YeS.. but when will GM get to the party first? When will they not be the last to grab scraps? Seriously they are missing out on serious coin. Look even De Leoran is coming back before a full size K5
If it’s more ZR2 than blazer now yes. Lift it. Put in 35’s , give it a good engine make it look good and come with a sunroof and removable hard top and front and rear lockers etc but make it for the enthusiast not the soccer moms and yes I would buy it.
hell yes and i vote they ditch the tahoe and base the suburban off the pickup trucks and base the travrse off the colorado and canion platform theres too many cross overs
I owned a 1980 K5 with the 350, loved that truck. I would love to have another Blazer, but without the engine problems of today's GM trucks, preferably. I would like for the back to come off again, and keep it under the price of a house.
Yes, yes, yes. If someone would make a full-size 2 door SUV I would seriously consider buying one. Not a midsized or compact, but a FULL-SIZE with a V-8 option, 2 row seating with plenty of storage or UTILITY..
Your the only one. Everyone will buy the 4 door. Even midsized SUVs most people buy the 4 door if there is a 2 door option. Even the bronco only sells about 25% as the two door. How many 2 door trucks are sold outside of the trades. I would like to buy a 2 door manual Bronco once the craziness dies down, but how knows if Ford will still make them in 2 years?
@@bindingcurve No, actually he’s not the only one. Many people would buy the 4door. But just because you wouldn’t, doesn’t mean that you speak for anyone but yourself.
I couldn’t, be way to expensive, but these things would sell like hot cakes for sure, this is the direction I think GM should have gone for sure, instead of that current thing they call Blazer.
Gm has so many opportunities with this retro movement and they consistently drop the ball. I guess they will stick with their electric commitment….RIP GM
Absolutely would, I've owned 2 blazers in my life and dearly miss them. If GM had a right mind theyd build this. Itd sell like hotcakes. Also make the roof removeable!
Definitely removable roof just like the 69-72< (full roof) and the 73-74(full roof) and the back half of the 75-91(the back half roof that covers the back seat and cargo area) and heck yeah I would buy one !!!! And would prefer a solid front axle just like the 1st and 2nd gen
Definitely would buy one I've got a few years on me and have owned so many k5s I've lost count , I love them and would love to see it make a come back!!!
If I could afford it I would 100 percent buy one, I love everything blazer (1969-2005) I've owned several myself and have a special place in my heart for ZR2s.
100%. Remove the +$15000 markup found on the Broncos, make them with a non-removable-top, and give it a balance of power and fuel efficiency and I'd be all over that.
I would buy one of these in a heartbeat! I had a 93 full-size blazer that I swapped a marine 5.7l 350 into it and I miss driving it around! I absolutely love the full-size blazer and wish that GM brings it back!!
Small wheel base ZR2 would be a smash hit!!! I currently drive a supercab raptor would love something a little smaller and easer to move around in tight places. I would buy one! That look in the rendering would be a sales hit first year out.
Love it if they would build one of those 2 door models. I have been looking for one of the old blazers and almost baught one last year. I have owned 2 escalades and always asked why not the V version. They would make a killing and now they make it the last season perhaps of the Escalade V8. Just like you said GM and other brands should look into these RUclips designers because they seem more talented than some of their designers. Thanks for the videos
GM & Ford and others have lost their minds in designing their vehicles. There is still a segment of people that would much rather have a bare bones truck or suv with the following. V8 engine, solid front axle, locking hubs, a/c, power brakes, door locks, decent stereo system, 4wd shifter on the floor, reliable transmission, bigger tires and wheels, no carpet. These new trucks have so many electronic gizmos that most who buy them don't even know what they have or how to use them. It's crazy to pay what the new ones cost. Give the average working man or woman an affordable/dependable truck or suv.
That looks perfect! Those small tweaks to the original ZR2 front end really makes it look much better imo. Bowtie back in the middle and the double stacked headlights. Key design cues missing on the Refreshed Silverado's.
I think if they did bring the Blazer back, it needs to be more retro on the outside like the early 70's Blazers.. That's what people like. Look at the new Bronco and Jeep, not a lot of changes on the outside from earlier versions!!
