My manual for my 1994 4wd 5 speed standard Tracker also suggests that the Tracker can be towed 4 down from the front. Manual hubs (unlocked), transfer case in neutral, run engine every two hours are also mentioned. I now tow my 1997 Tracker the same way, and it works very well. I maybe dont run the engine to circulate fluid every 2 hours but I havent noticed any ill effects from not doing so. I also dont have to pull the extra weight of the dolly, and dont have to make sure theres room for the dolly behind the 40' bus in a parking spot when the toad is unloaded. With curb weight under 3000 lbs, I know lots of people tow them without an auxiliary brake system, but I have one. I have even had moderate success backing with the 97 Tracker in tow, as long as I back slowly and am on concrete or asphalt. It is a 4 door (longer wheelbase)....maybe that makes a difference?
