1995 Chevrolet Blazer LS review from North America
"Incredibly dependable, capable, and drive-able SUV"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
My alternator went out at 170,000 miles.
My water pump went out at 190,000 miles.
My thermostat went out at 210,000 miles.
General comments?
My S-10 Blazer has reached 220,000 miles and hasn't given me any serious trouble.
With the exception of routine maintenance (tires, oil, spark plugs, etc.) I have spent under $300 on repairs (doing all the work myself).
If you know anything about cars and how to take care of them, this is as tough a vehicle as you will find. My blazer has been through a lot and still runs smoother than my friends 2002 F-150 with 15,000mi.
I would drive it anywhere without thinking twice.
The last 50,000 miles have been pushing over-sized all-terrain tires. Still no problems, no lack of ability.
