Expert Reply:

Yes, Roadmaster base plates # 118-3 will fit your 1992 Geo Tracker 2-door 4x4. For a compatible tow bar I recommend the Falcon 2 # RM-520. I have linked a video review of this tow bar for you. For safety cables I recommend # RM-643. The coiled design helps keep the cables off of the ground.

For lighting you can use a simple kit such as # RM-2120. this kit bypasses the Tracker wiring so you won't have to splice into the tail light wiring.

You may also need a high/low adapter to keep the tow bar level. I have linked a help article showing how to measure and a link to the high/low adapters we carry.

And finally, most states now require supplemental braking on the vehicle being flat towed. One of the preferred systems for our installers and what I recommend is the SMI Stay-IN-Play DUO proportional system, # SM99251. It will apply the vehicle brakes in proportion to how much the tow vehicle is braking. This is the safest way to stop and it reduces wear and tear on both vehicles.

Be sure to consult your vehicle owners manual for specific information on flat towing the vehicle. I have also included some helpful links to our series of help articles on flat towing for you.
