The GMC S-15 Jimmy was introduced in 1983 alongside the similar Chevrolet S10 Blazer.It was made to go along with the GMC S-15 pickup that was introduced in 1982 with the Chevrolet S-10 pickup.

First Generation (1983–1994)[]

The S-15 Jimmy was introduced in 1983 alongside with theChevrolet S10 Blazer. When it was introduced it was only offered with 2-doors, in 1991 the 4-door model was introduced but 2-door models were still available.

The S-15 Jimmy was offered with either a 4-speed automatic transmission or a 5-speed manual transmission.

Base power was provided by GM's 2.0 L OHV four-cylinder engine, producing a meager 83 hp (62 kW). A 2.8 L, 110 hp (82 kW) V6 was offered as an option.The 1.9 , 2.0 and 2.2 liter diesel were dropped after 1985, replaced by the larger 2.5 liter engine. The V6 was refitted with a throttle-body fuel injection system for 1986 in order to improve performance and fuel economy.The Jimmy received a new 4.3 L V6 option in 1988, power output was increased to 160 hp (120 kW) in 1989.

In March 1990, 4-door versions of the Jimmy were introduced; the 4-door had a 6.5in longer wheelbase 2-doors had a 100.5 in wheelbase. And a one-piece front grille (1990 2-door Jimmys had the 3-piece grille). This came just months ahead of the introduction of the Ford Explorer.
