    Trailblazer for Tow Vehicle?

    because that would have cost GM money and statistically most people who own SUV's do not tow anything. Just like most 4x4's or AWD's never climb anything more than a curb to a back-yard party.

    Engine Overspeed?

    Your MPI engine is run by the ECU. The ECU has fuel mapping that stops at about 5400 RPM. The spark mapping stops there as well. So the motor will never be able to reach a higher RPM on its own as it stops fueling and spark.
