no sunroof, can't have dual exhaust without removing spare, it's black so pollen shows real easy in the summer

Well for myself I'm used to crap gas mileage cuz my previous DD was a turbocharged rice-eater and could chug thru some gas like it was gatorade on a hot day. I hate the handling of the truck, though, because my last car cornered like it was on rails. I was scared to drive Bob at first because I thought if I sneezed I'd fly off the road. I've gotten used to it though, sort of. I can't drive when I'm tired though, or I'll be all over the road. Another thing I still haven't gotten used to is the bouncy bouncy bouncy ALL the time. Even though I always wear my seatbelt I feel like I'm gonna bounce right out the window, I have the stiff sports suspension in my Shelby to thank for that. Everyone else who's ever been in my truck (mostly truck owners themselves) haven't noticed the bouncing. I also dislike the way the previous owners smoked in the vehicle and everything faded and fell apart, and how they just kinda let things fall to pieces, but that isn't Bob's fault I suppose.

There's alot more that I like about the truck than I don't though. I like how I can back the truck up to a bonfire and sit in the back completely out of the elements. I like that I can climb stuff without scraping bottom, even in 2WD. I like that both my husband and 2 kids and a ton of luggage fit into it and we still have room to breathe. I also LOVE the roof rack in case I ever wanna haul something big.

What I don't like about my Blazer. Hmmmmmmm












Hmmmmmmmm















Hmmmmmmmmm




Can't think of a thing. Its a truck.
It handles like a truck.
It drives like a truck.
It burns gas like a truck.
It tows like a truck.
It hauls gear like a truck.
The interior can handle the abuse like a truck.
Sounds more like you all wish it were a car.
V8 would have been a nice option. Although for 2500 you can drop one in yourself.

I'm gonna go with a V8 option and a little better gas milage. Mine handles like a dream. Nothing else to complain about.

ORIGINAL: Jigg

Gas mileage
Lack of a V8
Gas Gauge is busted
Yep mileage is a bugger
DEFINATLELY needs a V8
LOL, mine is busted too.

Only other things i can think of are solid axle for the front, bigger fender clearance, and more ground clearance. Other than that my truck is just fine by me.

The only thing I dislike about my Blazers is the rust so I'm having the rust removed.

I'm with Hanr3 on the rest, although all my Blazers are V8s

why do all the people complain about gas mileage and want a v8? If your pissed with your milage now, how MORE pissed would you be with a v8?
