Kinja'd!!!

I feel like the S10 Blazer is the 3rd Gen Camaro of SUVS. They’re quite nice trucks when they’re in good condition, however many of the ones you see are questionably maintained and owned by people that could possibly be described as “trashy”. (no offense to anyone here who may own one)

I have the truck version of the Blazer (the S10) and I can confirm this.

As someone who had one, you’re 3000% correct.

Also, teenagers who buy clean ones from what was probably the original owner and trash them.

Mm I want a ZR2.

This is totally accurate. They have their problems, but they’re so cheap and plentiful and useful. When I got mine, it wasn’t because I wanted a Blazer, but because it was the most versatile vehicle I could find for the least money.

100% with you. I’ve got a coworker who loves them and he’s told me same thing.

Who you calling trashy? I’ll have you know I paid a whole $250 for it. And it’s an award winning masterpiece.

The tires even magically hold air again. It’s great!

How many interior trim pieces are missing?

I had an S10 Blazer in ok shape as a loaner car, and I can safely say it’s one of the worst cars I have ever driven for longer than just the length of a test drive.

Off the top of my head, none. The coin holder deal is shattered but still around, the driver’s seat recline handle is also still kicking around but broken off (the shaft broke so it’s fubar) and the speaker cover on the rear passenger side door is broken. If there was a cargo shelf it’s missing, but other than that everything’s there. Don’t have any of the original manuals or documents but meh.

Some of the exterior trim is falling off, but none is actually missing, yet.
