The Chevrolet Tracker Base for 2002
The Tracker Base is equipped with a Suzuki 2.0 liter four-cylinder engine that utilizes 16 valves. The engine is mated to a Aisin Warner 4-speed Transmission. This configuration has proven to be a successful design for Chevrolet.
The Tracker uses power-assisted brakes, with Non-ABS support. The front brakes are disc while the rear brakes are drum. Steering is handled through a power-steering rack-style configuration. The truck uses coil and coil springs front and rear respectively.
Tracker Base Statistics
The dimensions of the Tracker Base are 67.30 inches wide by 162.60 inches long. It sits a comfortable 65.60 inches off the ground. It seats a standard five passengers, with 2 doors. The wheelbase of 97.60 allows for limited leg room for the backseat passengers.
A powertrain warranty is provided (36,000 miles/36 months), and a 36,000 mile, 36 month guarantee also comes with the Chevrolet Tracker.
The original manufacturer suggested retail price (MSRP) was $16,790 when new, with a dealer invoice cost of $15,816. This price was in line with the industry average price for a 2-door Sport Utility.
Fuel Efficiency
The 2002 Tracker’s normal fuel system runs on gas. The fuel is regulated electronically, with a fuel-injected multi-port fuel injection (MFI) style of design. The fuel tank holds 16.90 gallons.
The 2002 Tracker gets 26 miles/gallon on the highway and only 23 in the city. This is average for a sport utility truck.
Conclusion
The 2002 model year was unsuccessful for the Chevrolet Tracker. The introduction of several trim levels (along with the Base version) meant that buyers had several options to choose from..
No one is going to think that this is going to be a good buy 10 years from now.
My mom bought a Chevrolet Tracker last year. So far so good…
There’s no doubt that Chevrolet is up to it’s old tricks with the Tracker? I’m hoping next year’s example is improved.
