General Motors has stopped using the "AHS2" name as of 2006, preferring to call it simply a two-mode hybrid system.
The Chevrolet K5 Blazer is a full-size sport-utility vehicle that was built by General Motors. GM's smallest full-size SUV, it is part of the Chevrolet C/K truck family.

Both were short-wheelbase trucks and available with either rear- or four-wheel drive.
