I’m looking to update my 2011 F-150 V8 to something a little more fuel efficient. I’m getting around 17 mpg in my F-150. I don’t want something crazy small and have my eye on the Blazer. I’m probably looking at the Turbo 4-cylinder. If anyone has a Blazer, could you kindly provide your engine and MPG? Thanks.
I have a 2020 Blazer with the Turbo 4 and I’m getting about 24 mpg on the highway. It’s pretty decent for an SUV.
I have the V6 model and I’m averaging around 22 mpg. Not as good as the Turbo, but I like the extra power.

That’s good to know. I’m leaning towards the Turbo for the better fuel economy.
I’ve heard mixed reviews about the Blazer’s fuel economy though. Some say they get lower than expected in city driving.

Yeah, I can see that. I mostly drive on highways, so that might skew my numbers.

If you’re looking for efficiency, definitely consider the Turbo. It seems to have a better reputation for mileage.
Thanks for the advice. I’ll keep that in mind when I go to test drive.
I have a friend with a Blazer and they said they get about 20 mpg combined. So it really depends on your driving habits.

That sounds about right. I’ll have to see how my driving style affects the mpg.
