ADVENTUROUS 2004 CHEVROLET TRACKER COMBINES A SMALL SUV WITH V-6 POWER

For 2004 the Chevrolet Tracker offers three great small SUV choices that are big on capability and powered by a dependable V-6 engine. The base Tracker, along with the rugged ZR2 and LT, give Tracker a lineup of four-door models that offer Chevy Truck toughness and durability. It is a durable truck that can handle an active lifestyle.

"Tracker continues to give its owners the ability to handle just about any task, from a morning commute to an off-road adventure," said Margaret Brooks, Tracker marketing director. "And make no mistake, this is an authentic sport utility that can handle the roughest terrain."

Rugged, both on and off-road
Like all Chevy trucks, Tracker starts with a solid foundation. The steel ladder-type frame on which Tracker is built gives this Chevy Truck excellent on-road performance and the ability to go just about anywhere. Its frame and high ground clearance give Tracker many off-road advantages over many competitors that feature a unibody construction more common in passenger cars. Tracker also has achieved impressive crash test ratings.

"Combining the full-ladder frame with Tracker's 4x4 shift-on-the-fly, four-wheel-drive system gives Tracker the ability to handle the unexpected, on or off the road," Brooks said. "Tracker is a tough, durable, dependable Chevy Truck."

Precise power rack-and-pinion steering provide Tracker's confident road manners. 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. And an antiflex bar that arches across the Tracker engine compartment helps strengthen its body structure.

Value and style
Tracker gives consumers utility, performance, capability, value and style, all at a reasonable price. Available in two- or four-wheel-drive configurations, the Chevrolet Tracker is a whole lot of truck.

Tracker provides the essential power desired by small sport-utility buyers. All models come standard with a powerful 2.5L DOHC 24-valve V-6 engine that generates 165 peak horsepower (123 kw) and 162 lb.-ft. (220 Nm) of torque, while offering good fuel efficiency.

The base Tracker also includes standard AM/FM/CD radio, plus air conditioning, power rack-and-pinion steering, a folding rear seat and a shift-on-the-fly transfer case on 4WD models.

Tracker LT models add power locks and doors and more.

The Tracker ZR2 also comes standard with a V-6 engine, 8 inches (203 mm) of ground clearance, skid plates and a 4x4 transfer case that offers shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive at speeds up to 60 mph.

Impressive, inside and out
Inside, Tracker is spacious, with plenty of room for friends - and their gear. The rear seats comfortably accommodate full-size adults. And the rear seats can be folded and stowed for even more room - up to 44.7 cubic feet (1,266L) of storage space on four-door models. Getting to that gear is easy with a hydraulic-assist, swing-out tailgate that opens to the side. There is added storage in seat back compartments, door pockets and center console.

On the outside, Tracker has bold and distinctive sculpted flanks and contoured edges. The ZR2 appearance package gives Tracker a tough-looking attitude, while the LT appearance package offers an upscale look. Other available features include tubular side steps, brush guard and fog lamps, ski and bike racks.
