Overview

Chevrolet introduced the Chevy Blazer SUV in 1983. Prior to that, the Chevrolet K-5 Blazer existed, but it was a large truck that eventually changed its name to Tahoe. In 1983, Chevrolet modified its S-10 pickup truck and gave it rear passenger seats and an enclosed rear space, modified it toward the sporty market segment, shrank it a little to give it a manageable size - and one of the first SUVs was born.
The Chevy Blazer's base model was just that - base transportation (vinyl seats, stark interior), but its Tahoe and Sports models progressed up the "fancy" ladder, adding cloth seats, nicer interior trim, and so on. In 1987, a single serpentine belt replaced separate belts for the power steering, alternator, and air conditioning (which was still an option, not standard). The 2.5-liter, 92-hp, 4-cylinder engine featured new cylinder heads and intake manifold for smoother operation, though it didn't gain power. A 6-cylinder, 4-liter, 173-hp engine was optional.
Speaking of options, Chevrolet came out with a "High Country" exterior paint option mid-year, with a shiny black top melting into gold color below, with gold body trim. Other options included air conditioning, an AM/FM stereo system, and a tilt steering wheel.
People who have owned '87 Chevy Blazers generally report that the truck is reliable, tough, and fearless, going anywhere the driver points it. Some say it has a rough, uncomfortable ride, has insufficient engine power for hills and towing, and has a serious rust problem.

Started out as the family vacation vehicle. I inherited it after replacing a blown engine in high school. Can't do anything too crazy with it, but a good base for a later buildup into a capable hunting/trail rig.

Solid SUV for everything in its time. A lot of fun when you take the top off. A very capable off-roader, If you don't mind the MPG. It was built strong and almost nothing could hurt it, except the rock that I collided with. Living in a warmer climate the fun factor is high. Mine was carburated, I would highly suggest a fuel injected engine. There is loads of aftermarket support if you want to lift it or resore them.

I love my truck it is fun to drive and being an ex military truck is very tough. It has a tbi 350 and an 4 speed auto in it. Right now it has 31 inch tires on it but im hopeing to have 33's and a soft top on it soon. The only bad thing is the fuel milage that is about 10 miles to the gallon but i will suffer the gas milage for the fun this truck has to offer.
