This has probably been discussed but why isn't a 2wd Blazer a C/5 instead of a K/5? Just curious.

I'd guess because they didn't produce enough to justify the costs. That or they were just lazy.

K5 just sounds cooler.

Blazers have been the k model up till they changed the name to taheo. so if had to guess its refers to the body type. k for blaz and c for trk.

Glad they didn't. If I told people I had a c/5 they'd think I had a corvette. Not that it's a bad thing to have a Vette.

But a 4wd truck is a K not C....K10-30...K1500-3500 except 87 trucks which 4wd are V10-30 all the way to the silverado style in 99. BUT K5 does sound cooler!!!! I was just curious thats all.
