The clean and timeless look is complemented by modern enhancements like the Tahoe 4-link rear suspension, which improves handling and ride quality, and 4-wheel disc brakes that ensure strong stopping power. Inside, the Jimmy features a grey interior and dash, also sourced from the donor vehicle, creating a cohesive and modernized cabin. The interior strikes a balance between retro charm and contemporary comfort, providing a functional space that feels fresh yet in keeping with the vehicle's heritage. The upgraded dashboard enhances usability while retaining the rugged feel that makes this GMC Jimmy iconic.
