A LEGACY THAT SPANS DECADES

Finding a vehicle that you can completely place your trust in might seem impossible. And while the SUV boom continues its meteoric rise all around us, many offerings are still relatively new in their respective runs. Even many "veterans" of the class only began their production runs in the mid to late 1990s. The Blazer precedes these pretenders by a considerable amount. First launched in 1969, the Blazer holds a unique position in the history of the SUV as one of the earliest incarnations of the class.

This first version of the vehicle possessed a longevity that was tested thoroughly by events completely beyond its control. Through the energy crisis of the 1970s and the growing need for smaller, compact vehicles, through the flashy 1980s where style replaced substance. The Blazer's first run would wrap up in 1994, around the same time that other manufacturers were just getting their SUVs off the production lines and on the road. The second incarnation of the Blazer was a more compact model and offered a variety of options and advantages to a multitude of drivers who found several uses for the vehicle. The smaller Blazer, along with its sibling, the GMC Jimmy, was somewhat sportier than its previous incarnations and even offered off-road packages such as the ZR2.

Powertrain-wise, the vehicle was somewhat ahead of its time in terms of equipping itself with smaller engines and not the monstrous V8s that were synonymous with many of the offerings from competitors such as Ford. Making use of a variety of four-cylinder and V6 options is standard practice now, but the move spoke to Chevy thinking ahead of the curve and not strictly adhering to trends and convention. Sadly, all things must come to an end, and the Chevy Blazer would be discontinued in 2005. Greatness can't stay dormant for too long, and the vehicle would make a comeback in 2019, this time as a mid-size crossover that was more in line with the needs of the modern consumer. And today, a whole new generation of drivers are blazing new trails in Chevy's iconic SUV. 2023 Chevy Blazer For the 2023 model year, the Chevy Blazer is once again asserting its dominance to maintain its place at the top of the mountain. Competitive priced among rivals such as the Ford Edge and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the Blazer has a new focus on style and performance that far outshines the competition in every sense of the word. With its sensuous curves, jet black grill, and an interior that's modeled after the racing cockpit of the Chevy Camaro and is now anchored by a standard 10.2-inch infotainment center, the 2023 Blazer demands attention and commands
