Pros: Fuel economy, ride
Cons: problems
The Bottom Line: Do not buy this- it will end up costing a lot of money and you might become stranded!
Basically, I like the GMC Jimmy for a good vehicle to drive, ride in, and carry things in. I also usually average about 22 miles per gallon. However, there are some problems people should know about this vehicle. For the first two years, it was great....

I bought this Jimmy in January. Which is one of the best months to purchase a 4WD vehicle where the snow flys. I love this thing. It handles so nicely, it is like driving on air.

Besides all its safety features, the truck itself gives a certain amount of height without being to high to obstruct your view. The gas mileage from this vehicle makes it a cost efficient .
It is roomy enough that I know he can travel with a few...
