Re: looking at getting a new vehicle
I ran blazers since high school (20years)! I think they are great. Parts are everywhere and interchangable with the same pickup design. But, keep in mind, fuel mileage! I now run a jeep wrangler, much lighter to tow, and better on fuel. A normal k-5 weighs in around 5500-5700lbs. My jeep with full- size axles and a small block, weighs 4000. A blazer with a bunch of bolt- ons, a Dana 60 and a bunch of crap in the back, will hit 6000 easy. I like them both, just had to lightin' up a little.

Re: looking at getting a new vehicle
I'm wrong about the weight of a factory, I said normal, Blazer. They averaged 4500 lbs. Mine always had lots of extras. I never saw less than 5700-5800 on the scales. My last one weighs 4800. But it is pretty much tube and one layer of sheet metal.

Re: looking at getting a new vehicle
look for a 78/79 f.s. bronco. try to shy away from the sissor (ttb) front axle. they r a smooth ride but, they have lots of issues. at least 78/79 broncs u got a soild front dana44 and rear 9" is tough as nails. not only that those 2 years r badass looking to boot. nothing against blazers but, I prefer 79 or older broncos. I now have a 78 bronc and it is killer...

Re: looking at getting a new vehicle
Traitor. You need to get back in a Nissan. Unless you want to blend in.
