The 1996 Chevrolet Blazer, a rugged and versatile SUV, was a popular choice for families and adventure seekers alike. Built on the GM GMT355 platform, it shared its underpinnings with the GMC Jimmy and the Chevrolet S-10 pickup truck. The Blazer offered a choice of two powerful engines: the 4.3-liter Vortec V6, generating 190 horsepower, or the optional 5.7-liter Vortec V8, pumping out a healthy 255 horsepower. Both engines were paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, delivering smooth acceleration and confident towing capabilities. The Blazer boasted a spacious cabin with comfortable seating for up to five passengers, ensuring a pleasant journey for the whole family. Its generous cargo space allowed for ample room for luggage, camping gear, or even hauling smaller items. This capability, combined with its off-road prowess thanks to its available four-wheel drive system, made the 1996 Blazer an ideal companion for weekend getaways and outdoor excursions.

The 1996 Blazer came equipped with a plethora of features designed to enhance both comfort and safety. These included power steering, air conditioning, and an AM/FM radio for entertainment on the road. Safety features included driver and passenger airbags, anti-lock brakes (ABS), and seat belts for all passengers, providing peace of mind for drivers and their families. While the 1996 Blazer lacked some modern amenities, such as Bluetooth connectivity and advanced safety systems, it was still a reliable and capable SUV that proved popular with drivers who valued its ruggedness, spaciousness, and versatility. Its timeless design and practical nature made it a sought-after vehicle in the used car market, even decades after its production run ended.
