Title: Blazer/jimmy vs. pickup weight:
Post by: Stewart G Griffin on December 05, 2010, 03:30:47 PM

Are blazers lighter than a pickup?   If so, by how much?

ASSume iron small block in all examples.

Example a)  4wd blazer vs. 2wd longbed

Ex b) 4wd blazer vs. 4wd longbed

Lots of variables here.
You have to compare apples to apples.
Air Cond alone could add about 150 pounds to any 1 of these trucks.

Generally speaking a loaded Blazer is 4450, a LWB pickup is about 4200-4600, so about the same depending on the options.
