There is something decidedly rich about the outward appearance of an S-10 Blazer with standard exterior trim. A number of features combine to make a styling statement worthy of much more expensive vehicles. Chromed front and rear bumpers with black rub strips. Bright metal hubcaps with black trim on 2WD models and black hub covers on 4x4 models. Aerodynamically shaped, black painted right-hand and left-hand outside mirrors. Argent painted wheels. Look inside the standard S-10 Blazer and you'll discover its interior has also elevated the meaning of the word "standard." A comfortable traveling environment for up to four adults. The high-back front bucket seats are foam-padded, as is the optional folding rear bench seat. Tinted glass on all windows. Color-keyed steering wheel. Side window defoggers. Color-keyed door panels with map pockets. Entry to the optional rear seat is easy with a "memory" right front seat. Just fold the passenger seat forward and push for rear access. The front "memory" seat will return to its original setting with just a nudge. Color-keved rubber mat for the entire floor area. Headlamps-on warning buzzer. Passenger grab handle over right-hand door (4x4 model only). 28.1 cu. ft. of luggage space behind the optional folding rear bench seat (increasing to 67.3 cu. ft. when seat is folded down).
The up-level Tahoe trim really puts the S-10 Blazer squarely into the category of very nice truck— very nicely appointed, inside and out. In addition to or replacing standard S-10 Blazer equip-ment, the optional Tahoe Custom Trim Package features: EXTERIOR. Black body-side moldings with bright trim. Bright wheel opening moldings. Bright wheel trim rings. Body-color door handle inserts. Black applique on tailgate with bright "Chevrolet" lettering. INTERIOR. "Tahoe" nameplate on stowage box door. A choice of Custom Vinyl or Special Custom Cloth seat trim. (Genuine leather seat trim and reclining high-back bucket seats are optional at extra cost.). Color-keyed carpeting for the entire floor area. Gage package including volt-meter, oil pressure gage, engine temperature gage and trip odometer. Zippered rear storage pock-ets. (included with optional rear seat only). Color-keyed spare tire cover. Special Custom Cloth door trim panels with carpeted lower insert, pocket and coin holder in driver door. Color-keyed cowl kick panels. Carpeted lower rear quarter and endgate panels. Right-hand visor mirror.
Many people in the market for an S-10 Blazer are a little partial to the 4x4 model. If you're one of them, you may want your S-10 Blazer to be especially rich in 4x4 style and luxury. That's what the High Country option package is all about. INTERIOR. Reclining front seat-backs. Deep-tinted glass (with light-tinted rear window). Center storage console. The High Country package requires these options: Tahoe or Sport trim, a Saddle interior, Custom Two-Tone paint and white-lettered tires. EXTERIOR. Midnight Black/Nevada Gold. Custom Two-Tone paint. Graduated-color body-side decals. Black chrome grille. Black chrome headlamp trim, tail-lamp trim, door handles and nameplates. Black Below Eyeline mirrors. Color-keved front and rear bumpers. Special gold-tone aluminum wheels.
Quite simply, it doesn't get any better than this: The Sport Trim Package is the top-of-the-line S-10 Blazer trim option, available for both 2WD and 4x4 models. The Sport package includes all the items in the Tahoe pack-age, plus a number of additions or tasteful alternatives. From the outside, several features combine to distinguish the S-10 Blazer Sport: Sport Two-Tone paint. Rally Wheels (2WD model). Argent wheels with black hub covers (4x4 model). Color-keyed front and rear bumpers with black rub strips. Black chrome grille and headlamp bezels. Black plastic wheel opening and body-side moldings. Bright wheel trim rings. Black chrome door handles. From the inside…. well, the inside deserves a presentation all its own.
The Deluxe Cloth upholstery on the S-10 Blazer Sport's reclining front bucket seats is a major indication that trucking has indeed come a long way. (Gen-uine leather seating surfaces are available at extra cost.) Other Sport interior trim features include: Bright "Sport" nameplate on stowage box door. Deluxe Cloth trim panel inserts. Color-keyed Sport steering wheel with the appearance of leather. Color-keyed center console with lockable compartment.
The instrument panel in S-10 Blazer Sport (identical to that found in Tahoe) makes an excellent first impression. In large part because it is laid out so functionally. Imagine yourself with so much instrumentation within easy view or easy reach. A comprehensive gage package consisting of voltmeter, oil pressure gage, engine temperature gage, fuel gage and trip odometer. (A tachometer is available at extra cost.) Illuminated controls for lights, heater, optional rear defogger, optional air conditioning and optional Delco stereo sound system. An easy-to-read bar graph speedometer. Gray textured trim on instrument cluster faceplate.
