The mid-size luxury SUV that was a TrailBlazer with a Buick badge—a comfortable, powerful, and reliable SUV that was a hit with families. It’s a forgotten Buick.

The Rainier is reliable. The 4.2L Atlas I6 is a great engine—it’s a DOHC, inline-six, reliable. The 5.3L V8 is bulletproof. The 4L60E is a good transmission. The Rainier is a reliable luxury SUV.
