What year was the first Chevrolet Blazer made?

I’ve been looking for a used SUV to make into a rock crawler, and I’d heard good things about old Chevy Blazers. What was the first year they were made?

Rock crawlers can take pretty heavy beatings, so it’s good that you’re looking for an inexpensive used vehicle to start your build. As to what year the first
Chevrolet Blazer
was made—that depends on the body style you’re curious about for your Blazer.
When it was initially introduced in 1969, the Chevy Blazer was a short-wheel-base pickup, not the SUV we’re familiar with today. This pickup style lasted through the early 80s, when the full-size SUV we’ve come to know and love was introduced.
When the Tahoe was introduced in 1995, the Blazer saw a significant dip in sales and eventually left
Chevrolet’s
lineup in 2005. As of 2019, the Blazer is back with a new look, a fuel-efficient powertrain, and solid off-road and towing capabilities.
