Chevrolet Blazer 4.3

The Chevrolet Blazer is one of the most popular and powerful SUVs from five consecutive decades, The 4.3 litre petrol produces 193bhp and 250 lb ft of torque and all this is directed through four-speed automatic gearbox, however a five-speed manual was available in entry-level LS model which is a two door model. Its Autotrac system automatically engages four-wheel drive when you need it. The Blazer can hit 0 to 60mph in about 10sec only and all this is consistent throughout its lifetime.
The luxurious four doors LT model upgraded with leather upholstery, power driver seat and overhead console but inside environment doesn't feel especially American. The lack of centre three-point safety belt on the rear seat is an inconvenience, but at least all used Blazers are equipped with air-conditioning, cruise control and alloys on both LS and LT models.
The Blazer's handling seems sloppy and its turning circle wide. Faults include spotty build quality and low-grade interior plastics. The addition of a second airbag is very important in light of the Blazer's very poor NHTSA (National Highway Traffic Safety Administration) one-star frontal crash test score for the passenger in prior years.
But at last, this 4x4 has been going strong in the US since the early 1980s as it works well on-road and off-road.
