What Owners are Saying About the 1996 Chevrolet Blazer

"Overall a great vehicle"

"I have owned my Blazer for 13 years. Had 77k when I got it, has 234k now. The front ends are known to be a bit problematic in these and mine has been no different. That said, in 13 years it has broken down just twice (fuel pump, both times). It is a definite workhorse. I've towed some heavy loads on numerous occasions without any issue. The 4 wheel drive is great in the snow and it goes offroad surprisingly well in its stock configuration. Overall I am pleased with the vehicles performance, reliability and comfort. Gas mileage isn't great though."

"Will Get Another!"

"I was apprehensive about getting a larger vehicle but, I am TOTALLY impressed with my 2003 Chevy Blazer! It has NEVER failed me, is very comfortable, and an easy vehicle to drive/park. I will replace it with another Chevy SUV if it ever needs to be, but I hope this one goes on and on and on."

"Very Good SUV and has lasted for ever."
