Americans have come to love their SUVs to the point where, for many, these vehicles have replaced the conventional and typically large sedans or station wagons of yesteryear. Most SUVs were based on existing truck chassis with the result that early examples lacked driving dynamics and creature comforts; in other words they were pretty basic but they were strong and powerful and soon became symbols of a new lifestyle.

Brooklands Books has been publishing motoring anthologies, such as this, on a wide range of makes and models for over 50 years. None of our 'road test' reference series could exist if it were not for the understanding and generosity of the worlds leading motoring journals, whose copyright material they contain. We are sure that Blazer owners will wish to join with us in thanking the publishers of the following magazines for their ongoing support: 4WD, 4-Wheel and Off Road, Autocar, Car and Driver, Complete Chevrolet Book, Four-Wheel Drive, Four Wheeler, Mechanix Illustrated, Motor Trend, Off Road Australia, Off Road Fun Cars, Off Road Vehicles, Overlander and PV4.
