85 extended cab.... Whaaaaaa??

[CknightK10]

I wish they still made fullsize blazers.. but with all the extra cabs and crew cabs now they would be completely pointless

Pretty much, I think its the Tahoe that killed the K5 Blazer demand.

I think the Tahoe phased out mini vans also.

Crossovers is what phased out minivans. They are still small enough for women to like them but have most of the same features as a minivan.

Very good point. It just seemed like an explosion of SUV's around 2000 and alot fewer mini vans. I think your right about the crossover, but those came after suv's right?

 

[Old77]

Yeah...the SUVs started it but there were still a lot of minivan lovers out there but when the crossovers came out around 03 or so a lot of soccer moms went to those cuz of the suv 'feel' but all the amenities of a minivan....

Anybody else catch "American Restoration" last night? They were rebuilding an old golf cart for Rick Harrisons old man from "Pawn Stars" and the expert they called in for help was driving a SB extended cab dually! It was lifted up over chromed semi wheels, looked really really nice! Sorry just wanted to share...
And I hate to say it, but once you have driven a vehicle with sliding rear doors when you have kids you will wonder how you ever lived without them. I had a Mazda 5 for about a year and a half and it was one of my favorite vehicles. It got destroyed in a wreck BTW.

 

[RetroC10Sport]

Yep, saw that when it came out!

 

[Old77]

Well, I've got two kids and hopefully will have 3 at some point and we will never own a minivan!! I've just never been a van kinda guy and my wife doesn't like them either

 

[RetroC10Sport]

We have two wii-tards, but they're grown....Well, at least they're over 21, i wouldn't say they're grown since they both act like 2 year olds.

I really couldn't live without the Silhouette. The ol' girl has saved us more than once.

 

[Old77]

You must be older than I'd thought if you have two kids over 21 years of age...

You are I are both 33. My wife though is 49 and they're from previous marriages...I guess i should have said HER wii-tards...As i lay no claim to either one, they're both completely worthless.

 

[Old77]

That makes me feel a little better then!!! I didn't think you were that old!

Some day when I win the lotto and get to finish my 4x I will show you a kid haulin wheelin son of a b!@#$ well it works pretty good now but its a little cold in the snow with just a bikini top. Love the idea of the little bit longer wheelbase for climbing steeper ****. Eventually be bobbed 10 inches to accommodate a K5 top.
