UNWANTED
Imitation Trackers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s true. Due to the popularity and widespread demand for Tracker Trucks, some less – than – ethical manufacturers are producing IMITATION Tracker Trucks. A number of these IMITATIONS may even have our name of the base plate. Here at Tracker, we are worried that you will be fooled. We do not want you to buy these PHONY trucks expecting our strength and quality-only to discover that you are not riding Tracker Trucks and are not covered by the Tracker guarantee.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There have been COUNTERFEITERS for a long time, and it has become necessary to learn the distinguishing factors between the real and the copy. Think of how carefully you would inspect a hundred dollar bill, or a diamond if it came from a questionable source. That is what we are asking you to do with Tracker Trucks: if you question the source, INSPECT CLOSELY. Of course, you should always look for a reputable authorized Tracker Trucks dealer and keep relying on established distributors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