Chevy is in a really good position for it. They've got the 3L duramax, the 5.3 and 6.2 which would all be great choices for engines for a new SUV. To be completely honest, They could have a very strong launch with 5.3 V8 base. Then develop and offer the 3L and 5.3 as hybrids kind of like the f150 hybrid. Then maybe either the 6.2 or the 5.3 supercharged as options on a raptor competitor. The 3L duramax hybrid could be a huge hit in the Suburban, silverado and blazer.
You should check out the Mercedes E300 de: diesel-electric hybrid. "The E300de managed to do about 270 miles of heavily congested and often completely choked highways on a third of a tank. That’s about 55 mpg on diesel and reclaimed electricity", I would buy that in a truck.
@@paladin11C40 Probably wouldn't get that in a truck, but depending on design and tuning, I could see them in the 30-40mpg range. But even at current mpg, on board power could be huge for sales.
The only way I would buy one is if GM would actually do it right. Dont just make it look like its offroad capable. A true platform and drivetrain that was built to be great off road that you could also drive on the road between trails. They don't need to build anymore Z-71 offroad wannabees which is just a regular truck with offroad shocks, rear govlock diff and aggressive tires. Things that are a must: front and rear selectable lockers, low tcase gearing, heavy duty (solid) axles, flexy suspension, real ground clearance, minimal computer interface. Keep it simple like the K5 was. The more computer gadgets and bells and whistles they put into it they price themselves out of the market that actually wants to buy one. Did I mention bring the solid axles back too? Ideally make it easy to modify for the aftermarket world because let's face it, it will be modified. Look at the Wrangler and why it's so popular. Easy to modify and has a ton of aftermarket support to personalize it. If they could do all of this Hell Yeah I would buy one!
Yes I would buy one but a design that would blow this one out of the water make a new updated square body like you did in 1973 modify it give it an update 454 high output engine this would make the Ford Bronco look like a little toy compared to it please please please I would help you design it. !!People today still love it and younger generations are discovering the square body design and I guarantee it would be the most successful new production in the last 25 years hands down!!!
Chevy wouldn't have to try too hard to make the Broncos look like a toy. And I wholeheartedly agree with doing a square body throw back with a bad ass 454.
Most people think, Investing in crypto is all about buying coins, then leaving it to rise, come on it takes much analysis to be a successful crypto trader.I've made $16,000 in 2 weeks of trading. With a capital of $3,400
Hell yes I would. I had an 89 Blazer and I currently own a 2021 Chevy 2500hd. I think unfortunately Chevy has been behind Ford on their designs. I have been a Chevy person my whole life. But now I can’t name any new Chevy vehicles except for the trucks and the Corvette. Their vehicle model name recognition gone away. I could tell you all the Chevy models from the 60’s and 70’’s, but not anymore.
Id buy it today! The bronco looks awesome and having ridden in one at the LA auto show it feels great. However, there's no V8, and Fords only competition is Jeep adding a third player to the mix would be absolutely welcomed as it would force manufactures to lower prices.
Yes. If they used there old method based it off a Silverado I’m in….just on nastalgia alone. I remember tons of k5 running around as a kid especially with snow plows they were the best plow vehicles
I'd buy one, by the way, I'm still holding on to my 1996 Tahoe 2 doors & waiting for a new one. PS: I bought a Cadillac Escalade & (due to the problems I faced with it) I returned it to the dealer.
Exactly what I was thinking in my mind! Great concept!!! I would definitely be interested! 4x4 check, at least a 5.3l check, looks of a full size pickup check, 2 door full size suv check!!!
I started with a two door in 77, eventually moved to 4 door unit, then had to move to suburban or yukon xl and would be interested in one of these for sure....now.
Just remember GM...Ford Bronco sells so well because they took the time to get it right...if you just slap together a "Blazer" fans of the SUV will know
One thing I notice right off the bat is they are giving up huge wheel travel for oversized wheels. Unless you are rock crawling at slow speeds, it is actually much more advantageous to have smaller wheels and more travel in the suspension.
