Does anyone have information on a Geo Tracker stick shift as to whether it is towable 4 down?

I had a 98 a few years ago. Yes, they are as long as they're 4WD. Transfer case in N and standard transmission in 2. Ignition key turned to acc. to unlock steering then you can remove the key if you want. Read the owner's manual before buying any car to tow.
I found the Tracker very easy to tow but very uncomfortable to drive or ride in for more than an hour or so without loosening your teeth and wearing ear plugs. It's fun at first with the "baby Jeep" image but it gets old real quick. I found replacement parts to be extremely expensive...
ex: Throttle position sensor on a Corvette: $50.00. Same part on a GEO Tracker: $400.00. JMHO

We had a 92 Tracker with stick shift. It is towable 4 down. The owner's manual specified transmission in 2nd gear, transfer case in neutral, and stop every 200 miles to run the engine for a couple of minutes to circulate the transmission fluid. Then it was good for another 200 miles. Kinda sounds like a pain but it wasn't because we had potty stops, get a drink stop, or just take a break stop. Towed it thousands of miles without incident.

Yep, lots of folks whine about starting it every 200 miles. that is at least 3 1/2 -4 hours for me and I want a stop then anyhow. In fact my wife whines when I go out and start it every 100 miles or less.  So I try to stop and do it really often.
