roamsteaders Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 (edited) Greetings! We're looking for a 2-door 4x4 Geo Tracker or Suzuki Sidekick for use as a toad. We're hoping to find one that meets the following criteria, but we may be open to others: 2 door 1st generation (1989–1998) White in color No rust Manual transmission Includes tow bar and base plate If you have one (or know of one) for sale, please let us know!

BlueLghtning Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 Just as an FYI, I have a friend that tows a 2wd 1st gen geo tracker (manual transmission) 4 down with no issues. You see mixed reviews on this, but it seems everyone that does it has no issues. Usually you can find 2wd tracker/sidekicks much cheaper than their 4wd counterparts if not having 4wd wasn't a big deal to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roamsteaders Posted May 3, 2018 Author Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 @BlueLghtningThank you for the tip! I'm hoping to do some offroading with the vehicle, so I would like to find a 4x4 if possible. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BTW, we have seen a ton of these in the South West like AZ over the winter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted May 3, 2018 Report Share Posted May 3, 2018 I'll ask my neighbor if he's interested in selling his. It sits 99% of the time. He has a Suzuki X-90, 4x4, 40k+- miles, decent shape. If you're interested of course. Located in Bismarck ND. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As great (and rare) as the X-90s are, we're hoping to find something with a <bit> more space so we can take our dog with us on our adventures. Thank you for the offer though!

They were never very popular for sure. I'm not sure if they were quite as capable as a tracker/sidekick, but they could still be fun. Do you know if it's a 5spd? I'd be curious to see what he wants for it. It's just my wife and I so we could make it work. I'll do some more looking up on them. Can you find out if it was real 4x4 with a transfer case with 4wd low / 4wd high / and N? For some reason I didn't think they were, but I don't think I've ever even drove one. Edit: The X-90 does a have a real transfer case. It is more car like though with a bit longer body, lower ground clearance and from the specs, I'm not sure at 6'4" how well I would fit in it. Still interested in hearing about it. Edited May 4, 2018 by BlueLghtning Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueLghtning Posted May 4, 2018 Report Share Posted May 4, 2018 Haha, amazingly they actually make a base plate for the X-90 to flat tow it. Color me surprised. - https://www.etrailer.com/towbar-1996_Suzuki_X-90.htm Sorry Roamsteders, I'm hijacking your thread. Well, Jim did start it.

Thank you for the offer though! Sounds like you want a Suzuki XL-7. Same as the 4 door Sidekick but stretched 7" for more cargo room.
