Camping in a K5 or Jimmy

[88GMCBurb]

Used to have an 88 GMC Suburban, could comfortably sleep in the back. Thinking about picking up a K5 or Jimmy. Will the rear seat fold down or be removed to sleep in the back of a K5/Jimmy and if so how much room? Would need at least six feet length.

 

Anybody do this?

 

Thanks

What year of K5? How tall are you?

Most k5 seats don't fold down flat - they fold like an accordion and push back towards the backs of the passenger seats. If you're 5 feet tall or around there, then you'll probably sleep fine.

Jimmy - if its post 1990, then the back seat should fold down flat and flush with the floor. Probably have about 7 feet from tailgate to front passenger seats. Can sleep two, but not comfortable. I'm not a fan of Jimmys and S10s, though. I've had a couple. not much room to carry things on camping/fishing trips, the blind spots are pretty bad on them, and mid-90s up with the vortec are tight and hard to do even simple things on.

pre 90 the seat flips forward. definitely put the tail gate down. I propped pillows on thet tosse a mattress over it and called it gd. . The seat does remove easily though

K5 or Jimmy. The K5 was both the K5 Blazer and K5 Jimmy. I have an 89 K5 Jimmy. The K5 means it's full size. Those S10 midsize jobbers were S10 Blazers or GMC (Sonoma) Jimmys.
