1996 GMC Jimmy SLS review from North America
"It was worth what I had paid for it"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Nothing that I haven't caused.
I don't really like the push button 4 wheel drive, but I can live with it.
General comments?
It takes the dirt and mud trails quite nicely.
It handles the road really good.
Really good on gas while still having the power I need.
I have taken this truck out 4 wheeling quite a bit and am very surprised on how it has held up after some of the abuse that I had put it through out there on the trails and the rocks. It is still stock, I haven't done any modifications to it. I had to replace the alternator because it got filled with mud it was a little expensive for a new one, but I replaced it and down the road I went. It is a very good truck and it has taken me many places from Everett, WA to Placerville, CA with out no problems. Being in the Navy I have a lot of road to travel to go home and back to the ship, it hasn't let me down. I would like to get another Jimmy when I retire this one.
