Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Unique Xtreme and ZR2 suspension packages, competent drivetrain, cheap price.
Cons
- Aged platform, spotty build quality, low-grade interior parts, uncomfortable rear seats, poor resale value.
What’s new
The Blazer is available exclusively as a two-door this year, as four-doors are now sold as fleet vehicles only.
Edmunds says
Although it does offer a strong running V6, the Blazer is otherwise outclassed by nearly every other sport-ute on the market. An option only if the low price is too hard for you to overlook.

Great SUV for single guy.
J.POWERS, 05/15/2010
2005 Chevrolet Blazer LS Rwd 2dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 5M)
I bought this Blazer in April, 2009 with 56,000 miles. Now it has 81,000 miles on it. Have no complaints. I love the 4.3 L vortec v6 and 4-spd. At with od. The body & interior are great. I don't have many riders in back seats, so I flip them down for excellent cargo space. I live at the beach, but travel to the n. C. Mountains frequently. My Blazer does everything I need and more. All … accessories work great, and the ride is good. I love the ride height, the acceleration, the ease of parking, etc. For a person looking for an average SUV without the high price tag and high insurance rate, this is a good choice. There is nothing bad I can say about my Blazer. I am very pleased with it.

2005 Chevrolet Blazer LS Fleet Rwd 4dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 4A)
I have an 2005 Blazer and I haven't had any problems with it! It's my first vehicle and I love it! Has plenty of power, reliability and there is no rust at all!! I have 160000 thousand miles on it and it drives like it's an brand new vehicle. I think the reviews are a little off because this vehicle has no problems at all! I recommend this vehicle to anyone!

2005 Chevrolet Blazer LS 4WD 2dr SUV (4.3L 6cyl 5M)
I have my 2nd ZR2 model. I love it. Of course the true ZR2 was Not made for luxury or comfort. It was made for 4 wheel drive fun. Not urban commute, car- pooling people that don't know what 4 wheel drive is about. Like remembering to lube the transmission, u joints,etc. Too many people buy these type of vehicles and don't know what they were intended for. To class it with some of these … others is wrong. Yes, they are a dated style and as of this year will be no more They are cool, tough, & fun.
