An SUV produced by GMC from 1970-2005. There were two different sized models from 1982 until the 1992 model year when GMC renamed the larger K10 Jimmy the Yukon to distinguish it from the smaller S-15 version, which continued on until 2005.

Magazine covers include:
December 2002 Petersen's 4 Wheel & Off-Road (Mike Dunbar's green 1986 K5 Blazer in the mud)

History

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Chevrolet S-10 Blazer page on 31 July 2016, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

The Chevrolet Tahoe (and very similar GMC Yukon) are full-size SUVs from General Motors. Chevrolet and GMC sold two different-sized SUVs under their Blazer/Jimmy model names through the early 1990s. This situation changed when GMC rebadged the full-size Jimmy as the Yukon in 1992.

The following section is an excerpt from Wikipedia's Chevrolet S-10 Blazer page on 31 July 2016, text available via the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 3.0 Unported License.

The Chevrolet Blazer (4WD model T-10) and the similar GMC S-15 Jimmy (4WD model T-15) are mid-size SUVs from Chevrolet and GMC respectively. Production began alongside the larger K5 Blazer and Jimmy in 1982 and lasted through 2005. In the United States retail sales of two-door Blazer models ceased in 2004; all other models were sold until April 20, 2005. In the Canadian market, four-door models of the Blazer and Jimmy were sold until the 2004 model year and until the 2005 model year for the two-door models of both.

The S-series SUVs, so named because they were based on the Chevrolet S-10 and GMC S-15 pickup trucks, were produced in Pontiac, Michigan; Linden, New Jersey; Moraine, Ohio; Shreveport, Louisiana; and São Paulo, Brazil (the Brazilian version is based on the second-generation S-series; even though production ceased in the U.S., new Blazers are locally produced in Brazil with their own sheetmetal stampings). In North America, the Moraine plant produced only 4-door vehicles, with both 2- and 4-door models being produced at Linden, which was the main assembly plant after the switch (some time after 1995) from Pontiac, Michigan, which became a full-size truck plant.
