2003 Chevrolet Tracker Base Sport Utility 2-door 2.0l on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:66634
Location:

Decatur, Illinois, United States

Decatur, Illinois, United States

For auction is a 2003 Chevy Tracker convertible 4x4 with 5-speed manual set up for towing behind an RV.  It has low miles (66,634) because my wife and I bought the Tracker new for her to drive 10 miles one way to work and also to have a small vehicle to occasionally tow behind a van camper on camping vacations.  She retired and we traded the van for a 5th wheel camper so now the Tracker is available to someone looking for a great ‘Toad’.  As you can see from the pictures, it is very clean inside and out.  The original two-piece soft convertible top was still new looking when we replaced it with a hard top.  The soft top is included with the car and it is still in great shape.  Four new tires were put on in December, 2011 and they have 8,666 miles on them.  The tires have been rotated on schedule, the oil and filter have been changed regularly and any needed maintenance has been taken care of.  It is a fun little car, never been smoked in and simply runs great and is easy to tow!   

The towing equipment that comes with the car includes: the base plate that is installed, tow bar with safety cables, Brake Buddy system for activating the brakes on the car when the RV brakes, and a light bar on the rear that includes running lights, brake lights and directional signals.  The Tracker is ready to be hitched to the back of your RV and you will be legal towing in all 50 states.  The cables for the Brake Buddy are stored under the dash and those for the light bar are stored under the hood.  If the successful bidder picks up the Tracker in an RV, I will demonstrate how to attach the components and prepare for towing.

The remote power locks are not working.  The car uses some oil between changes.  There was a minor fender bender on the driver side front.  All damaged parts were either repaired or replaced at the Chevrolet Body Shop.

Some of the features that are on the car include: air conditioning, cruise, tilt, power rack & pinion steering, power windows & mirrors, variable intermittent wipers, stereo radio with single CD, ‘Auto-On’ daytime running lamps, and full size lockable spare.  We had both aftermarket rust proofing and undercoating installed shortly after taking delivery.

Silverado HD, Touareg V10 TDI face off in diesel tug-of-war

Sun, 30 Dec 2012

A couple weeks ago, we watched a Chevrolet Silverado get dominated by a Dodge Ram Heavy Duty in a fullsize pickup tug-of-war, but in that truck's defense, Chevy's Vortec gas engine was no match for the torquey Cummins turbo diesel. For our next round of vehicular tug-of-war, a Duramax-powered Silverado HD takes on Volkswagen Touareg V10 TDI.
Now, on paper, putting the Duramax V8's 365 horsepower and 660 pound-feet of torque up against the V10's 310 hp and 553 lb-ft looks like an easy win for the Bowtie, but unfortunately, this battle has a similar result as the Dodge versus Chevy video, with the Silverado smoking its tires trying to move forward as it gets pulled backwards. Put another way: YouTube 2, Chevy Silverado 0.
It just goes to show, though, that big tires, bolt-on fender flares and goofy smoke stacks don't improve your towing abilities. Besides, what did the Silverado driver expect when the Touareg V10 TDI has towed a Boeing 747 in the past?

Chevy confirms Corvette Stingray Convertible for Geneva

Thu, 07 Feb 2013

Want proof that General Motors has increased global ambitions for its 2014 Chevrolet Corvette Stingray? It's staging the world premiere of the model's convertible variant at the Geneva Motor Show early next month.
As previously rumored, the droptop rendered above will debut at the Swiss show, making its first appearance anywhere on March 5. According to Susan Docherty, president and managing director of Chevrolet, the location makes sense because Corvette "...is an icon that has long been recognized and admired even in countries where it's never officially been offered."
While neither Chevrolet nor the Corvette has a major sales presence in Switzerland, the Bowtie's European headquarters is located in Zurich (about three hours to the northeast of Geneva) and GM has made it clear that it wants to build the Chevrolet brand up across Europe.

Feds open investigation into Chevy Express, Ford Freestar rust issues

Wed, 28 Dec 2011

'Tis the season... for road salt. And with that, comes rust. And what does rust bring? Well, for Ford and General Motors, a National Highway Traffic Safety Administration investigation. According to The Detroit News, NHTSA is looking into potential recalls issues with Chevrolet Express vans and Ford Freestar minivans.
The feds have received five complaints that rust has caused leaking fuel filler pipes on 2003 Express vans. Separately, seven complaints have been filed over excessive rust in the rear wheel wells of 2004 Ford Freestar and Mercury Monterey minivans. The Freestar and Monterey went out of production in 2007. Neither issue has resulted in any crashes or injuries, according to the report.
