Can't wait to see what this truck can actually do. I've never owned a 4x4 let alone a truck. I keep hearing how bad azz a Blazer is and how much I'm gonna love it. I think what gets me in trouble the most is just not being familiar with it.

ya that's true, but the only way your gonna find its limits is by trying. just be cautious about sharp turns, and steep angles on a sideways movement. The vehicle is top heavier than a car so there is always that chance of tipping it.

i don't have the 4x4 working in mine, and to this date i've gotten it stuck once in the crappy weather & snow. granted i've lost "control", albeit nothing that landed me in any kind of damage or spun out - corrected the loss very fast by most of the time letting off brakes or gas, a few times and scared myself once with it. ended up going down hill on a curve in the road to a red, back end kicked loose when i hit the brakes and was sending me sideways into a vehicle in the next lane over (4 lane road), hadda choose running a red or hitting the ridgeline. needless to say i ran the just changed red.
