The second-generation pickups appeared in 1993 for the 1994 model year. All special models (Syclone, Typhoon, Sonoma GT) had now disappeared, but the changes brought the cars on a plane with the Ford Ranger . The Iron Duke engines and the 2.8-liter V6 engine were no longer available; only the 4.3-liter V6 engine and a new 2.2-liter R4 engine derived from the old Cavalier engine were added. In this generation airbags were introduced as safety equipment for the first time , which came however only in the second model year (1995). The vehicles of other manufacturers, which appeared this year as a new generation, for. As the Dodge Ram Van 1994 had models without airbag.

The door contains side-impact protection and can be opened only when the front door is open. The short bed is six feet long and the long bed is 7.5 feet. The standard slab-sided cargo bed is called Fleetside, and the optional flared-fender cargo bed is called Sportside and is available with the 6-foot-long bed. A driver-side air bag, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes, and day-time running lights are standard.
Regular-cab S-Series pickups come with a standard 3- place bench seat. Extended-cab models add two rear jump seats, though the left-side jump seat is eliminated on models with the third door. Front bucket seats are optional.

Most suspension components were adopted by the previous generation, as were the steering, the leaf springs and the differential. In this second generation, there was also an optional 8.5 "differential (usually in the S-series four-wheel drive vehicles together with the ZR2 off-road package and 2000-2003 also in rear-wheel drive models with the Xtreme package).

Generally there was the 8.5 "differential only with a manual gearbox and the big 4.3L V6 engine; in the four-wheel models, there was this differential with each gearbox. This year, GM also introduced the ZR2 off-road package.

The 4.3-liter V6 engine was redesigned in 1996 and the extended-cab version got a third door. In 1998, revised the exterior, the interior, the brakes and the 2.2-liter R4 engine. In 1999, there were on request the four-wheel drive Auto-Trac Blazer. Likewise, the SS package was replaced by the Xtreme package.  As of 2001, there was a crew cab version , but only with all-wheel drive and automatic transmission.

The Xtreme package was available for all cabs, wheelbases and drives. It was only available from the factory with the 2 "(50 mm) lower ZQ8 sports suspension. The Xtreme package consisted of a lower body, a "Ground Effects" package along the entrances and the bunk, signage plates on the front doors and tailgate, and Goodyear's 23 "aluminum wheels with 235/55 R16 tires . On request, there were also rally stripes and a heat graphic package, individually or in combination, to.

S10 SS 

The SS (Super Sport) option package, available on 2WD regular-cab, short-bed LS models, includes a sport suspension, body-color grille, and alloy wheels. An off-road package called the ZR2 Wide Stance Sport Performance.

The Chevrolet S10 SS was the high-performance version of the S10 and was introduced in 1993. Less than 3000 were produced on average annually. When it was introduced, the SS was only available in three colors: Onyx Black, Apple Red or Summit White. The SS was made only until 1998, then replaced him from the S10 Xtreme.

The 4.3-liter V6 engine (also available on request for the other S10s) was the usual SS engine. It produced 180 hp (134 kW) or 195 hp (145 kW). The SS design was associated with lower ground clearance, cosmetic changes such as a different grille, body color bumpers, 16 "wheels and other sports modifications. All SS versions had a normal cab.

In September 1982, Chevrolet launched a smaller blazer than Blazer S-10 . 106,000 blazers were sold in the first year of production.

The Chevrolet Blazer was revised in October 1994 both technically and visually fundamentally. In 1998 there was another facelift.

In parallel, GM launched the GMC S-15 Jimmy . In 1991, the production of the Oldsmobile Bravada was recorded. All three SUVs were based on the same platform, with the GMC Jimmy and the Chevrolet Blazer offered largely identical equipment variants, while the Oldsmobile Bravada was settled in the higher-quality segment.

As of 1999, a higher-quality equipment package was offered under the name TrailBlazer and 2000 was a new model with this name in the sales. While the three-door model was still regularly offered, the five-door model could only be ordered as a fleet vehicle. In December 2005, the production of the Blazer was discontinued.
