Listen to this article The Chevrolet K5 Blazer was a long-running model of the Bow Tie brand, produced from the tail-end of the '60s up to the '90s. The two-door truck was used for a multitude of purposes – one of them was the rare Chalet Camper, made in collaboration with Chinook Mobilodge, Inc. The Blazer Chalet Camper had a cousin called the GMC Jimmy Casa Grande. Only 225 units of the Chalet's posher cousin were produced, which made the "Big House" motorhome relatively rare. One of those produced units is back to its former glory, thanks to a comprehensive restoration.

Listen to this article It looks like Toyota is ready to redesign its Tacoma pickup truck. A new video from the TFLnow YouTube channel has footage of the heavily camouflaged pickup completing high-altitude testing. This isn’t the first time we have spotted the truck out testing, but it hasn’t dropped any camouflage to really reveal anything new.
