1985 GMC Jimmy Reviews, Pricing & Specs
What owners say
"Overall, owners of the 1985 GMC Jimmy have a strong sense of nostalgia for this vehicle, often recalling fond memories from their youth. They particularly loved its durability and performance, especially the high-powered engine. However, many drivers noted the poor fuel economy and the need for frequent repairs as significant downsides."
Terrible mileage but a great vehicle to be in if your in an accident...she also crawls like you wouldnt believe. pretty cheap to repair compared to a beamer but requires a ton more repairs then a newer vehicle would.
December 7, 2009I seriously miss this truck, and if it weren't for the idiot that hit me back around 2000 bending the frame we'd probably still have the ol' warhorse. This truck went with my dad and I on damn near every Boy Scout outing I went on, and was my first vehicle. I loved revving the motor and gagging my buddies with the thick black diesel smoke. The vehicle lasted through 250000 miles, one fire-destroyed transmission (we quite literally got "Stuck in Lodi"), a transmission with a blown second gear, a destroyed rear gears, and most impressive of all, survived having me for an owner. It was my first ride, and I still miss it.
January 2, 2008Has a high performance 350 engine. Lifted. Handles very well.

February 25, 2008Economical...engine was the same as in a 85 Camero
April 10, 2008I paid $450 bucks for this thing. It was a good truck for the price. It had been ragged out. Had ropes for door handles and it sounded like crap. But it started right up and drove straight down the road.
