exactly.. the blazers have their purpose but not for off roading/heavy hauling.

I have driven quite a few of these, most have low miles but remember that the gov buys the cheapest parts. glow plugs/controllers, alternator, batteries are common issues.

one key starts all CUCV's though, sometimes gov liquidation says "no keys" or "does not run". you'll get those a little cheaper of course.

trucks had 4.56 gears and only run about 55-60mph without larger tires.
