Summary:
I have had this vehicle for 2.5 years and have had no problems with it. It gets average mileage and while it is no Honda or Toyota it has served me well. It is a discontinued model so I got it for substantially less than retail.

Strengths:
Price, 4 by 4 high and low range.

Weaknesses:
Average gas mileage, slightly underpowered and very little storage space hindered by the inside storage of the spare tire.

2005 GMC Jimmy SLT

Summary:
I have had my Jimmy just over 2 years and have amassed 115K km. I haven't had any serious problems as of yet. I had a small leak in the oil coolant line and I think that I may need to replace the ball joints. I do regular maintenance on the truck and am happy so far.

Strengths:
The vehicle looks good, seats are ok to sit in for long trips. I get decent fuel mileage and its easy on the wallet.

Weaknesses:
I think the engine is under powered for the size of the vehicle. I get tossed around on the highway when it is windy outside. The vehicle can be noisy on the highway. The fuel tank is small (60L) so you have to fill up frequently. Its a smaller vehicle and I have had problems fitting normal things into the back of the truck.
