Those who attended the recent SEMA exhibition might recall the customized 2023 Chevy K5 Blazer. This unique vehicle, based on a Silverado platform, boasts a supercharged 5.3-liter V8 engine, Dirt King suspension, and rides on 37-inch Nitto Trail Grapplers. Crafted by Flat Out Autos in Jonesboro, Arkansas, this stunning masterpiece can be tailored to your preferences if you have the required funds and patience. Alternatively, you have the option to purchase the original show truck for $199,000.

This creation is truly a marvel, a shift from Flat Out’s previous portfolio of contemporary GMC Jimmy four-wheelers, marking their inaugural Chevy Blazer venture. Initially a single cab, short bed Silverado, it swiftly evolved into a ZR2 replica, albeit with enhanced power and long-travel suspension in lieu of Multimatic DSSV shocks.

The vehicle’s Fiberwerx widebody design is remarkably striking, complemented by its Glacier Blue Metallic finish. The carbon fiber roof for the rear portion, provided by Sankuer Composite Technologies, is detachable. Furthermore, a sturdy roll cage enhances both structural integrity and nostalgic appeal. It’s a feast for the eyes.

While specifics regarding its power output remain undisclosed, it undoubtedly packs a punch. A standard 5.3-liter Chevy small block emits 355 horsepower and 383 pound-feet of torque, but this variant features a Whipple supercharger affixed to it. HP Tuners has finely tuned its performance, with Flat Out affirming its readiness for off-road adventures. Embarking on an excursion in a 500+ hp beast like this would require minimal persuasion from my end.

Whether you reside near woodlands, deserts, coastal regions, or mountains, this exceptional 4×4 is a sight to behold anywhere. The current Blazer model offered by Chevy pales in comparison to this masterpiece. Despite its plethora of high-end additions, I can’t help but ponder the potential success of Chevy if it were to produce more vehicles akin to this one. Every time images of this vehicle surface online, enthusiasts clamor for an official factory rendition. Meanwhile, Flat Out continues to craft dreams on wheels, with this being a prime illustration.

Flat Out hasn’t published pricing for its custom-ordered K5s online so it’s challenging to compare the expenses. However, this one is currently accessible, which holds significant value for individuals with the required funds. For those lacking the necessary financial resources, the option to experience it in SnowRunner remains available.
