2003 Chevrolet Tracker consumer reviews

I had picked up one to replace a write off usually I'm a truck guy but with gas around $1.50/l I tried on of these again. It had 146000 km on it a few things I got to do the body was mint I haven't had it through the winter yet but I had an early 90s sidekick so not worried even living in Canada. I have the 4 cylinder so find it a little under powered but not terrible but the mileage is great for a little 4x4 actually going to sell my sxs and put it into this cause at least you can still drive it on the highway one thing I can say is not to stomp on it all the time drive it right maintenance it up and they'll last you skid plates winch a little lift and good mud and snow tires on her and she's ready to put along for the hunting trail

I've had 7 cars and I'm only 19 and I put my cars threw hell and back and this chevy tracker 2 door has never did me wrong. Im looking into buying another one beacuse there so unique and they burn rubber🤣

I couldn’t be happier with my 2003 Chevy Tracker LT. It does everything I need it to and more and the value is unmatched. Highly recommended!’

Purchased an 03 that had 202k miles for $300. Obviously I had to put some work and money into it. Had to replace the fuel lines, a tire rod end and a u joint for the 4x4, tires and some tlc (change the fluids,whipers and fix the driver side door speaker. The truck (94 ranger) finally got to the point that it wasn't worth putting more $ into. Paid $500 for it (250k miles) owned it for 7 years and got 325k miles) so I needed something cheap that has 4x4. If the tracker lasts me a year I'll be extremely happy. After that year I will be in a position to buy one either a Ford raptor or a Wrangler.

Carries two solo canoes and Christmas trees on top; bicycle & skis inside. Front seats recline for sleeping on long trips. Makes it to the trailheads on the 14ers in Colorado. Drives through deep snow and blasts through snowplow accumulation at the end of the driveway. Runs on Firestone Destination A/T 215/75R15 tires year round. Easy to do my own oil changes. Tires, brakes, oil & filters, wiper blades and a new battery (maybe two) are all that has been needed for the first 224k miles and 16 years. 25 mpg with regular gas on the highway (4-dr, 4 cyl, 4wd). Loves to vacation on dirt roads. Very low priority for thieves. Doesn't require a country club membership. Owes me nothing.

Picked mine up with 167k miles on the odometer five months ago, just rolled over 180k and I have not yet had a problem. 2.5L V6 is peppy enough and runs well, though it has developed a tiny lifter tick (SeaFoam took care of that). little maintenance issues have come up ? a wheel bearing going bad, brakes getting old but that?s to be expected. Transmission at this age seems to linger a bit long in the low gears but that clears up when the car warms up. Gas mileage is not great. I?m getting about 20 MPG highway and at $2.19 it takes about $40 to fill from empty. It?s built like a tank and despite this being its fifteenth winter in Ohio there is only marginal surface rust underneath and none on the body. Ride reminds me a lot of an S10, smooth and comfortable, and it handles nice and responsive. it?s a comfy, well-built SUV. Treat it well and it?ll treat you well.

Fantastic and very reliable car. I drove it for almost 2 years. Fancy car, too. People ask you what kind of car it is. Great buy.

First one was a 5 spd and got 29 MPG highway. 2nd was heavily modified with a Suzuki 2.7L 183 hp V6 with 4 spd automatic swapped in place of the 1.6L 95 hp 4 cylinder. Still had space in engine compartment. Body was lifted 2 inches. Had aftermarket hardtop. Before I sold it (lost job and needed cash, wish I hadn't) it had 31 x 10.50's on it which never rubbed. On one occasion, walked past a BMW with it - if Suzuki had sold one like this they would still be selling them. On several occasions towed 5,000 lbs. with it (had 4 wheel electric trailer brakes) and it managed to do surprisingly well although handling wasn't the greatest above 50 mph. Also had towed same load with prior 4 cylinder Tracker just around town but it took awhile to get up to any kind of speed. The V6 had no rust at all. I bought it with 19k on it although several years old at the time (it spent most of the time in previous owner's garage) and sold it with I think somewhere over 80k. Only changed oil and plugs and put gas in it. Car grows on you because it's not awesome at anything (excepting my V6) but is extremely utilitarian and reliable: it does a lot of things well.

Bought this car used i put almost 100.000 miles on it and never did any work except brakes, oil changes and tires! Very good vehicle highly recommended!!

I bought this vehicle brand new off the dealer lot back in 2003. I still have it. So far, the only major repair were in 2007 for $240 and 2010 for $210. It is now 2017 and I do need some major repairs. But this is to be expected for an everyday vehicle with 198,000 miles on it. Reliability in cargo space. Fit my bmx bikes, snow board, small snowblower (w/o dismantle), twin air mattress (with seats down), etc.
