To be honest do you really think many people would but something like this anymore. I love older blazers but now all people care about is gas Mileage and ride comfort.
You right I born 1973 and I enjoy the late 70s the all 80s and 90s those times was awesome music cars outfits I really see the bad changes after September 11 2001.
Many years ago, I had an 84 GMC Jimmy. Same thing as a K5 Blazer. 305 4bbl and 3.08 gears with automatic overdrive was definitely not efficient! Sluggish power and 11 mpg!! Those were the days!!
My parents had a 4 wheel drive suburban, they traded it for a dealer demo GMC Safari awd and later a real "mini" van. They kept the Safari until a few years ago, I inherited it. Still I would have loved to have an old square body. Ironically they downgraded to save on fuel in the mid 90's.. that old Safari was never that much better on gas. She's a fairly thirsty old beast for what it is. But, at least it's equally reliable.
I remember the 1st Blazer My wife got it was a S10 4x4 1988 her 2nd one was a 2003 S10 4x4 & the one she has now is a 07 Trail Blazer, she said she will never go back to a car! thanks for the video
Had an 84 S10 Blazer 4x4 with a 5 speed manual trans this thing would go anywhere never got stuck. Sold it in 1998. Should have kept it regretting it now.
It's weird seeing these vehicles with stock tires and suspension. Now a days just about every single one has been jacked up 18 feet off the ground and basically has monster truck tires on it.
@@shortbedgameskreshfulloffi1826 mine has a 4 inch lift on it that was installed on it in the late 80s, I want to lift it 2 more inches but I don't want to mess with the nostalgia lol
I had a 84 C10 Scottsdale. It had the optional locking rear differential. I remember I had to back it up to make it pop out of lock to get going forward without the thing grenading. Also that locking differential helped me break the left side axle right in to two pieces. Never trusted that thing.
5.0 with only 160hp lol. you can tell these were the days when car companies were still yet to figure out how create alot of hp while staying in the emission requirements.
like always?..then why is ford the truck leader since 1977 ...why was it ford who had the bronco before chevy had the blazer...same goes with the ranchero was out before el'camino ....and mustang before camaro
What happened to the Blazer vs Bronco and Pickups from Chevy and Ford From 1980? Or I confusing your channel with someone else is please it its your channel I really liked seeing that video.
love the blazer especially k5 ,they were better than even toyotas apart from just reliability ! The new blazer is no way a blazer ! Made only for the soccer moms and gays ! The K5 is a real blazer ,made like a scout's horse !
Richard Noggin Wait, so they're garbage, and you know this because you worked on them? LOL. That doesn't sound nearly as good out loud as it did in your head, I'm guessing.
