Pondering a trade...

I am seriously thinking about trading my truck for this "blazer"

What do you guys think? I really want a 4WD but theres really nothing wrong with my truck.

Re: Pondering a trade...

The link doesnt work --- but if its the blocked off Blazer hybrid you were asking about on the Blazer forum --- i'd pass on that

A true Blazer would be better -- but- its your life

I have both -- my K-5(which btw is for sale for under 3k) is nice because it has lockable space --- meaning if i go mountain biking or something, i dont have to completely off-load every evening -- i can leave the bike in there and just bring my nasty clothes inside

The truck is nice for any loads that would be too tall to fit in the Blazer (Dirt bikes, etc.)

Also, the solid tub body of the Blazer, coupled with the short wheelbase and solid axles, means it really rides like crap compared to the truck, which has a separate bed and a longer wheelbase.

A Blazer converted into a mini-pickup loses the cool thing about a Blazer, and has much less space than a short bed truck, while still riding like poopy
