  Good Vehicle - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By Pat S. - November 10 - 2:00 am

  I bought my 2001 GMC Jimmy SLS used in 2004. It was a dealer buy-back because of electrical problems. I have 118,000 miles on it with no serious mechanical repairs. Yes, it has needed brakes, but thats normal. Had a serious vibration problem which was found to be missing washers in the hood hinges. A cheap repair and its quiet. I like this vehicle a lot. My only regret is that it isnt 4 wheel drive.

  Awesome! - 2001 GMC Jimmy

  Excellent handling in snowy conditions. Ive repalced in the five years owned the water pump, breaks, rotars, Thermostat, wheel bearings, tires, a/c condensor, fuel pump, alternator, fuel gauge & battery. It has over 130,000. miles on it and runs great. With the money Ive put into it I feel like I have a whole new suv. What else could go wrong? I love my Jimmy! Comfort and ease. Love all the little gadgets and stereo system on the steering wheel. Bose stereo! Excellent system.

  Just what I expected - 2001 GMC Jimmy

  All the repairs I have read in this forum about the Jimmy are typical! Dont whine about it! The Jimmy is a heavy truck! Replacing wheel bearings/hub assembly is normal. Gas mileage isnt the best, but the Jimmy is an SUV not a Ford Pinto. Every vehicle has pros and cons, things dont last forever! I service my own vehicles, If you are car savy, I recomend this vehicle as you can probably do most the maintainance and repairs yourself. The only bad experience ive had is paying a dealer $900.00 to replace the fuel pump. Take care of this SUV and it will take care of you. If you had a bad experience, Im sorry. Potential buyers dont be scared off by complainers. I highly recomend!

  Everything I expected - 2001 GMC Jimmy

  I bought this SUV new from the dealership in 2001. I now have 90,000 miles on it. I get around 18 MPG city and 22 highway and I love to hit the gas. The biggest problem I had, was needing new tires at 28,000 miles. Was told that it helps keep the cost down to build them. This is a great SUV and will keep it for a long time.

  I would buy another one tomorrow - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By mtjhiggs - May 16 - 2:00 am

  This truck is exactly what I expected. The people who are complaining about it, obviously bought the wrong vehicle. This vehicle is the perfect mid-size SUV. Performance, ride, gas mileage, and quality are exactly as expected with this vehicle. The selling/ servicing dealer can make all of the difference.If buying one, definately go for the DiamondEdition interior. The comfort is well worth the extra money. Only problems have been, 4x4 switch went bad and fog light had water leaking into it.

  Sport machine! - 2001 GMC Jimmy
  By MJC333 - March 7 - 11:47 pm

  I purchased my Jimmy just under three months ago, and Ive loved every minute Ive spent driving it since. The handling is incredible, the V6 has impressive power, and the ride is extremely quiet and comfortable. I just couldnt ask for anything more...except a little better gas mileage. All in all...a true winner. The excellent 4wd, powerful v6, high ground clearance, and sporty suspension makes for a great driving experience offroad or on.
