Expert Answers about Chevrolet Blazer


  • Parts Needed to Flat Tow 2022 Chevy Blazer with 2.0 liter Turbo Engine
  • We have all of the components needed to flat tow your 2022 Chevy Blazer with the 2.0 turbo engine. The first thing you need is the Roadmaster base plate kit part # RM28VR which provides the connection point between the vehicle and the tow bar. In addition to the base plates, you will also need a compatible tow bar, safety cables, lighting, and supplemental braking to flat tow your vehicle. The most popular compatible tow bar is the Falcon All Terain, # RM-522. This has non-binding arms...

  • Trailer Hitch for a 1987 Chevy Blazer Monster Truck with Deep Drop Bumper
  • Deep drop bumpers are about 10 inches tall. It looks like in the picture you have submitted the vehicle already has one. The one hitch for your 1987 Chevy Blazer # 75129 is designed so that the receiver fits right under the stock bumper. It would not work with a deep drop bumper. So what I recommend is a weld-on hitch, # 41990-16, because the tall brackets will allow you to mount the hitch lower to compensate for the bumper. I recommend having a professional welder perform the installation. To...

  • Watersports Trailer That Will Fit Through A 5'8" Gate
  • The Malone LowBed MicroSport Trailer with V-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 800 lbs # MAL52FR has crossbars that are not meant to be removed. The crossbars measure 78" long and for that reason I recommend going with a different trailer that will fit your 5'8" gate without removing anything from the trailer. I would look into the Malone EcoLight Sport Trailer with J-Style Carriers for 2 Kayaks - 400 lbs # MAL93FR which has J-cradles for 2 kayaks just like the LowBed MicroSport. This will...

  • Are There Air Bags for a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer 4x4
  • I do have an option for you though we do not have any air bag kits for a 2001 Chevrolet Blazer, custom or universal. That said, we do still have an option for you to help with load leveling, the Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement System part # TGMRJB which feature a bolt-on install. The main difference between these and air bags is that air bags are adjustable but these will actually provide more support and require no maintenance.

  • Parts Needed to Add a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2004 Chevy Blazer
  • Since your 2004 Chevy Blazer does not have any type of trailer connector you will first need to install a 4-Way flat connector, # 18252. Then you can use the 4 and 7-Way installation kit, # ETBC7, which comes with everything you will need to maintain the 4-Way and add a 7-Way. It also includes components to hardwire in a brake controller. Adding a 4-Way first makes it easier to install the 7-Way so that is the main reason you would install it first. If you decide you need a brake controller...

  • Recommendation for Weight Distribution for a 2003 Chevy Blazer Towing a Two Horse Trailer
  • According to the research I have done, the 2003 Chevy Blazer had a max towing capacity of 5,700 pounds (2-door, 2 wheel drive LS model which had the highest). The trailer hitches we offer for the Blazer have a max towing capacity of 6,000 pounds when using weight distribution. I recommend checking the owners manual or contacting a Chevy dealer to determine the official towing capacity of your Blazer before towing. When choosing a weight distribution system, you will want one that has a...

  • Best Hitch and E-Bike Rack for a 2022 Chevrolet Blazer
  • The hitch that I recommend for your 2022 Chevrolet Blazer is the Curt Trailer Hitch Receiver # C13418. This hitch is made in the USA, has a bolt-on, no-drill installation and will provide you with a 2" receiver which is the most common size used for hitch mounted accessories like a bike rack. The bike rack I recommend for your E-bikes is the Yakima OnRamp Bike Rack for 2 Electric Bikes # Y36FR. This bike rack can handle 2 E-bikes up to 66 lbs. per bike and includes a ramp that helps you...

  • Recommended Weight Distribution System with Sway Control for 6,000 Pound Camper Trailer
  • With a 6,000 pound camper trailer you're not likely going to need a weight distribution system rated for 1,000 pounds of tongue weight. Tonge weight is generally about 10-15 percent of the trailer, so unless you're at the high end of that range by fully loading your trailer and putting a lot of that weight on the tongue you'll want a lower rated system. Using a system that is rated too high will cause your ride to be rough and rigid. The best way to determine your exact tongue weight...

  • Are There Any Aluminum Cargo Carriers With An Angled Shank?
  • I do have a solution for you, however, there are currently no aluminum cargo carriers with an angled shank. Curt Cargo Carrier for 2" Hitch # C18100. This aluminum carrier is very lightweight at only 29 lbs, yet has a weight capacity of 500lbs. The carrier is straight shank, however, pairing it with the Curt Multipurpose Ball Mount 2" Receiver # D210 would allow you to raise the cargo carrier approximately 4". It would also serve a dual purpose and allow you to install a lower hitch...

  • Rear Helper Springs, Not Air Bags, for a 1972 Chevy Blazer 4x4
  • While there isn't a Timbren system that is designed to fit your 1972 Chevy Blazer 4x4 I do have a solution for you. For a suspension enhancement system that will fit and that is not an air bag system you can use RoadActive Suspension Kit Item # RAS4511. This system will also help reduce sag, body role, axle wrap, wheel hop and increase handling like other upgrades. And like Timbren springs once the active suspension system is installed it does not require maintenance. I have linked a video...

  • Adapter Solution for Going from Military 12 Pin Trailer Connector to Standard 4 or 7-Way
  • We do not offer any wiring adapters to convert a 12-pin female connector on a military vehicle to a standard RV-style 7-way like # 37185 or a 4-pole like # 18252. But you can install a different type of trailer socket on the truck by hardwiring one. Based on the information I could find about your military connector the wires have letter codes on them and carry the following functions common on most trailers: J is the right turn signal B is left turn signal E is tail lights D is ground K...

  • Should Tandem Axle Trailer with 3,500 lb Axles have Brakes on Both Axles
  • It's up to you if you prefer having brakes on both axles or just one. Both setups are pretty common but obviously having brakes on both would give you the best stopping ability. For your tandem axle utility trailer, the 3,500 lb axles make it easy to add electric brakes. For 3,500 lb axles you will use 10 inch assemblies. My recommendation is the Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 10" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 3,500 lbs # AKEBRK-35-SA for each axle. These assemblies...

  • Does 2022 Chevy Blazer Need to Turn Off Overdrive When Towing
  • I wasn't able to find anything in your owners manual about turning off the overdrive when towing but there is a Tow/Haul mode you can select that would optimize the shifting, steering effort, and trailer sway control. For a hitch the Draw Tite Class III hitch part # 76023 is a confirmed fit and would be a really great choice.

  • Recommended Trailer Hitch Receiver and Wiring Harness For a 2023 Chevrolet Blazer
  • Yes, we have our etrailer Trailer Hitch Receiver # e36YR which fits all trims on your 2023 Chevrolet Blazer besides the premier trim. I prefer this receiver over others as it uses the matte black finish which best accents the OEM fascia trim and I find is more durable. I recommend installing either the 4-Way Flat T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118720 or 7-Way T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness # 118276 when you install the receiver. The 4-way harness is best with Auxiliary Lights # C53201 and...

  • Parts Needed to Install InvisiBrake on 2022 Chevy Blazer
  • To use the Roadmaster Invisibrake part # RM-8700 in your 2022 Chevy Blazer you will need the Stop Light Switch # RM-751483 and you'd be set. Everything else you already have unless you were planning on keeping the components in the Wrangler and were wanting to have a second vehicle you could flat tow. In that case you would need the Invisibrake Second Vehicle kit part # RM-98700 which comes with just the components needed for your Blazer. We have not had chance to install this on a Blazer...
