Comparison Review

Comfort
Passengers in the backseat will be able to stretch out a lot more in the Lexus GX 550 than in the Chevrolet Blazer, due to its greater head- and legroom. As far as headroom and legroom go, there's not much difference between front seat comfort in the Chevrolet Blazer and the Lexus GX 550.

Convenience
Due to the larger tank size and better fuel economy of the Chevrolet Blazer, you will definitely be making fewer stops at the gas station than with the Lexus GX 550.

Cost

Due to its much higher torque, the Chevrolet Blazer does a much better job of transmitting its engine's horsepower to its wheels than the Lexus GX 550.
