The 1983 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, a compact sport utility vehicle (SUV), marked the beginning of Chevrolet's foray into the burgeoning SUV market. Released in 1982 as a 1983 model year, the S-10 Blazer was a game-changer, offering a blend of car-like handling and maneuverability with the rugged capabilities of a truck. Built on the same platform as the Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck, the Blazer sported a unibody construction, a departure from the traditional body-on-frame design of its larger SUV counterparts. This construction, combined with its compact dimensions and a powerful V6 engine, gave the S-10 Blazer an edge over its competition, making it surprisingly agile and fun to drive.

The 1983 S-10 Blazer was available in two trim levels: the base model and the upscale Custom trim. Both trims were equipped with a 2.8-liter V6 engine that generated 115 horsepower. The base model came standard with a 4-speed manual transmission, while the Custom model offered a 3-speed automatic transmission as an option. While the Blazer was designed for everyday driving, it was also capable of tackling light off-road trails thanks to its high ground clearance and optional four-wheel drive system. Notably, the S-10 Blazer was the first compact SUV to offer available four-wheel drive, solidifying its position as a versatile and capable vehicle. With its stylish design, practical features, and affordable price, the 1983 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer quickly became a popular choice for consumers seeking a vehicle that could handle both city and suburban driving, as well as occasional off-road excursions.
