4x4 lowered blazer

4.3Xtreme · 11-12-2005, 09:31 PM

there is a lowered blazer sitting at a lot here in town
its a early 2nd gen
custom orange (almost corba mustang color) with yellow flames, cant tell if they are vinal or painted on
shaved all the way around
only after talk to the salesman, i found out its a 4x4, lowered with huge blocks out back they look to be atleast 4" so, and not sure up front
xenon kit molded all the way around, very well done
nasty chrome m3's the door popper is under the driver side mirror
the interior is all painted up in the orange
it has the 4.3 with 120xxx miles, it had no performance mods done what so ever
and they were asking 8900 for it
if i had my camera i would have taken some pics

just for the hell of it i test drove it
i had never drove a 4x4 before, it was nice but not for a lowered truck
if felt so much like a dog, it was a strong engine, no problems shifting or running, just slow
but when i was talking to the guy about it, i think he was more interested in getting my truck then even me driving the one on the lot.
it was funny he kept asking me if i wanted to trade mine in.

but i was just curious is there any reason it felt so slow?
i know there is extra weight from the 4x4 but it has more horses
just for a compairson mine is an 01 X, x cab, with only I/E.

Of course a Blazer is gonna feel like a dog compared to your ex cab.Its got more weight to pull.My ZR2 p/u would run rings around my ZR2 Blazer.

Daveman2 · 11-13-2005, 01:56 AM

word, like +400lbs difference, basically same motor.

Scott01 · 11-13-2005, 02:00 AM

I am not sure right off what my Blazer weighs.What does a ex cab weigh?

4.3Xtreme · 11-13-2005, 02:21 PM

i really dont know?
this is just a guess, but 3600?

Scott01 · 11-13-2005, 03:25 PM

Think a Blazer is close 5000 GVW.

4.3Xtreme · 11-13-2005, 07:37 PM

i guess thats just a little bit more weight... haha
especially with the 4x4 equipment

but there is a truck weight i know a few firends have gone past to weigh their cars before, and ive wanted to do the same, ive just never had the chance

Scott01 · 11-13-2005, 08:47 PM

Look in the drivers side door opening.Look for Gross vehicle weight.

4.3Xtreme · 11-21-2005, 03:58 PM

i know this is a bit old but i was driving past the lot today and had the camera, and with it being sunday it was closed, so no pesky salesmen. so i decide to take a few pics just to show you guys what it looked like...
im not the biggest fan of it, but its a decent amount of work on a dime for this area.

i highly doubt an s-10 blazer weighs that much... that number is including passengers and cargo.

What does GVWR mean?

The GVWR is the Gross Vehicle Weight Rating. This is the maximum weight the manufacturer states the vehicle and its load can weigh and still operate safely.

my 2003 2wd 4.3/auto weighed in at right over 4200 lbs the only time I ever got it on a scale.

***98layinframe*** · 11-21-2005, 04:34 PM

wow.. thats really nice looking! Well everything minus the body kit that is....

556mm · 11-21-2005, 04:43 PM

that looks pretty badass minus the airdam. haha the name of the place is garfeilds.

Daveman2 · 11-21-2005, 04:51 PM

I looked it up a long time ago and the curb weight is like around 3700-3800 lbs
