Vehicle Highlights
The redesigned GMC Jimmy came in 2- and 4-door body styles, with rear-wheel drive or on-demand, part-time 4-wheel drive. Permanently engaged 4WD became available in mid-1995. Chevrolet continued to offer their similar Blazer. Wheelbase remained the same as before, but both bodies were 4.8 inches longer overall and 2.4 inches wider. Each wore rounded sheetmetal, and the 2-door featured slanted rear roof pillars. Interior reworking included addition of the driver-side airbag. A 195-horsepower 4.3-liter V6 was the sole engine with a 4-speed automatic transmission standard. Five-speed manual shift would became available later, but only on 2-door models. Full-time 4-wheel antilock brakes returned as standard equipment.
