Trax vs Tracker

[Snagglefoot]

I like look of of the current 2nd generation Chevy Trax and it got me thinking of the Chevy ( Geo) Tracker, one which I saw at the local Home Depot today. The Tracker had Japan roots through Suzuki but was also manufactured in Canada for a while. The Trax has Korea roots but is also manufactured in China. Here are a couple of screen shots.

Here is the Tracker I saw this morning.

Tracker was actually capable off road while Trax well a road vehicle.

Geo trackers have some sort of cult following them, so at least one of those two is cool.

I really liked the Tracker when they were common, but couldn’t afford one at the time. Haven’t seen one in quite a while.

The new Trax looks pretty sharp. I didn't care for the prior generation. A friend of mine had the Suzuki Grand Vitara growing up and it was a really great vehicle. There's probably not many Trackers left in good condition these days. At least not here where we use road salt.

We're on the right Track.

My stepdaughter has a Vitara, don’t think it’s the grand. Surprisingly good vehicle. I don’t think the suspension is any more sturdy than, say, a lifted sedan, but it has a lot of torque, has had fewer failures than any of our Hondas or Toyotas, doesn’t squeak or rattle, and doesn’t leak. It goes through a lot of oil. Drivetrain is .solid. It’s quite nimble and you could out-hoon its CG pretty quickly.

Id rather have a tracker, they look like more fun

Open top Vitara/Tracker would be a nice vehicle to have. I miss the time when the SUV-s were topless.

$24k crazy

I just picked up a 4wd tracker for $1400 to compliment the samurai as a 4dr auto land car.. easier to load fam in, wife/mom can drive it. You would assume everything would be interchangeable with a grand vitara since they rolled off the same assembly line in Canada, but I’ve found that’s not always the case at least mechanically.

This is about a 2001 Tracker. Note the rag top extension at the back.

 

[Snagglefoot]

I spoke with the owner. It’s an 89 Suzuki Sidekick.

Another Tracker with a rag top section, this time in the snow.

I’m a Suzuki fella so approve of this thread, but a tracker and a trax aren’t remotely similar. In Australia we have the Trax badged as a Holden Trax and the approach angle is woeful.

 

[Snagglefoot]

Yet another Tracker.

 

[Mazomopar]

Got it for $1300 8 yrs ago and just sold it for 500. So 800 plus parts equals alot of fun. Thing just wouldn't die.

 

[Snagglefoot]

Another Suzuki. This one with a winch and guard. It’s not a mall crawler.

I think Chev has done an outstanding interior/exterior styling job on the current Trax, particularly the color
palette. Still worried about the 3cyl turbo though.

The trick is to keep your foot out of it and only use the turbo when merging or passing. This works so much better in Europe rather than on the American interstates.
