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.
