1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER

The introduction of the third-generation K5 Blazer in 1992 signaled the end of the detachable roof, with all models gaining a full-length steel top as standard equipment. At launch, the sole engine choice was a 5.7-liter V8 with 210 horsepower, mated to either a five-speed manual or a four-speed automatic gearbox, depending on your preference. There were two-wheel drive and four-wheel drive options available. The standard four-wheel antilock brakes, towing capabilities of up to 7,000 pounds, a quieter ride, and optional six-passenger seating were all notable features of the vehicle. This article focuses on the 1993 Chevrolet Blazer.

Introducing in 1994, the large Blazer received a 6.5-liter turbocharged diesel V8 engine with 180 horsepower and 360 pound-feet of torque, which would serve as the vehicle’s last model year before being phased out. From 1995 forward, the SUV would be referred to as the Yukon, and a new four-door body design would be introduced, with the two-door version finally being phased out.

Overview:

The 1993 CHEVROLET BLAZER has 3 trim levels:

• LT
• LS
• Base

Performance

With the addition of a 4-speed electrically powered automatic transmission, the Blazer can now be equipped with a transmission that monitors fuel injection rate, driving habits, spark ignition, idle speed, even internal transmitting temperature, and exhaust gas recirculation to determine shift points. In slick situations, there’s even a second gear that kicks in to provide you more traction right away. Another advantage is that the 4-speed transmission is smoother and quieter than before—almost like driving a premium automobile.

Fuel Economy

The same 5.7-liter, 210-horsepower V-8 is found under the hood, which results in a pretty pitiful 13 miles per gallon in the city and 16 miles per gallon on the interstate. If only Chevrolet could improve its fuel economy to 15-16 miles per gallon in the city and 20 miles per gallon on the interstate. There was one upgrade made to the engine. The fan does not turn on when the engine is turned on to limit noise. Another characteristic that might be found in a premium vehicle.

Anti-Lock Brakes and Insta-Trac

As standard equipment, four-wheel anti-lock brakes and Insta-Trac, which allows the driver to transition from one mode to another on the fly, are also included. With Insta-Trac, you must still move a lever on the transfer case rather than just pressing a button on the dash, as you would with the smaller, more compact Chevrolet S-10 Blazer, to engage 4WD. The push-button system would be ideal since it would give quick 4WD traction while also saving room by removing the transfer case on the floor in front of the vehicle. Push-button 4WD will be available for the large Blazer, although it will not be available until 1995 at the earliest.

The Drive and The Ride

This is an enjoyable combination of suspension and steering, which would have been even more enjoyable had the oversized LT265/75R16C tires not been substituted for the standard LT225/75R16C all-season tires. The suspension and steering were lifted from the C/K truck, which made for an even more enjoyable combination. Because they’re just big enough to raise the center of gravity high enough, you’ll have to take your foot off the pedal on those huge curving merging ramps to prevent top-heaviness and wobbling while driving.

Seating and Comfort

Inside, the bucket seats are supportive in the front and pleasant in the back. The same may is true about the bench in the rear. Among the thoughtful additions are twin cupholders in the huge center console/storage hold upfront and individual cup holders incorporated into the walls in the rear. The cloth seats are protected with Scotchgard, and Solar-Ray glass absorbs UV radiation to keep the inside cooler.

Exterior Features

The 1993 Chevrolet Blazer exterior features, such as two-sided galvanized steel on all body panels save the top, anti-stone-chipping paint, rocker panels, and plastic wheel-well covers, assist the vehicle shed its rusted-prone image. The car was equipped with a full-size spare tire mounted on the sidewall of the rear bumper. There is less storage space than you would have had if the tire had been installed outside, but there is enough storage space in the rear to make the sacrifice not be detrimental to the vehicle’s performance. And if you need to carry a heavy load, the Blazer has a towing capacity of 7,000 pounds.
