I have a 2001 Blazer LS. I want to know what the load capacity is for cargo because I want to move about 30 concrete cinder blocks so I can build a raised vegetable bed. I think they weigh about 24-25 pounds each, so 30 of them would probably weigh about 725 lbs. Is that too much weight to put in the back of my Blazer or not? I'm sorry if that sounds like a dumb question, but being the old lady (65+) that I am I do not want to overload my blazer. Thanks in advance.

 

The LS 2dr 4x4 has a payload of 981 lbs (not sure if that's with the Z85 package or not)

The Ls 4dr 4x4 has a payload of 1,236 lbs.

You should be good whatever one you have, it'll be interesting seeing how you get them in there.

 

On your driver's side door sticker there is a "Max Payload" weight. Mine is 768 lbs. But I believe that includes driver, passenger, etc. Also, that is the weight applied to the whole vehicle, not just the rear axle. I wouldn't want to put that kind of weight into my truck. I think you could risk damaging your rear suspension components. Maybe half that weight I might be comfortable with, but I'd be looking very closely at how much my rear end was dropping as I was loading. If it doesn't look right, it probably isn't.

 

Happy gardening.
