I'll be testing out what looks to be a very nice 1994 Sunrunner tomorrow, but I'm just assuming it's pretty much the same thing as a Sidekick or a Tracker? All they all created equal for the purposes of off-road use?

I believe they're all the same thing.....but for what purpose they were created is an urban legend....

Some say they were designed during WW1 to be used as a light infantry vehicle....but old man Willy's won the bid, hence today's "Jeep".

Yes, they are all the same thing....just named different.

Was the Sunrunner released as a Pontiac? I have never seen one in person....

Ya, the one I just tried out is a 1994 Pontiac Sunrunner. I didn't realize they still had carb'd engines.

^^^^^ they dont........what your seeing is a thottle body.....unless somone has converted it i guess......

Was the Sunrunner released as a Pontiac? I have never seen one in person....

Yep.  I have only seen one in person.  I think the Sunrunner was a Canada thing.

asuna sunrunner and suzuki sidekicks had more options like power window power steering etc.. and i'm from canada and theres not alot down here i think they stopped making then in 1993 but not sure ..
