Hello everyone,
I am in the market for a new car and I am chatting with different people from different forums to get a good feel for my next vehicle. I buy a new car a 5-6 years and do a lot of research because I dont want to make a bad decision (and then be stuck with it for 5+ years!) I have owned 2 Blazers in the past myself!
Any info you have about Blazers would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!!

I'm not much on newer vehicles. I don't like thier style. I'm more of a truck fan, such as f/s Blazer/Bronco, pickups, Jeeps, and muscle cars. What are you doing with your vehicle? Driving a lot? Doing any light or heavy towing? Hauling stuff around? I decided on my Bronco because I wanted a pickup, but wanted room for a stereo. I couldn't find an extended cab truck for cheap enough, so I decided on a Bronco. I didn't want an Explorer because they're still a little ugly and too small for the possible towing I was going to do, but decided not to go that way for work. Now I wish I would've bought a mid-size car. I still love my Bronco, but gas mileage is a killer at around 10mpg. If I could've, I would have bought a used police car. Especially if it still had the spot light, possibly the light bar too. :D
Is gas mileage a problem? I find it to be now. I'm spending about $10-40 per week on gas, depending on where I go. I can't go too far away, because I don't want to spend $50 on gas when I could spend it on something else. I'm thinking about getting a Festiva or something for long trips because I could even save money with a cheap second car and paying liability on it compared to spending it on gas for my Bronco. I know a guy that has a 4x4 Chevette, maybe I should do that.
I also wanted something that I thought people would turn their heads at and my friends would recognize me in.

I only pull a 16 ft utility trailer and a manx sand rail. But I do plan on moving up to a toyhauler so I will need to tow heavy. As for gas mileage...who buys a f/s for the mileage?? hahaha
