2016 Chevy Blazer K-5 Is In Your Hands - Gear Heads Found a couple sites reporting this. I don't see them making a K5 version as much as I could see them doing it based off of the Colorado. Maybe they are realizing a lot of people dislike crossovers but can't afford the bigger SUVs....

 

Also they make a trailblazer in Brazil that looks nothing like what they made here... Maybe this could be similar to what they are cooking up?

Trailblazer 2015: o SUV de 7 Lugares da Chevrolet

 

I'd vote for taking all the stick ons off the truck and put it on a slightly lowered colorado platform. Can you say Xtreme.

 

Chevrolet Niva Concept Was Designed At Shanghai-GM And Engineered In Russia

 

I kind of dig it^

 

It would be interesting but i dont know, most the newer cars arent half as tough as the olders used to be

 

I know it's a shame, I was up last night looking at new small SUVs comparable to the Blazer and none exist. They are all unibody now except for the xterra. Not hating on unibodys per say but also most are all independent suspension so lifts for them are either non existent (new Cherokee) or very small.

 

And most of them are front wheel drive too....

 

Brazilian Trailblazer, introduced in 2013

It's only available with either a V6 or a 4-cyl turbodiesel, unlike the '95-'11 Blazer which had 4-cyl gassers (lately flexfuel) available. The V6 is the same 3.6L used in U.S.-spec trucks while the Diesel is the 2.8L Duramax. In other markets there is a 2.5L Duramax too, and also 2WD and manual transmission option, but Brazilian Trailblazers come only in 4WD and automatic transmission. It seems like Chevy attempted to give it a more upscale image and wants to distance from the police car stereotype attached to the old S10 Blazer.

 

I really wish GM would come out with a TRUE K5 with a solid front axle without all of the electronics in a 1/2 ton model!
