Yes, you can flat tow an automatic transmission Geo Tracker from the 1993 to 1997 model range. However, you must take some precautions to prevent damaging the drivetrain.

1. Transfer Case in Neutral: Since this model does not have an "N" on the transmission range selector, you will have to leave the transfer case in the neutral position (4Hi or 4Lo).

2. Rear Wheels Off the Ground: The easiest way to flat tow an automatic Geo Tracker is to have all four wheels off the ground (using a trailer, not dollies). This will eliminate any spinning of rotating components that could damage your transmission.

3. Drive Shaft Removed: If leaving all wheels off the ground is not an option, You can remove the driveshaft that goes from the transmission to the rear axle differential carrier before towing the vehicle.

Towing Speed

It's essential to tow the Geo Tracker at an appropriate speed. Do not exceed the recommended towing speed for your vehicle, which is typically 55 miles per hour.

Following these precautions will help ensure that your Geo Tracker's drivetrain remains undamaged during flat-towing.
