I'm 6'3, 310 lbs. If you're walking to toxic hell you should be OK, I'd imagine, haha.

Lol, thought i might ask this as im looking for blazers. How many miles is good, and how many is toooo much. I was lucky on my old blazer to pick it up with 133K. What do you guys suggest?

10-15K per year is pretty average.

120 - 140k I think is good. Picked mine up with 122k. Engines seem to go a long way, transmissions I've heard good and bad but that could be the owners fault either way

lol my 4runner has 159000 miles on it, getting over 150k you gotta start wondering if and when the transmission is gonna go out, and a lot of other stuff wearing out. best is to find one that already has that stuff replaced so its like new again, but still cheap because of the high millage.
