2005 Chevrolet Blazer Review
Chevy consigns 4-dr Blazers to the fleet market for 2005, leaving retail buyers with an unchanged 2-dr model. This SUV uses an 11-year-old truck-based design and seats four. It has a 4.3-liter V6, manual and automatic transmissions, and standard antilock 4-wheel disc brakes. Front side airbags are unavailable. Blazer is offered with rear-wheel drive or one of two 4WD setups with low-range gearing: optional all-surface Autotrac or basic 4WD that should not be left engaged on dry pavement. An off-road-oriented ZR2 package features a high-riding suspension, larger tires, fortified chassis components, skid plates, tubular side steps, and front brush guard.
Competition
Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 17 classes based on size, price, and market position. Larger than Compact SUVs, Midsize SUVs offer a mix of car- and truck-type construction, V6 and V8 power, and up to 8-passenger seating. This class also includes crossover vehicles.

Our Best Buys include the Honda Pilot and Toyota Highlander. Our Recommended picks are the Dodge Durango, Ford Explorer, Ford Freestyle, Nissan Murano, and Toyota 4Runner.
News
Blazer won't be back for 2006. The car-like Equinox is now in full production as Chevy's junior midsize SUV, so there's no more need for the old truck-type Blazer.
