Greenlight 1:64 1987 GMC Jimmy Sierra Lifted, Blue/White

For the 1987 model year, GM renamed the C/K series as the R/V series. Largely intended to distinguish the C/K series from its GMT 400 successor (which would be produced alongside it), "R" was used for two-wheel drive and "V" for four-wheel drive; the nomenclature change was also applied to the vehicle identification number (VIN). The 1987 R/V models continued production at Janesville, St. Louis, and Flint; the new 1988 GMT400 trucks entered production December 8, 1986 at Pontiac East, Oshawa, and the new Fort Wayne plant.

After an 18-year production run, 1991 marked the final year for the "Rounded Line" truck series. After trailing the rest of the C/K series for nearly five years, one-ton crew cab pickups, the Suburban SUVs, and the K5 Blazer/V-Jimmy all adopted the GMT400 architecture. To end nameplate confusion with its compact SUVs, GMC renamed the Jimmy as the GMC Yukon for 1992, with the Chevrolet K5 Blazer becoming the Chevrolet Tahoe for 1995.
