Chevrolet Tracker


Small SUVs too often fall short of their utility quotient, as 4 wheel drive does not a utility vehicle make. But with the right chassis, engine, suspension and driveline combination, one can overlook this minor technicality and appreciate the fun and off highway capabilities these little utilities deliver. Consider the Chevrolet Tracker.

The tracker comes in two basic flavors, with just enough toppings to tease the economy minded. For the free spirited, “fun is first” buyer, the 2 door convertible model fits the bill. Available in base or the slightly more upscale ZR2 trim levels, the 2 door Tracker offers, 4 passengers seating with room for a few sandwiches. Stow the rear seat and cargo capacity triples to 33.7 cu.ft. plenty of space for a week-end wilderness escape for two. Optional ski or bike racks make for an even more versatile outing.

A 4 door hardtop version is also available in base or ZR2 trim, and comes standard when ordering the high end LT package, Leg, shoulder and hip room don’t change between the 4 and 2 door models, yet the company gives the 4 door a 5 passenger rating. Cargo volume, however, ramps up to 44.7 cu.ft. with the rear seats stowed.
