Do I really want a ZR2?
Hello,
First time post. Hey, hoping you guys can help me out. I'm looking for a 2 door Blazer and I've come across a real nice '04 ZR2, one owner, low miles and in great condition. I'm a little unsure because I'm not that into off-roading and I'm worried about giving up to much ride quality. Because this truck is a state away, I can't easily test drive it. Is there a huge difference in the ride quality between a standard 4x4 and the ZR2?
Thanks in advance, Rich

I have recently bought a ZR2 and I really don't notice the ride but then again I have not rode in a regular one to see the difference. To me giving up a little bit of ride is worth it just for the good looks of the ZR2. I don't off road much either anymore but it's like my C5 Corvette with 500 HP I don't use but it's nice to know I got it. The Z's hold their value better and get lots of looks and compliments. Then again the suspension parts seem a bit more expensive if you use the good stuff and not the cheap china parts. Mine has high miles but is in great shape after all the work I have done to it. I was thinking that if the engine goes bad I might go with a V8 swap someday. Hopefully no time soon though.

I would too!
It looks like it was very well taken care of and garage kept, for sure.
The wheel flare fasteners are still shiny!
Not even a spot of rust on the receiver.....
Damn, I'm jealous! You lucky dog!

4X4....Another thing that caught my attention about this particular truck was the steering wheel controls. It is the only Blazer I came across with this option. Is that rare? Anyone else have controls on the wheel?
