; if there is a genuine “2LT” configuration, the features should align with a known package description—or the dealer should clarify it as a separate option.

Ask the dealer to explain what is included in the “2LT” label and whether it is leather seating, upgraded interior features, or another add-on.

Evaluate price differences: see whether the features you want can be obtained by selecting LT with standard options or by upgrading to Premier, rather than accepting a non-standard label.

For used vehicles, review the vehicle history and obtain a clear list of equipment to avoid mislabeling or VIN mismatches.

In practice, shoppers seeking LT-level equipment with extra comfort typically opt for LT with available packages or step up to Premier for the full feature set. The factory “2LT” designation is not part of Chevrolet’s current Blazer lineup, so treat it as something to verify rather than a guaranteed trim.

Summary

Bottom line: There is no current Blazer 2LT trim offered by Chevrolet. The official lineup consists of L, LT, RS and Premier, with optional packages that can add features. If a listing uses the term “2LT,” verify the exact equipment on the window sticker and confirm with the dealer to avoid confusion. When shopping, prioritize the official trim name and its documented feature set to ensure you’re comparing equivalent configurations.
