Chevrolet Tracker prices begin at $15,865 for the two-wheel-drive, two-door convertible. Air conditioning is standard, as is a 127-horsepower 2.0-liter inline four with four valves per cylinder. The price of admission also includes a fuel-tank skid plate and front and rear tow hooks. For 2002, Chevrolet has added front-seat arm rests, an adjustable lumbar support for the driver, and a CD player.
Four-wheel-drive convertibles are offered in either base ($16,965) or sporty ZR2 ($18,835) trim. The same 2.0-liter engine provides the power, but ZR2s add fender flares over wider tires on alloy wheels, skid plates for the oil pan and transfer case, cruise control, power locks with remote entry, power mirrors, cloth seating surfaces and other conveniences.
Chevrolet also sells a four-door Tracker wagon, which many people will find more practical than the convertible. Four-door models also come in either two- or four-wheel drive, with the 2.0-liter four-cylinder as the base engine. The four-wheel-drive ZR2 package is available, but four-door ZR2s are powered by a 2.5-liter dohc V6. A four-speed automatic transmission, optional with the four-cylinder engine, is standard with the V6. For 2002, all four-door Trackers come standard with a roof rack.
Buyers who wish to make a more formal styling statement may choose the LT, which also comes with two or four-wheel-drive, but only on the four-door body. LT models pack all the same functional features as the ZR2 (including the V6 and automatic transmission), but trade the ZR2's sporty fender flares and charcoal grille trim for classy contrasting bodyside cladding and a chrome grille surround. Lower-profile tires, color-keyed mirrors, two-tone bumpers and a full-cloth interior all contribute to LT's upmarket image. A 4WD LT lists for $21,700.
