Re: Blazer/Jimmy 4x4 Reputation
The 1969 Blazer kicked butt all over the other vehicles in its class. It drove better it had a lower center of gravity it had better power options and it served a broader range of utility. You could tow more and haul more with it and although wider and larger than the Commando, Bronco, Scout it was still very capable off road and the extra weight provided additional traction. Even stock the K5 can handle some fairly technical terrain with the right driver. Being born and raised in Colorado I have seen my share of off road capabilities in a broad range of vehicles and what I like the most about full sized Blazers, Bronco’s and Ramchargers is that they feel a lot more stable and confident than Jeeps and smaller off road vehicles. Now don’t get me wrong everyone knows a Jeep can defiantly handle Off road better than most other vehicles because they were purpose built. I just hate fourwheeling in Jeeps and 1st gen Broncos because I feel if you haven’t rolled it yet you will and I want to be as far away from it when it does.