If GM is willing to do and revitalize the blazer to compete with the Ford Bronco, I'm all in full support but I don't think it will happen and GMs bad decision making over the years
I have a new Bronco already and I would DEFINITELY buy a ZR2 ... i think the capabilities will be comparable but i have a feeling the ZR2 will not have many of the Bronco's shortcomings in the interior or the engine bay
I love the look of it BUT, I would prefer one that is nicer looking for City driving. I would not want one with the biggest tires or the off road look. I would like a two door blazer that sits as high as the Tahoe, little luxurious. I would never use it for off roading but for just town use. I want someone to make a 2 door verison of the Tahoe or GMC YUKON, my opinion
We have a 1985 K5 Blazer (military version 6.2 liter diesel engine) we have rebuilt the body and the preverbal body rust over the rear wheel wells. Would love to see an update version on a truck chassis rather the unity body junk.
Yes I would, I have 2021 ZR2 and its been the best vehicle I have ever driven. When I first bought it we had a snow storm and a friend called me and said his friend was stuck in a tractor trailer. I figured wth i'd see what it could do. So I hooked up to a 43' fully loaded semi put it into low 4 wheel and !locked both lockers and let off the break and let the truck do the work and once it got traction it pulled this semi up this snow covered decline like I've never seen before. The semi driver was so impressed he went bought one the following week. So I give the ZR2 an outstanding rating being it has the best traction control I have ever driven in snow/icy conditions.
I would but I would want solid axels with a front disconnecting sway bar, with locking axels of course I like the idea of locking hubs better but that is just my preference.
Yes...I've been waiting for a ZR2 to hit the market. I can't believe it's not out yet. I'd buy in a heartbeat. And I'd love to see a convertible model as an option too. I've loved the blazer since I was a kid. My grandparents owned them and it was the first car I ever bought when I got my first job. Bring it back, let's do this!
Hell yes! Grew up owning new GM vehicles starting with a 1980 Camaro as Junior in high school, than an 1984 Z28 after I went to work for them at the OKC assembly plant. I never had a Blazer but have driven several through the years and alway wanted to buy one but life kept getting in the way. I’m older now and still a fan of the Bow Tie.
I don't know... Had over the years several k5 if it's a IFS think I would take a pass on it.... If they put a modern engine in the exact k5 they used in 1970 sign me up!!
It would be interesting to see a MODERN International Scout. Would I buy a NEW GMC Jimmy/Chevy Blazer? If the Price was right along with the Engine, H LL YEAH! It's a shame that VW purchased what International became which was Navistar.
I would in a second, but unfortunately it would take an insane amount of seconds for me to save the money. But seriously, beautiful truck and I would buy one.
I love the Bronco, but it has major drawbacks for me (and some others I’m sure) that Blazer would not have. Those are 1) multi-piece removable roof (many people love that, but many of us don’t want the wind noise that inevitably comes with that, even with the roof on), 2) manual seats (except for the most expensive trims), and 3) exterior rear mounted spare tire, which requires an extender for a bike rack.
I loved the back in the day blazer when I was a small child is what got me into four-wheel-drive and, when I turned 18 and got my drivers license I found out that they Cut the Blazers balls off. And try to see how many cups holders I can put in. So I had to buy a Jeep. Thanks a lot Chevy for chopping of the Blazers balls it will never be the same. Keep pleasing the suburbia family and their pet dogs. Ford understands the true nature callers.
I would! With the condition of having a column shifter! …. The new tahoe would be perfect with it, there was no point of changing a feature that worked so well throughout the years … the team who did it they didnt listened their customers
As a K5 owner I would definitely buy one. I had the opportunity to buy a new Blazer last year for my wife,but she chose something else. She felt it was the same as the Equinox we had and lost faith in the brand.
Always owned GM trucks but recently purchased a 2023 ford Bronco for my wife. She loves it but I was honestly waiting for a GM version. Would have changed my mind if there was a blazer like this.. bad ass !!
I OWNED A '78 K5 Blazer for 32 years. I had to cave, and buy a Tahoe to pull my boat. I don't need and don't want 4 doors and all that length for an every day driver. Chevy, you make it, I'll buy it.
Current Colorado ZR2 owner. If reasonably priced I would trade in a "Heartbeat" if you know what I mean. For a retro boost bring back the "Like a Rock" advertising and show the ZR2 actually outdoors climbing something not going to the mall or the lumber yard. Unfortunately it will never happen unless it is 90K but oh well, a guy can dream!
