Overview & Reviews
The aging Blazer platform is due for a comprehensive redesign for 2002. As such, Blazer buyers this year will have to make do with slap-dash add-ons such as standard OnStar on the LT and TrailBlazer models. Xtreme, a new trim level on the two-door, two-wheel-drive model which includes a low-riding sport suspension lowered by 2.5 inches, body cladding and special wheels, is now available.
- Wide range of features and options, competent drivetrain.
- Spotty build quality, cheesy interior parts, uncomfortable rear seats, no V8 option.

BLAZER XTREME - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Lazaro - October 7 - 1:05 amI purchased a 2001 blazer xtreme in 2005 with 55,000 miles which i still own (176,000 miles now). I loved my blazer since day 1 and have to say it, I took my brothers 2013 honda civic to Santa Cruz and is this thing as fun to drive as my xtreme, NOT even close. For a chassis used for decades by GM on their blazer it is a outstanding small sporty SUV. Ones again, super fun to drive.

Best vehicle ever owned - still love it! - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Linda - August 26 - 10:34 amWe purchased this 2001 Blazer with the special Trailblazer trim package in 2004 (as the 2nd owner) with 40,000 miles on it and have had it ever since. For our other vehicle, weve gone through many other vehicles but cant part with this one because of how dependable and reliable it has been. With only routine maintenance expenses, it has 212,000 miles and is still going strong. I hear so many horror stories about the newer vehicles and am thankful Ive stayed with my trustworthy Blazer. The leather still looks great for its age and Ive never had a crack in the dash or anywhere else for that matter. Cant say enough good things about what a workhorse it has been over the years.

best vehicle ive ever own - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By tmmmsguy - October 19 - 12:20 pmI bought my 2001 Chevrolet blazer Lt fully loaded last year with income taxes and have yet to regret buying the truck only problem i have had out of it was the alternator went out last winter. the blazer is a good safe dependable truck that is fun comfortable easy to get in and out can fit friends that are 63" and my father that was 5"11" 250+ with plenty of comfort room for them. the specs say i should average roughly 19 mpgs but Ive never seen less than averaging roughly 20 mpg with it except for moving 300+ miles with a loaded down u haul trailer that made the back end drop 2" in pouring down rain handled the ice that we had last year without a problem on the highway and in town.

Still Running Strong! - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By 7ate9 - February 17 - 6:36 pmI have owned this truck for a little over 10 years now and bought it brand new in October 2000. I am lucky that I have a short commute and have only put 84,000 miles on it. I have not had any major issues except for repairs here and there. Recently the head gasket went, but my mechanic told me its because the coolant used by GM (DEX-COOL) actually deteriorated the gasket. There was a class action lawsuit about this back in 2005, but I did not know about it. Other than that, its been perfect. Its stil fun to drive and feel almost as good as the day I bought it. My only major complaint is gas mileage, especially compared to vehicles today. I usually get about 16-17 mpg on average.

2001 Trail Blazer - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By BG - August 28 - 11:28 amI first rented one at Jackson Hole Airport. Liked it so much I returned to Nashville and purchased one. It has been trouble free except for the smog pump failure at 90000 miles. I love driving it. Consumer Reports rates it bad and I rate it Excellent. Ive driven on long trips and its a joy. Easy to park and non-tiring on long trips. Two thumbs up!

Happy,Happy,Happy - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Happy,Happy,Happy - August 22 - 8:19 pmMy wife and I bought our Blazer used on jan.08. It had 148,551 miles on it, it now has 176,894. We have had only one problem with it (the fuel pump finally went out in it at 176,756). Other then that the rig is great. The 4.3l v6 is by far the best engine I have ever seen in a rig. Its a shame they quit making it. We love the 4x4 system it has, and we like the auto 4x4 option it came with. I wasnt shur I would like the push button 4x4, but I will have to say I am impressed with its ease going in and out of 4x4 mode. In all we couldnt be happier, and we plane on keeping it for a long time.

It is how it sounds! - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Supercharged Xtreme - April 29 - 3:16 amI bought my X-treme in 2008 with 76,000 miles for a daily driver and I fell in love. I go by people in X- treme pickups and they almost wreck seeing an X-treme Blazer. Im glad to see positive feedback from other X- treme owners cus it sounds like other models are goofing up. I am in the process of supercharging my blazer for some extra fun & that extra Umph of pulling into traffic but it does great while stock. It has a nice smooth ride and great stock looks I would never change. All my friends tried to buy it the first time they saw it. Im only 21, but I know a good Chevy when I see one & this is definitely one of them. My Chevys have always ran good, even my 1950 Chevy runs like a top!!

Excellent! - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Tor - August 23 - 9:41 pmIve owned my Blazer for almost 2yrs. and have loved every minute of it. It rides smoothly, has lots of power, have only had minor repairs and has a great Bose sound system. When purchased, my Blazer had 100,000km on it and it now has 140,000km. Only minor issues small coolant leak & brake light switch. Needs a new head gasket thought. I find it does tend to go through brakes quickly (appx. every 10 months). Extremely reliable, I live in Canada and get very cold and harsh winters. Hope this vehicle lasts cause I sure do enjoy driving it!

Excellent - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Linda & Charles - February 4 - 12:02 pmDriving the Blazer has been a blast. We purchased the Blazer in Oct, 2006 for mainly a vacation vehicle. But once we got into it and really started driving it around we fell in love. It is great on long distance trips as well as short trips to the grocery store. I hoping that you never discontinue this model because we have decided in a couple of years that we are going to trade in one of your other vehicles on a Chevy Blazer. We own all Chevys one is 47 years old and still runs like a champ. As a old fast lover Chevys. You have once again renewed my faith in Chevy. Thank you so much. It will always be a huge plus to own and drive a Chevy.

Blazers Are The Best - 2001 Chevrolet Blazer
By Cus - August 28 - 6:25 pmIve owned my Blazer for about 6 months now and it was my first car, and all I have to say is that I love it. It is a lot of fun to drive, but the fuel economy could be a little better. Overall, I think its a awesome truck and very reliable.
