Did Chevy make a 2wd Blazer?
Yes. Chevrolet did offer two-wheel-drive Blazer variants in several generations, notably the S-10 Blazer (1983–1994) in 2WD form and the modern Blazer (2019–present) available with front-wheel drive (FWD), which is effectively a 2WD configuration for everyday driving. Older full-size Blazer models tended to be 4x4, but 2WD options did appear in later generations.
Below is a closer look at how 2WD appeared in the Blazer lineup, from the compact era to the present day, and what buyers could expect in terms of drivetrain and market positioning. The Blazer lineage has frequently emphasized off-road capability, yet Chevrolet did provide two-wheel-drive variants to meet fuel economy, price, and city-driving needs.
Two-wheel-drive options across Blazer generations
The following highlights show where 2WD variants were available within the Blazer family, illustrating how the model evolved from a rugged, off-road focus to include everyday four-season practicality with 2WD options.
- S-10 Blazer (1983–1994): Offered in both 2WD and 4WD configurations, giving buyers a choice between rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive depending on needs and budget.
- Chevrolet Blazer (2019–present): The current generation is offered with front-wheel drive (FWD) or all-wheel drive (AWD); the FWD setup functions as the two-wheel-drive option for typical daily use.
Across these periods, the Blazer nameplate shows that two-wheel-drive configurations were indeed available, particularly in the S-10 Blazer era and in the modern, unibody Blazer lineup. The full-size K5/BLAZER lineage, by contrast, was predominantly associated with four-wheel-drive setups in its traditional form.
Summary
Chevrolet has produced Blazer models in 2WD configurations across multiple generations. The most notable early example is the S-10 Blazer (1983–1994) with 2WD options, and in the contemporary era, the Blazer (2019–present) offers a 2WD-friendly setup through its FWD configuration, alongside AWD for those who want it. While the classic full-size Blazer was typically 4x4, the modern lineup and the compact era demonstrate that 2WD Blazers have indeed existed.