I had a '97 two-door Tahoe I put quad tip exhaust on it absolutely loved it just talked about it a year ago if GM would come out with a two-door 6.2L V8 with quad tip exhaust I would order one right now!
I’d put a deposit down tomorrow. Like no bullshit. This would be a childhood dream - to own a full-size K-Blazer - come true. Do this, GM. I’m already planning to buy a Silverado LT Trail Boss but if this Blazer were available, I’d be first in line to scoop one!
I proudly admit that when the current Blazer was released, I wanted to throw up and start a protest against the GM executives lol. I was confused as much as I was disappointed. I've owned three K5 Blazers and a 1991 GMC Jimmy with all the bells and whistles for the last year of the square body K5's. Not only do I love the K5 series trucks, I live, breathe and dream about them 24/7. Regretfully, I sold my 1991 Jimmy. A decision I will regret for the rest of my life. I'd buy the new K5 Blazer if it's coming to market someday. But my love and passion will always favor the first and second generation K5 Blazers/Jimmy's.
This actually looks Really good, and I would definitely buy one of these. I think it’s a great modernized portrayal of the classic K5 Blazer, it looks sick.
Love this version!! As you said, the new blazer is a nice crossover but not what GM fans are used to for the Blazer. I had a 1989 .... I want a BIG BLAZER!!
I have a 2021 blazer rs I love it. Just ordered the 2023 rs for the wife. I was going to order myself a 2023 but I'm sooo diggin' this big boy blazer right here. So YES I'D BUY ONE
The Blazer/Jimmy name started on the offroad GM vehicle. They should have always been competing with Jeep and toyota in this area. They went away from the formula when SUV sales went nuts in the 90s. They saw the sales numbers on the 4door tahoe (which was a mini van that didnt suck). They made the Blazer into a smaller mini van that didnt suck, but soccer moms didnt want the 2 doors. If they would have kept the 2 door a jeep competitor with options for front and rear lockers and special suspension or lifts, etc. It would have sold on par with jeep and 4 runners. Just need to market it as an off roader that can go anywhere and take anything you want with you. Boat, trailer, bikes. And you can camp in the back if you want too.
My 02' Blazer ZR2 has 300k miles & still getting 16 in town & 18 on the highway. Both fuel banks still reading 0.0 or 1.0 bank 2. I'd definitely trade or sell mine for that true 2023 looking Blazer🤟
Well....Would you buy one?
YeS.. but when will GM get to the party first? When will they not be the last to grab scraps? Seriously they are missing out on serious coin. Look even De Leoran is coming back before a full size K5
Depends where it’s made, USA of course.
Yep
If it’s more ZR2 than blazer now yes. Lift it. Put in 35’s , give it a good engine make it look good and come with a sunroof and removable hard top and front and rear lockers etc but make it for the enthusiast not the soccer moms and yes I would buy it.
hell yes and i vote they ditch the tahoe and base the suburban off the pickup trucks and base the travrse off the colorado and canion platform theres too many cross overs
Biggest mistake GM has made I would buy one and so would everyone else!
It would be refreshing over the Jeep and Bronco having a more half ton full size feel but short wheelbase
GMs are made in China. Sharing their business 50% with SIAC. It is now SAIC General Motors Corporation Limited. That should change your mind.

YES! YES! I have asked for one for 20+ years. We had a 1977 and had it for 18 years. It was a workhorse. I just loved that truck.
Absolutely would, I've owned 2 blazers in my life and dearly miss them. If GM had a right mind theyd build this. Itd sell like hotcakes. Also make the roof removeable!

Still have a pristine 88, only major thing I've had to do to it is replace all the brake lines. Might add a new yard ornament with this one!

We have a 1985 K5 Blazer (military version 6.2 liter diesel engine) we have rebuilt the body and the preverbal body rust over the rear wheel wells. Would love to see an update version on a truck chassis rather the unity body junk.
Definitely like that version better than any of the current models. Depend on the cost, I'd seriously consider it.
