1982 Chevrolet C/K Blazer Manufacterer Promotional Video
Even though there are always fan boys claiming they would lay their money on the table to buy a potential model, it’s hard for manufacturers to justify the possibility of a huge sales failure, particularly when vehicles rarely leave pavement these days. News for Blazer in 1982 was the newly available Diesel, increasing payload and towing significantly, adding to its already versatile package. As seen in the video, choices abound from driving wheels, 6 cylinder, or V8, gasoline or diesel, and various other rear axle choices. Although the front valance was designed to guide air around the front clip, it is interesting to use the term aerodynamic when describing the front styling, clearly they were reaching a bit on that accolade. Touting more room than a full size station wagon, payload capacity was a definite pro for this full size truck based utility. With the addition of the new for 1982 6.2L Diesel V8, the Blazer became stronger. And because the big 2-door Blazer is no longer offered,, strong also describes the fan base of the K-Blazer, regardless of vintage! .
