1992 GMC S-15 Jimmy - 92 GMC Jimmy 4x4
I absolutely love this SUV. Not only does it get exceptionally good gas mileage, it's a general blast to drive. The Jimmy has gotten me to work in inclement weather and kept me high and dry, as well as warm or cool depending on season. The truck has well over one hundred thousand miles on the motor and drivetrain and still runs like a champ, no rattles, clanks, ticks or hesitation. The push button four wheel drive still works like it was brand new, and has pulled me through the mud and the muck on several job sites as well as through bumper deep snow on my way to the store for much needed groceries.
Story
My line of work (landscaping/snow removal) depends heavily on the weather. This truck has seen me through bumper deep snow on multiple occasions. I was able to safely drive to and from work while other vehicles were off the road due to adverse driving conditions, I never once lost traction and was secure in the knowledge that if I had slid off the road, I knew the four wheel drive in this vehi...

Pros
Power Everything
Push Button 4 wheel drive, no getting out in the mud muck snow or rain for instant traction when I need it.
Exceptional gas mileage for being a full size SUV
cloth interior means no hot pleather seats to burn your legs on in the summer
Ice Cold AC/Gates of Hades heat on demand
Cons
No factory lift kit
tires were mismatched and shot when purchased
tires are expensive for this vehicle
1999 GMC Sierra C3 - It's a Hoss
This GMC Sierra is a work horse. It is used to pull a 35' 5th wheel camper and does a marvelous job doing so. It has a crew cab with plenty of room for at least 4 adult passengers. The bed is 8 feet long and can handle any payload you may wish to haul. The motor is a 454 and therefore has all the gumption you may need for heavy loads or hauling.
Story
This truck was used to pull another 5th wheel camper for a friend. The location they wanted to park the camper was in the middle of the woods down a dirt road. This truck pulled and parked the camper without any problems whatsoever and it was definitely put to the test that day.
Pros
Plenty of space in the cab and in the bed of the truck. Rides smooth and comfortably. Motor is strong and reliable.
Cons
My number one concern with this truck is the gas mileage. It only gets about 12 miles a gallon. It is not a good choice as a primary vehicle.
1997 GMC C/K 1500 Series - I love this truck!
This is one of the best trucks I have ever had. It is tough and sturdy. It does not go as fast as I would like, but it still works pretty well. It runs okay, but it does not run as smoothly as I would like. The shocks on the truck are terrible. I have had it for many years, and it is a pretty good truck to me
Story
I have taken this truck on many trips, and one of the best parts about using this truck on a trip is that you can fit everything in the back, along with a barbecue pit. It is very convenient and easy to use. I went to the Lake, and it took a long time to get there, but when we did get there, it was really easy to take everything out of the back and to get ready to set up.
Pros
It is very sturdy, and it runs pretty well. It is a tough truck, and it saves a lot of money on gas. I also like that the truck can basically go onto other terrains. It is pretty convenient since it does not break down easily. It saves gas, and the gas lasts a very decent amount of time. There is a lot of space in the back of the truck, and so we can pack a lot of stuff back there. It is really easy to take on a trip to the woods. I can even fit a barbecue pit back there.
Cons
The shocks on the truck are terrible. It also does not go as fast as I would like it to. I would want it to go a little faster than it goes right now. I bought it when it was used, and when I first got it, the radio on the inside was stolen. There was also a chip on the window. Years later, the window fell into the frame of the door.
