This truck turns heads!

Cons

The suspension leaves little room for modification

Off Road/ Commuter Urban Assault Vehicle — Considering the basic SUV design of the Jimmy, I have found mine to be suprisingley efficient and comfortable. Decent gas mileage , with just enough get up and go when required. I have a blast driving this truck , I am approached and questioned about it regularily.

Good Truck Aside From Putting Some Money Into Parts 4 The Front End And Gas! Haha — its a good small truck... overall good truck. gotta love the 4x4 in the winter. the 4x4 gets you out of any jam. i wish it was a v8 but its ok. it has good torque. i also have goodyear wrangler duratracs on it. unstopiable!

4.3l motor, push button 4x4, lots of interior space

plastic on inside rattles, bad for front end work

Good Truck — good strong truck. it has 220000km and the motor still runs strong. the gas miliage isnt the best but its not bad i get around 500km to a tank driving it easy. the 4x4 works awsome. even for a 2dr my fat friends dont complane about room in the back. the interior rattles a little bit but nothing to cry over just put on the tunes. overall its a good vechile and i would recomend it for sure

1999 Gmc Jimmy — 1999 GMC Jimmy is a nice truck. It has a lot of towing capacity, and is the best vehicle I've ever driven in the snow. It looks good and is fully loaded, has a lot of great options. The mileage isn't great, but what do you expect from a truck.
