Finally, a 2023 Chevy K5 Blazer

Ever wonder out loud, "Why doesn't Chevy make the Blazer anymore?" And then someone says "Chevy still makes the Blazer, silly! It's this." And then they pull up a picture of a Camaro crossover. That's not a Blazer. That was never a Blazer. Leave it to the aftermarket to fix that.

If you're at SEMA this year, you'll see the work of a company called Flat Out Autos. Known for making a modern GMC Jimmy—as well as new Tahoes with classic K5 fascias—it's also built a new Blazer. It's an actual 4x4 based on a full-size Silverado that we can all enjoy. It doesn't have the big 6.2-liter or Multimatic shocks, but It's been heavily modified in the right direction, and it's a truck a lot of people would buy if they could.

The build took months and was carefully documented on the company's Instagram page. It started life as a bone-stock single-cab Silverado 1500. Major changes have been made on the outside to complete the look, but a lot is going on underneath, too. The truck has 37-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers, long-travel suspension from Dirt King with custom Fox coilovers, and a Whipple blower on the 5.3-liter small block.
