I had a K5 Blazer for about 12 years. Not a bad vehicle. The worst part
for me was the bad ride and handling. Could not take my eyes off the
road. I replace the steering box and it still wandered. On a 6 to 8
hour trip, I was whipped.
Sold it and bought a 1990 4x4 Suburban. Lots of difference on the road.
Much more comfortable.
Both get about the same mileage on gas.
