2001 Chevy Tahoe Road Test

Way back in the 1970's, when the words sport utility had not yet been conceived, Chevrolet was bringing the K5 Blazer (and GMC Jimmy) to market. It was a massive beast, built on a pick-up truck chassis like its bigger brother Suburban, with a proud V8 engine up front. Although anything but refined by today's standards, the original Blazer would take you through the deepest mud puddles and over the rockiest crags without batting an eyelash. It was one serious off-roader, with a devoted following still to this day.
