What do you dislike about your Blazer?

I think it could be a little higher off the ground. I think the interior could be better, the arm rest is to hard. The stupid tape player they put in in the council. The mileage could be a tad better although I knew what I was getting into getting a 4WD. Also my passangers always bitch about getting into the back seat(how that piller is always in the way), but I rarely sit back there so I dont care. Other than that its a decent truck, cant really get everything I want in a SUV though.

My ol' Mazda pickup, handled like a car...

The steering could be more responsive, and maybe give a little feedback... it feels kinda dead, lol.

Maybe the u-joint swap, over the rag joint fixes that...


Corners fairly mushy, thanks to the 30" tires... But somewhat better than the stock rubber...

I don't know about yours but myhandling characteristicshave always been very good.

The things I don't like about mine is:
2wd
Inability to run duals without removing spare
lack of underhood lighting

I gotta go with what jigg and euro said about gas mileage, lack of underhood lighting, no v8 option, and the gas gauge problem. Also though, I don't like the amount of interior noise and engine/road noise and the lack of luxury options (like Kyle mentioned the Bravada has).

Wish it had one of those active fuel management v-8's in it, a little higher off the ground stock, slightly better gas mileage, included high-low beam conversion kit.

The gas mileage isn't too bad on mine, thankfully...

on average, I get about 15mpg in city limits...

Only thing is, that's what the average 5.3 - 6L V8 gets, lol

It averages 13 miles to the gallon in the city
It averages 18-19 miles to the gallon on the interstate (i speed)
It empties my walletevery month
Front tint doesn't match the back (probably colorado law though)
No clock in the information console
It empties my wallet every month
Could use a little bit more torque for off the line
It has Automatic overdrive (i prefer to turn it on myself)
It empties my wallet every month

A terrific SUV otherwise.
