The original GMC Jimmy truck went out of production more than three decades ago, but Flat Out Autos has been building replicas of it based on the 2022 Sierra AT4 chassis. One of them will be up for grabs at Mecum next month.
The details are admittedly scarce. The wheelbase gets shortened to increase the semblance and the cargo bed receives an extra seat row, leaving owners with a practical and off-road-capable four-seater that lacks just a bit in the cargo hauling department.
The exterior is grey and looks good against 22-inch Rotiform wheels shod in Nitto Ridge Grappler tires. The suspension benefits from custom shocks and upper control arms, and the exhaust system is new, too.
Inside, there are heated/ventilated front seats, and that’s about it. The listing doesn’t say much more. The engine is standard Sierra fare – a 5.3-liter V8 rated at 360 PS (355 hp / 265 kW) and 520 Nm (383 lb-ft) of torque. Have a look at the short video for another Kimmy replica from the same tuner.
