When General Motors created the Geo brand to sell vehicles designed and – in some cases – built by Japanese partners, the first four models were introduced for the 1989 model year: Metro (Suzuki Cultus), Prizm (Toyota Sprinter), Spectrum (Isuzu Gemini) and Tracker (Suzuki Sidekick). Geo got the ax in 1997 with Metro, Prizm and Tracker become Chevrolets. Of these, the Tracker survived the longest and was sold on the American market until 2004. Here is an example of a very overdue Tracker recently found in an auto cemetery in North Carolina.
The first generation Trackers from 1989-1997 were based on the Suzuki Sidekick, while the Trackers from 1998-2004 were equipped with Suzuki Vitaras (not to be confused with the much grander Enormous Vitaras) as their siblings.
Production of these trucks for the South American market (as the Chevrolet Vitara) continued in Ecuador throughout 2014. Tracker also has a name passed on to some versions Chevrolet Trax around the world.
It is the base four-door hardtop model with rear-wheel drive and has an MSRP of $17,330. That’s approximately $29,789 in 2024.
You’ll find one in every car. You will see.
The engine is a 2.0-liter Suzuki inline-four cylinder with 127 horsepower.
A five-speed manual transmission was the base trim, but until the mid-21st century, very few American vehicle buyers wanted three pedals. This truck is equipped with an Aisin four-speed automatic transmission.
Looks like someone involved with this truck has graduated Secondary School named after Julius L. Chambers last year.
In the United States, the Tracker was replaced by the Saturn Vue.
If the Tracker can handle it (an unspecified Middle Eastern country), he can survive the jungle at home.
Always with you.
