ok, i have been readin about towing a tracker and such but does anybody use their trackers/kicks to tow atvs or anything? how do you have your hitch hooked up? like is it on the bumper?

I just use it to tow my butt around    The 2 door is rated at 1000 lbs.  That would be enough for a trailer and ATV, but I wonder if the motor puts out enough power to handle the extra weight.  I would have no qualms about towing with the V-6 in the grand.

I've towed a 6x10 trailer and a 4wheeler.Sometimes I tow a 6x16 trailer with misc. stuff (nothing big)for my uncles landscaping business .I've only got a class I hitch.It does OK ,gets a little squirrly if you go too fast though... :-/

do you have it hooked to your bumper?

my sidekick had a hidden hitch type set up, not sure if it was that brand though.  it had a 1inch opening and had been used to tow a jetski before i bought it
i dont own it anymore so i cant give you much more info

I've had a 00 Tracker, 2dr, 4wd, a.6l, 5-sp. I used a 3500# rated hitch frame which bolted to the frame. It's a 2" setup. I've used it to tow a 4x6 3500# utility trailer. I never loaded the trailer that heavy, but it's been loaded near 2000#'s. Not a problem. I've also towed a 16' Scamp camper from Columbia, SC to KC. The camper was just your basic camper with no propane tank, battery, empty water tank and I didn't use any trailer brake setup. No problem towing that. Then when camper was loaded, it was a lot slower in speed and took longer to brake. Now that same hitch frame is on my XL-7. I've sold off the Tracker and use the XL7. As a matter of fact, I just got back from towing a heavy mod'd Sami (~3000#'s) from OH back to KC on a tow dolly. Pics are in the Sami-HT webshots album. The Boggers, 2 are in the back of the X, other 2 in the back of the Sami.

has anyone had a bumper that had a ball on it and used it to tow?>

No,Its a Reese style hitch

i towed my rally escort across the yard and behind the garage while it was in park (no battery, didnt feel like getting one out of the garage to get it into neutral).

but that's more of pulling not towing


I have, however, been thinking about welding a ball onto the cross thinger underneath the bumper to pull my 12ft boat to the lake...

I just ordred a hitch from here  http://www.drawtite-hitches.com/index.htm  They only make class 1 hitches for Sidekicks.  I'm gonna use it to get my MX bike to the track.  But, I have a 2.0L V6 not a 1.6L 4.

I tow my  14 ft fiberglass powerboat.  It looks like it trying to mate with my zuki.  I wouldn't take it on a highway, but I can travel at top speed with it.  I got the stock sammy trailer bar and had a shop bracket on a 2" univ. receiver.  The guy told me not to tow any big trailers with it.  

ive seen a 4cylinder buick skylark towing a 2 horse trailer, with horses......... so why not.....lol

yah, i am going to be building a bumpr and i think i want to have the ball fight on it and i was wondering how strong the bumper brackets are? or if i would have to modify them?

"Pics are in the Sami-HT webshots album. The Boggers, 2 are in the back of the X, other 2 in the back of the Sami. "   NOW THATS ONE LOUD PAINT JOB  

I bought a new hitch rated at 3500# off E-Bay for $20.00 and he's still got some left:
