My dad has an old Chevy Blazer that he wants to give me. He’s planning on flat towing it across the country so it doesn’t rack up a ton of miles. Is this okay, or will it damage the Chevy?

What a great gift! Thanks, Dad. Many Chevy Blazer models can be flat towed. However, you’ll want to consult your model year’s owner’s manual just to be sure.
Let’s discuss that in detail.
Flat towing involves towing a vehicle on its own four wheels behind a motorhome, pickup truck, or another vehicle to transport it.
Many Chevrolet Blazer models can be flat towed; however, some older models cannot.
The best way to check to see if your Chevy Blazer can be flat towed is to consult the vehicle’s owner’s manual. If your dad can’t find the owner’s manual, an online copy should be available or he can call his local Chevrolet dealership to ask.
If the vehicle cannot be flat towed, we recommend towing it on a flatbed tow truck.
