	[[Geo Tracker\|Tracker]] was a light [[SUV]], based on the [[Suzuki Sidekick]], which itself was a replacement for the highly criticized [[Suzuki Samurai]]. The Tracker was a part of the original Geo lineup from 1989, and was the longest running model. It was renamed the Chevrolet Tracker in 1998, and redesigned in 1999. Starting in 1999, the Sidekick became the Vitara. Tracker was available in either a convertible or hardtop configuration, with either two or four seats. The buyer had the option of either a 2x2 drive setup, or optional 4-wheel drive. Geo touted Tracker as a versitile vehicle, being either an around town runabout, or a rugged off road vehicle. However, Tracker's high center of gravity coupled with its tall profile made it particularly prone to rollover, especially in earlier years.
