2001 GMC Jimmy Overview, Reviews, Ratings & Specs

Michael on December 18, 2024

Was just a little TLC, and a slightly bigger exhaust, this 4.3 V6 get as good a gas mileage as an LS body size vehicle if not better, IMO. I'm running 1700 RPM to do 75 miles an hour on the interstate. In this time of massive onboard equipment, I find that this GMC Jimmy of mine has just enough in the OBD2 system. The reliability factor is phenomenal in that I've already put 250,000 MI on this one and it still has all the original VIN stickers. I also love the fact that there's no coil springs on the suspension and the comfort level is spot on.

The 2001 GMC Jimmy SLT is the biggest waste of money I ever could have paid for, I paid 7500 USD for a southern rust free truck and spent over 40000 total just in repairs parts might be cheap for a gm but the quality sucks I have had it in a shop or on the side of the road more than I have driven it even when I got it used with 56k on the dashboard it had big problems. Been through 2 new reman 4.3 vortec v6 engines, transmission overheated badly inevitably needing a rebuild, and still overheated, so had to install a class a RV trans cooler just to keep temps down. Ontop of 4wd always having issues with the front diff leaking and a lot of wiring nightmares with it being an older truck now, wiring harnesses get brittle with age. The worst peeve I have had about it is the front door hinges and latches are garbage, I have to replace them every year because they do not hold. I owned my jimmy for 7 years and was the largest disappointment of a vehicle I've ever had

Have hunted for this truck to fix up. This is where the best price in the state was and in this time of panic cool thinking and good people make a difference. Thanks so much for all your efforts.

I've had the car for a long time since 2005. Overall I do like my Jimmy. I really liked my blazer better because of the interior design. The gear shift was on the steering column. To drink holders were on the console.

I owned a Jimmy to tow my mowers around and it did far more than I expected. It was able to tow more than ever needed it too.

All of these S Style Chevy's are great. They've never left me stranded. I've owned many of the S styles and have never been disappointed.

my uncle gave me this vehicle before he died, i have had for almost a few months, i like it is a good vehicle, it is 4x4 black exterior, black cloth seats, the driver seat has some tears, but i do not care about the tears just as long has it runs beautifully

Love my SUV on March 30, 2016

I wish all SUVs looked like this one. Most of them today have been made to look like station wagons. We've enjoyed our "Jimmy" for years and have never had any issues with it.

2001 4-door SLT with Auto 4-Wheel Drive. 245K on the odometer but idles perfectly and has incredible power tnd torque. Three snowy seasons in upstate New York and Massachusetts and have motored through the heart of several blizzards. With good Toyo All-Terrain tires and Auto 4-Wheel Drive, the Jimmy leaves newer SUVs on the side of the road. Amazing and safe. Keep your Jimmy maintained and the VORTEC will last 500K - many delivery vans are running around town with the same engine. Seat warmers compensate for the weak little heater.

i bought the 2001 jimmy after my daughter totaled my 1998 jimmy. I absolutely love this vehicle. the only complaint is the four wheel drive. factory defect on both years gmc never figured it out. so i had to fix it on my own on both models and havent had any problems since. wish it had better gas milage also but ths is a wonderful vehicle to own.
