THOR #12991
Suzuki Sidekick

I have an outside chance to pick up a 19-something sidekick 4X4. Body is OK, interior - not so good but passable. I haven't driven it as yet so don't have much more info.


Anyone have any experience with one of these as a toad?


Any info, good or not so good, appreciated.


Jim

I've seen lots of them as toads. Put the transfer case in neutral and you should be good to go.

Thanks

Thanks to both replys. This is a manual tranny w/4X4. Setup for towing sounds very like

my old Jeep Wrangler toad stuff.

towed a 1997 sidekick for years with no problem. florida to alaska and back. transfer case in neutral, key on to unlock steering. it racks up miles on the odometer. i had about 220k when we gave it up.

Is it already set-up for flat towing?

If not you might want to ask yourself if you want to invest a couple thousand into setting up something that old.
