The 1999 GMC Jimmy was a mid-size SUV that offered a blend of rugged capability and comfortable interior appointments. Built on General Motors' GMT370 platform, it shared its underpinnings with its sibling, the Chevrolet Blazer. The Jimmy, however, was distinguished by its distinctive, boxy styling that echoed the design language of the full-size GMC Yukon. A prominent grille with a horizontal chrome bar adorned the front, flanked by sleek, rectangular headlights and a rugged, squared-off bumper. The Jimmy's interior boasted an upscale feel for the time, with comfortable cloth or leather upholstery, a dashboard that prioritized functionality, and a decent amount of cargo space behind the rear seats.

Under the hood, the 1999 Jimmy offered a choice of engines. The standard offering was a 4.3-liter Vortec V6 engine, known for its reliability and smooth operation. For those seeking more power, a 5.7-liter Vortec V8 engine was available, providing a substantial bump in performance. Both engines could be paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission, directing power to the rear wheels or, optionally, to all four wheels. The Jimmy's rugged nature was further enhanced by its independent front suspension and a solid rear axle, enabling it to handle rough terrain with ease, while its high ground clearance provided ample off-road capability. Despite its robust capabilities, the Jimmy was also known for its relatively comfortable ride and its decent fuel economy, making it a versatile vehicle that could handle both daily commutes and weekend adventures.
