2001 Chevrolet Blazer Review
The Blazer marches on.
2001 Blazer Review Summary & Specifications
The Blazer is one of the reasons so many people use a sport-utility in place of a car. It will do everything a car will do, and almost as well. Plus it adds almost unstoppable mobility in the worst weather and the capability to go where the roads don't. The LT offers a long list of standard equipment popular with buyers, meaning no excuses in day-to-day use or when trading it in. Although with a list like the Blazer's, that day won't have to come too soon?unless it's to step into the Blazer's replacement.
