Vehicle Highlights
Launched in 1983, GMC's S15 Jimmy and the nearly identical Chevrolet S10 Blazer were among the first compact sport-utility vehicles. A potent 4.3-liter V6 was the standard engine by 1990, and Jimmy could have either 2- or 4-wheel drive. Antilock rear brakes were standard, but power steering was standard only on 2WD models. All 4x4s got GM's Insta-Trac 4WD, a part-time system not for use on dry pavement. Automatic-locking front hubs and shift-on-the-fly were included. Front bucket seats were standard; a 2-place rear bench with folding seatback optional.
