The 1988 model year brought several refinements, including a new grille, revised interior trim, and the introduction of optional features like a driver's side airbag. Powering the S-10 Blazer was a selection of four-cylinder and V6 engines, with the 2.5-liter four-cylinder being the standard choice, while the 2.8-liter V6 provided added power. These engines were paired with either a five-speed manual or a three-speed automatic transmission, allowing drivers to choose the driving experience that best suited their needs.

The 1988 Chevrolet S-10 Blazer boasted a rugged and capable off-road design, featuring a high ground clearance and a durable chassis.
