I agree. Any Blazer or Jimmy needs to be based on a truck platform. Period. Full stop.

Certainly not what I think of as a blazer but depending on its size, it’s something I’ll look at as a possible replacement for our equinox

Ford is brining back the Bronco in 2020, and from all reports it's gonna be good. GM needs to hire some new designers.

And real frames underneath them too.

My friend Bob had one like that except blue back in the late 70s/early 80s.

We busted his chops when he bought Dick Cepek Fun Country tires for it. They did work well off road but I wouldn't have put the white letters out

My wife has dubbed it "The Matchbox Cruiser". She says it is Rong, Rong, Rong. I agree for once.

Starting at the base of the hill and accelerating hard up the incline launched that K5 about 6 feet in the air and 20 feet out. Landings were so harsh the choke would slam closed, stalling the truck. That damn thing must have absorbed 20 of those flights... and lived to haul him off to college!
