What Owners are Saying About the 1998 Chevrolet Blazer

"Overall a great vehicle"

"I have owned my Blazer for 13 years. Had 77k when I got it, has 234k now. The front ends are known to be a bit problematic in these and mine has been no different. That said, in 13 years it has broken down just twice (fuel pump, both times). It is a definite workhorse. I've towed some heavy loads on numerous occasions without any issue. The 4 wheel drive is great in the snow and it goes offroad surprisingly well in its stock configuration. Overall I am pleased with the vehicles performance, reliability and comfort. Gas mileage isn't great though."

"Will Get Another!"

"I was apprehensive about getting a larger vehicle but, I am TOTALLY impressed with my 2003 Chevy Blazer! It has NEVER failed me, is very comfortable, and an easy vehicle to drive/park. I will replace it with another Chevy SUV if it ever needs to be, but I hope this one goes on and on and on."

"Very Good SUV and has lasted for ever."

"This SUV Is great it can carry and tow. It is very versatile, it is quite and comfortable it did have a problem with dropping into 4 wheel drive but that was resolved easily. It has lasted almost 16 years and is still going strong would recommend."
