Question What was the slogan for our trucks?

We all know that the slogan the past few years have been "LIKE A ROCK" but I can't remember the slogan they used for our trucks. Does anyone remember what it was?

Buy a Chevy if you want a real truck and dont want to get stuck"

Guess I'm in the minority because I'm taking this thread seriously! Good ones though!!

Here's another that supports the 'tough' slogan.

I never heard that before "Built to Stay Tough". Any other used for 73-87?

I hate the tire and rim combo on the Blazer Chalet in the first picture. What were they thinking? I do like the "safari" position on the convertable. Kinda cool, I never seen one in real life.

They've been using that for a long time now. That sucks that they have to copy the Chevy slogan.

"Built to Stay Tough" is what I remember.

But I like "Have you Driven OVER a Ford Lately"
