Edmunds' Expert Review

by the Edmunds Experts

Pros

Wide range of features and options, competent drivetrain, cheap price.

Cons

Spotty build quality, cheesy interior parts, uncomfortable rear seats, poor resale value.

What’s new

The Blazer gets only a few minor changes for 2003. A new fuel-injection system helps smooth out the aging 4.3-liter V6 while the interior get refreshed with new seat fabrics. Two-door models are now available in a bright yellow exterior color while the Xtreme model gets new quarter-panel graphics.

Edmunds says

If people keep buying them, Chevy will keep making them. We, however, suggest standing clear and going with the far superior TrailBlazer instead.

2003 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4WD 4dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

We bought this SUV used in 2005 for hauling building materials. It was the only SUV with a rear gate that folded down to extend the bed for loading lumber. We love the rear gate & having 4 doors. It is so convenient! We get at least 20 mpg & the only problem was a wiper that came loose & needed to be tightened. We change the oil every 3000 mi and the vehicle has given us no problems. I …

Bought it with 1Mile on it back in 2003

2003 Chevrolet Blazer LS Rwd 4dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

I take care of my cars. I can say this one has taken care of me. Comfy ride, in the 10 years that I've owned it, minus the normal wear and tear items I've replaced the fuel injection spider ($1000 repair). I needed to replace all the ball joints for inspection, which I did myself this weekend. Add up all the repairs at normal garage costs, $3000 in 10 years. That's great.

Love my ZR2!

2003 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4WD 4dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

I have put over 100,000 KMs on my 2003 Blazer ZR2 (current odometer reads 206,000 KMs) and the only thing other than maintenance I have ever had to do was the head gasket. This is is a fault on a lot of Chevy/GM vehicles from these years. She is so reliable though! Other than the tailgate squeak, which I am in the process of fixing, I have no complaints with this fast accelerating, …

One Of The Best SUV's Ever Made.

K to the L, 12/30/2005

2003 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4WD 4dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 4A)

This is the first Blazer I ever owned, however I've been around numerous Blazers throughout my life, and they really are good solid SUV's. I do agree that ever since the Trailblazer came along the Blazer is not respected the way it was back in the day, and it still should be. The engine and drivetrain are tough and were tuned for truck work. If you are looking for a reliable, dependable, …
