Expert 2001 Chevrolet Blazer review

Our expert's take

our expert's take

Vehicle Overview
A “low-rider” Xtreme model of the two-door Blazer is the big change for 2001, the last year for the current design. This midsize SUV will be redesigned for the 2002 model year. The Oldsmobile Bravada and GMC Jimmy share the same design, and Olds will be the first to market with the new version as an early 2002 model. Chevy will adopt the TrailBlazer name for the 2002 models.

Patterned after the Xtreme version of the S-10 pickup, the Blazer Xtreme has a lowered suspension, 16-inch tires and alloy wheels, and an aggressive exterior treatment with fender flares, side skirts, deep-tinted windows, and a body-color grille and front and rear fascias.

The Xtreme is available only with two-wheel drive to make it more affordable for the younger buyers it is expected to attract.

Exterior
The four-door Blazer rides a 107-inch wheelbase and is 183 inches overall, about 6 inches longer than the two-door in both dimensions. Both are available with a liftgate that swings up or a tailgate that drops down. With either, the rear window opens separately and flips up. The spare tire is stored beneath the rear of the vehicle.

Interior
The LT four-door has split front and rear bench seats for six-passenger capacity. Front buckets are standard on LT and TrailBlazer four-door models and all two-door Blazers. The two-door models have a two-place rear bench instead of a three-seat bench. With 6 inches more on the wheelbase and overall length, the four-door has a roomier rear seat and more cargo space (74 cubic feet vs. 67).

OnStar, General Motors’ satellite communication system, is a new standard feature for the LT and TrailBlazer four-door models. A floor-mounted automatic transmission lever is standard on the TrailBlazer and optional on the Extreme. All others have a column-mounted shift lever with the automatic.

Under the Hood
All models come with a 190-horsepower 4.3-liter V-6. A five-speed manual transmission is standard on the two-door and a four-speed automatic is optional. On the four-doors, the automatic is standard. Two 4WD systems are available. Insta-Trac is standard on LS 4x4s and is engaged by a dashboard switch. Autotrac is standard on other 4x4s and automatically engages when more traction is needed.

Antilock brakes are standard across the board.

Driving Impressions
Blazer offers roomy accommodations and capable 4WD systems at reasonable prices. There are plenty of alternatives, however, including the Jeep Grand Cherokee, Ford Explorer and Toyota 4Runner, all of which match Blazer in some key areas and exceed it in others. Take a look at the Blazer, but also check out some of its rivals.

  • Love my Blazer!!

    I bought my 2001 Blazer 2 door in 2004. It had only 23,000 miles on it. So Have owned it almost 16 years and it has 139,000 now. I rarely have a problem with it. The only problem I have lately is a fuel pump problem and I've read that this car just seems to have that problem. So for it's age, I still think it's a really great SUV!!

  • Comfort, ease of manuvering and parking

    Purchased from a friend, we are the 3rd owners. It is reliable, quiet engine. We took a 2000 mile road trip. I have back issues - this vehicle actually helped them. I had no flare ups the entire trip - going or coming. To me that's a 12 on a 1-10 for comfort. The seats fully recline. The second seat is full size, very handy. Lots of carrying room. 2nd seat folds down to make this an instant campsite sleeping area. Had one engine rebuild, runs like a dream.

  • I love my 2001 Blazer

    I bought my Blazer in April 2018. It had been garage kept with 95,000 miles. The person I bought it from kept all maintenance receipts. Although there was nothing wrong with it, I went a lot further than most people would do. Complete tune up, Transmission fluid changed, power steering and brake line fluid flush, gear oil changed, put in a front sway bar, fuel pump and sensor in gas tank installed, in line fuel filter replaced, new shocks, new Wrangler tires, and more. On the oil change I added Lucas Oil Stabilizer additive along with Lucas Fuel Injection Cleaner. Also added a new stereo system. All in all it rides like a Caddy.

  • Easy to park and always ready for any weather

    Surprisingly this car is very adaptable to whatever you need. Easy to park, amazing storage, great traction in any weather. Body on frame is very safe in a collision. Possibly the best visors ever made with coverage along the front and the full length of the side. 2WD, Auto 4WD, 4WHi and 4WLo all from the dash. I've owned many SUVs and the Blazer is unique. Fuel economy is the primary concern with this car.