Yes I would, I have 2021 ZR2 and its been the best vehicle I have ever driven. When I first bought it we had a snow storm and a friend called me and said his friend was stuck in a tractor trailer. I figured wth i'd see what it could do. So I hooked up to a 43' fully loaded semi put it into low 4 wheel and !locked both lockers and let off the break and let the truck do the work and once it got traction it pulled this semi up this snow covered decline like I've never seen before. The semi driver was so impressed he went bought one the following week. So I give the ZR2 an outstanding rating being it has the best traction control I have ever driven in snow/icy conditions.
Incline not decline
I wasn’t planning on buying a newer vehicle. Just keep my old one running forever…but for THIS…YES, sign me up!
I would buy it right away!, they just need upgrade their interior! Bigger screen more color interior options !, massaging seats, panoramic sunroof.
I would love one. It looks like a Blazer I used to own and loved.
I would but I would want solid axels with a front disconnecting sway bar, with locking axels of course I like the idea of locking hubs better but that is just my preference.
Yes...I've been waiting for a ZR2 to hit the market. I can't believe it's not out yet. I'd buy in a heartbeat. And I'd love to see a convertible model as an option too. I've loved the blazer since I was a kid. My grandparents owned them and it was the first car I ever bought when I got my first job. Bring it back, let's do this!
Hell yes! Grew up owning new GM vehicles starting with a 1980 Camaro as Junior in high school, than an 1984 Z28 after I went to work for them at the OKC assembly plant. I never had a Blazer but have driven several through the years and alway wanted to buy one but life kept getting in the way. I’m older now and still a fan of the Bow Tie.
I don't know... Had over the years several k5 if it's a IFS think I would take a pass on it.... If they put a modern engine in the exact k5 they used in 1970 sign me up!!
I would, if it came in solid axle form
Absolutely! That thing is exactly what I would expect out of a blazer!
It would be interesting to see a MODERN International Scout. Would I buy a NEW GMC Jimmy/Chevy Blazer? If the Price was right along with the Engine, H LL YEAH!
It's a shame that VW purchased what International became which was Navistar.
I would in a second, but unfortunately it would take an insane amount of seconds for me to save the money. But seriously, beautiful truck and I would buy one.
I owned a 95 K5 Blazer/Tahoe. I loved that truck even with the GM blood red cloth interior. I would DEFINITELY buy it!
Looks better than Ford, Dodge or Jeep. I’d buy one if they are not 100k..
I love the Bronco, but it has major drawbacks for me (and some others I’m sure) that Blazer would not have. Those are 1) multi-piece removable roof (many people love that, but many of us don’t want the wind noise that inevitably comes with that, even with the roof on), 2) manual seats (except for the most expensive trims), and 3) exterior rear mounted spare tire, which requires an extender for a bike rack.
Yep that’s the Blazer I expected, must have some of those Ivy League designers in the lab vs the people who really do the work and know trucks.
I had three K-5's, then three Tahoe's, still have a Tahoe to this day. Broke my heart when this new Blazer appeared. Ye's I'd buy one.
I loved the back in the day blazer when I was a small child is what got me into four-wheel-drive and, when I turned 18 and got my drivers license I found out that they Cut the Blazers balls off. And try to see how many cups holders I can put in. So I had to buy a Jeep. Thanks a lot Chevy for chopping of the Blazers balls it will never be the same. Keep pleasing the suburbia family and their pet dogs. Ford understands the true nature callers.
I’d totally buy one!
I would! With the condition of having a column shifter! …. The new tahoe would be perfect with it, there was no point of changing a feature that worked so well throughout the years … the team who did it they didnt listened their customers
Agreed! The column shifter is a must.👍 I think most manufacturers are just following the trend without considering whether it actually should or not.
As a K5 owner I would definitely buy one. I had the opportunity to buy a new Blazer last year for my wife,but she chose something else. She felt it was the same as the Equinox we had and lost faith in the brand.
Always owned GM trucks but recently purchased a 2023 ford Bronco for my wife. She loves it but I was honestly waiting for a GM version. Would have changed my mind if there was a blazer like this.. bad ass !!
Yes, if it is anything like the render, YES.
YES! I have owned 4 different K5s and wish they still made one. I have a Trail Boss and I do love it, but my heart is with the BLAZER K5!
