The best all round SUV.
Everything about the First Gen Blazer is pretty good being that it's the little brother of the K5 Blazer it's very comfortable and it has extraordinary leg room and head room for it being small. (and I'm about 6'1") The possible reason for this is because of the blazer's square body nature. The performance and reliability are pretty good considering that one particular engine directly comparable to the 5.7L V8 the other engines however are more anemic in power. Fuel economy is about 18 mpg combined. The original msrp of the blazer at the time of 1989 is appx. $13,510 in today's money that is about 33k that is pretty expensive for the time but the price has retained half of it's value over it's many years. Interior design has a couple different designs in both color and components. The color ranges from red, blue, and black. Component wise the blazer has 4x4 variants, cruise control, even a digital dash. Upgradability of the Blazer is pretty wide ranging from cosmetic changes to performance enhancing changes. Overall the Blazer is everything that I want it to be a SUV that can both commute but do also have a little fun now and again.

Some things are just right.
I bought my 92 S 10 Blazer in Northern Id., moved to N central Nh.. then upstate NY. Blizzard, sub-zero cold, ice or messy back roads. This was a great vehicle. The big V6 was just right for me and extremely reliable I miss it every day. I wish I still had it . I love Frame on frame David P.
