2002 Chevrolet Tracker
For 2002 the Chevrolet
Tracker offers three great models capable of handling
just about any task, on-road or off. The base Tracker,
along with the rugged ZR2 and LT, give Tracker a lineup
of models which offers Chevy Truck toughness and durability.
New features for 2002
include: AM/FM/CD radio as standard equipment; LT cloth
on ZR2 seats; new ZR2 alloy wheels; new LT and optional
base alloy wheel; and four new exterior colors –
Medium Green Pearl Metallic, Medium Red Metallic, Light
Bronzemist Metallic and Indigo Blue Metallic. Other
additions such as halo "see through" headrests
(four positions), front seat armrests, standard roof
rack on four-door models and driver’s side adjustable
lumbar support make a great small utility even better.
The power story
Powering both the LT
and ZR2 is the 2.5-liter DOHC 24-valve V6 engine that
generates 155 peak horsepower, while offering good fuel
efficiency. Standard on the base Tracker and available
on the ZR2 two-door is the lively 127-horsepower, 2.0-liter
16-valve DOHC four-cylinder engine. Both engines give
Tracker the essential power desired by small sport utility
buyers.
The durability story
Combining that power
with the ladder-based frame on which Tracker is built
gives this Chevy Truck excellent on-road manners and
the ability to go just about anywhere off road. Its
frame and high ground clearance give Tracker many off-road
advantages over its car-based competition. Tracker also
has achieved impressive crash test ratings.
Tracker’s confident
road manners are the result of precise power rack-and-pinion
steering. Its highly responsive rear suspension features
a five-link design to provide exceptional road feel
and a greater tread width for sure-footed control and
cornering.
"This is an authentic
sport utility that can handle the roughest terrain,"
said Margaret Brooks, Tracker brand manager. "Combining
the full-ladder frame with Tracker’s 4x4 shift-on-the-fly,
four-wheel-drive system give Tracker the ability to
handle the unexpected, on or off the road. Tracker is
a tough, durable, dependable Chevy Truck."
Impressive styling
On the outside, the Tracker’s
sculpted flanks and contoured edges are bold and distinctive.
The ZR2 and LT appearance packages give Tracker tough-looking
and upscale looks, respectively. Other available features
which enhance Tracker’s appearance include tubular
side steps, brush guard and fog lamps, ski and bike
racks, and for convertible models, a removable hardtop.
Interior versatility
The Tracker’s spacious
interior allows plenty of room for friends – and
their gear can be stowed in the instrument panel, the
seat backs, door pockets and center console. The rear
compartment of the two-door model comfortably accommodates
full-size adults and the rear seats can be folded and
stowed away for even more room. An optional rear lockable-storage
compartment can hold valuables, or can be removed for
maximum cargo space.
Tracker value story
Available in two-door
convertible or four-door hardtop versions, and in two-
or four-wheel-drive configurations, the Tracker is a
whole lot of truck for not a lot of money.
Chevrolet Tracker gives
consumers utility, performance, capabilities, value
and style, all at a reasonable price.
"Tracker gives its
owners the ability to handle just about any task,"
Brooks said. "It is a durable truck that can handle
an active lifestyle."
