2000 Chevrolet Tracker review from North America
"I really love my little MUV (mini utility vehicle)"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
I have had an intermittent leaky radiator hose this usually would surface in the winter.
The air conditioner went out at 40k miles.
Broken catalytic converter at 50k miles.
The convertible top started to come unraveled at 38k miles.
General comments?
All of the problems except the top coming apart where issues that came about due to the way I drive this little tank. I live back in the woods on top of a mountain and do a considerable amount of off road driving. I commute to work every day a round trip distance of 120 miles 2 of witch are dirt road. I use this little truck for every things like towing a small trailer loaded with building supplies, pulling logs up the side of the mountain and major snow driving. If you get a good set of tires and chains on this little beast you can go any where. Look folks lets get real it's an off road vehicle and designed with this purpose in mind. If you want sporty handling, quick acceleration and to entertain important members of state. This truck is not for you. This is a practical off road 4x4. The one suggestion I would have for some one interested in this truck would be to get a small trailer for making large hauls. Because it was well designed for of off road, to keep the wheel base short storage space was sacrificed. And because it is a 4x4 you can expect to pay more for basic maintenance on things like differentials, tires and transfer cases.