YESSSSSSSSS!!!! PLEASE BRING IT! I Love my CO ZR2. All ZR2 owners want the V8. Bring it!!!
I OWNED A '78 K5 Blazer for 32 years. I had to cave, and buy a Tahoe to pull my boat. I don't need and don't want 4 doors and all that length for an every day driver. Chevy, you make it, I'll buy it.
Owned a 1999 Tahoe Sport - last year for the 2dr... Hell yes I'd buy one!!!!!!
Current Colorado ZR2 owner. If reasonably priced I would trade in a "Heartbeat" if you know what I mean. For a retro boost bring back the "Like a Rock" advertising and show the ZR2 actually outdoors climbing something not going to the mall or the lumber yard. Unfortunately it will never happen unless it is 90K but oh well, a guy can dream!
I had a '97 two-door Tahoe I put quad tip exhaust on it absolutely loved it just talked about it a year ago if GM would come out with a two-door 6.2L V8 with quad tip exhaust I would order one right now!
Yes I would buy one! I have the original ZR2 BLASER now, with a 6.2l in the garage waiting to go in.
I probably couldn't afford it new... but 5-10 years from release I'd be picking one up on the secondary market and loving it.
I’d put a deposit down tomorrow. Like no bullshit. This would be a childhood dream - to own a full-size K-Blazer - come true. Do this, GM. I’m already planning to buy a Silverado LT Trail Boss but if this Blazer were available, I’d be first in line to scoop one!
I proudly admit that when the current Blazer was released, I wanted to throw up and start a protest against the GM executives lol. I was confused as much as I was disappointed. I've owned three K5 Blazers and a 1991 GMC Jimmy with all the bells and whistles for the last year of the square body K5's. Not only do I love the K5 series trucks, I live, breathe and dream about them 24/7. Regretfully, I sold my 1991 Jimmy. A decision I will regret for the rest of my life. I'd buy the new K5 Blazer if it's coming to market someday. But my love and passion will always favor the first and second generation K5 Blazers/Jimmy's.
i have a 96 blazer hell yes i would buy this going on 300 000 miles still driving strong
I currently drive a 94 blazer. I love this thing. I would definitely attempt to get one.
I would love one. This goes back to the Blazer I owned.
This actually looks Really good, and I would definitely buy one of these. I think it’s a great modernized portrayal of the classic K5 Blazer, it looks sick.
i well buy one
Love this version!! As you said, the new blazer is a nice crossover but not what GM fans are used to for the Blazer. I had a 1989 .... I want a BIG BLAZER!!
Looks great. I've owned a few Blazers, and regret getting rid of them. I would absolutely consider buying one of these.
That is a loaded question. Depends on the price and the motor ,transmission , rearendset up and suspension
I have a 2021 blazer rs I love it. Just ordered the 2023 rs for the wife. I was going to order myself a 2023 but I'm sooo diggin' this big boy blazer right here. So YES I'D BUY ONE
The Blazer/Jimmy name started on the offroad GM vehicle. They should have always been competing with Jeep and toyota in this area. They went away from the formula when SUV sales went nuts in the 90s. They saw the sales numbers on the 4door tahoe (which was a mini van that didnt suck). They made the Blazer into a smaller mini van that didnt suck, but soccer moms didnt want the 2 doors. If they would have kept the 2 door a jeep competitor with options for front and rear lockers and special suspension or lifts, etc. It would have sold on par with jeep and 4 runners. Just need to market it as an off roader that can go anywhere and take anything you want with you. Boat, trailer, bikes. And you can camp in the back if you want too.
I have a 1994 Blazer 6.5 td and it's so good to drive on snowy ways.
Yes I would...in a heart beat that thing looks awesome
Yes I would buy your Concept art Blazer
One thing about the first gen Blazer is if you got a v-8 engine you also got a 4 bbl. carburetor and a wide variety of gear ratios and trannys.
My 02' Blazer ZR2 has 300k miles & still getting 16 in town & 18 on the highway.
Both fuel banks still reading 0.0 or 1.0 bank 2.
I'd definitely trade or sell mine for that true 2023 looking Blazer🤟
100% would buy one. was so excited when the blazer came out and then so sad when I saw what it was. Your render is what we were all hoping for.
