GMC Jimmy – General Motors' truck-brand SUV listed as a van: eight-cylinder engines from 4.9 to 6.2 litres of displacement, unladen weights around 2.2 to 2.5 tonnes
The GMC Jimmy is the SUV counterpart within General Motors' commercial brand GMC to the Chevrolet Blazer, with which it shares body and mechanicals; GMC traditionally sells trucks, pickups and vans, while Chevrolet is the higher-volume sister brand. The type suffixes in the model names, such as EK18C or the Sierra Classic trim line, come from Dutch registration codes, under which the Jimmy is listed here as a light commercial vehicle rather than a car, supplemented by the 4WD and 4X4 markings for the four-wheel-drive versions.

The register lists here 6 versions with eight-cylinder engines of 4,903 to 6,210 cm³ displacement, unladen weights from 2,150 to 2,500 kg, gross weights from 2,775 to 2,835 kg, lengths from 4,700 to 5,000 mm and widths from 2,020 to 2,160 mm.
In the 1970s and 1980s the Jimmy stood for the rugged, ladder-frame American SUV with V8 engines, in direct competition with the Ford Bronco and International Harvester Scout; registered as a light commercial vehicle, owners in Europe benefited from lower tax rates than a car registration would carry.
When buying used, check corrosion on the ladder frame and rear wheel arches, the condition of the driveshaft and transfer case on four-wheel-drive versions, carburettor or early injection technology on the V8 engines, and brakes and wheel bearings under the high unladen weight; parts are available through the US import market and GM specialists.
