Used Blazer: what to check
The current two-row Blazer returned for the 2019 model year, so most used Blazers on the market share its basic design; check which engine (2.0L turbo or 3.6L V6) and whether the V92 trailering equipment is on the build if you plan to tow.

Certified used Blazer: how CPO changes the decision
A used Blazer under 10 model years and 100,000 miles can be CarBravo certified at Swant Graber Motors in Barron, which adds a 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty with no deductible after a 126-item inspection.
- CarBravo certified: under 10 model years and 100,000 miles, 126-item inspection, 12-month/12,000-mile Bumper-to-Bumper Limited Warranty, no deductible.
- BravoBudget: 10–15 model years and/or 100,000–150,000 miles, 62-point inspection, 30-day/1,000-mile Powertrain Limited Warranty.
- Swant Graber Motors honors CarBravo's 10-day/500-mile Vehicle Exchange Program: within 10 days or 500 miles of purchase, whichever comes first; it's an exchange, not a refund.
- Non-certified used vehicles at Swant Graber include 45 days / 5,000 miles powertrain, on used units 10 model years or newer with under 150,000 miles. See dealer for details.
How it changes the decision: a certified late-model truck or SUV narrows the gap with new on peace of mind, so compare a CarBravo unit's remaining factory coverage plus the CarBravo warranty against a new vehicle's 3-year/36,000-mile bumper-to-bumper and 5-year/60,000-mile powertrain coverage.
