The Cimarron was refined for 1988 by the addition of a speed-density
fuel control system, cross-groove drive axles with the standard five-speed
transmission, and larger standard all-season and optional high-performance
tires. Additional changes for 1988 included
a new variable-displacement air conditioning compressor
new standard body-color lower grooved molding
improved corrosion protection
three new exterior and interior colors.
Another 1987 option made standard for 1988 in addition to the 14 in. alloy
wheels and lower body side molding was a heavy-duty battery. Use of the
14 in. alloy wheels in place of the 13 in. wheels of 1987 also resulted
in a retuning of the rear shock absorber valving.
For 1988 the Cimarron's MFI V-6 was equipped with a speed-density fuel
control system. A new V-5 variable displacement air conditioning compressor
was also adopted. The use of double-side galvanized steel was expanded
to include the doors in 1988.
