Used 2004 Chevrolet Tracker
Buying Guide for the Chevrolet Tracker:
Chevrolet’s smallest sport utility vehicle is no longer offered
as a two-door model. Instead, only four-door versions will
be available for 2004, giving the compact SUV a bit more of
a presence on the road.
Though small, the Tracker is every bit a Chevy—that is, it
is known for its toughness and durability. Like larger models,
the Tracker uses a steel ladder-type frame. This frame, in
addition to a high ground clearance, gives the Tracker many
off-road advantages over models with a unibody construction.
One of the main selling points of the Chevrolet Tracker is
its package, which includes a relatively nice price tag. Combining
ruggedness with on-road performance, plus safety and comfort
features, the Tracker can keep a wide variety of people satisfied
with its offerings.
Under the Hood
Like all sport utility vehicles, the Tracker would not be
complete without a choice of two-wheel drive and four-wheel
drive configurations. This is particularly noteworthy with
the ZR2 model, which uses a 4x4 transfer case that offers
shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive at speeds of up to 60 mph.
The engine with all three trim levels is a 2.5-liter V6 that
puts out 165 horsepower at 6500 rpm and 162 lb-ft of torque
at 4000 rpm.
The Tracker uses power rack-and-pinion steering and a responsive
rear suspension featuring a five-link design to provide exceptional
road feel and a greater tread width for sure-footed control
and cornering. The Tracker also features an antiflex bar over
the engine compartment to strengthen its body structure.
Standard Features, Options Packages and Style
Each trim level gives the Tracker a distinctive look. Base
models have the classic Tracker design—simple and clean. The
ZR2 appearance package provides Tracker with a tough-looking
attitude, while the LT appearance package radiates a more
refined feel.
And though it may be on the small side, the Tracker makes
good use of its size. The rear seats comfortably accommodate
full-size adults. They can be folded and stowed for up to
44.7 cubic feet (1,266L) of storage space.
The functional equipment doesn’t end there. A hydraulic-assist,
swing-out tailgate that opens to the side lets you easily
access the storage area. If you still need more space, there
are added storage areas in the seat back compartments, door
pockets and center console.
