1999 Chevrolet Tracker news, pictures, and information

1999 CHEVY TRACKER BLENDS NEW STYLE, HANDLING AND PERFORMANCE WITH SPORT UTILITY HERITAGE

One of Tracker's greatest strengths is that it lives up to its sport utility heritage wîth outstanding durability, both on and off road.

'Tracker is an authentic SÚV, built to handle very rugged terrain,' says Brooks. 'That's important, because people choose sport utilities for their ruggedness and durability, even if people go off roading only occasionally.'

Tracker's sturdy ladder frame has the same basic design as other Chevrolet sport utility vehicles. The frame acts as a foundation that supports the body and the powertrain and anchors the suspension components.

Four-wheel-drive models feature a drastically improved four-wheel-drive system for 1999. 'Shift-on-the-fly' four-wheel drive allows the driver to shift into and out of four-wheel-drive high at any speed below 60 mph, on demand. The two speed transfer case features 4-wheel-low, which helps Tracker out of tough spots, on or off road.

New for ‘99 is an anti-flex beam located under the hood (standard wîth the 2.0-liter engine), which helps stiffen the front suspension and body structure.

New Interiors Provide Added Room and Comfort


Both two- and four-door models have more room, refinements, comfort and convenience. Major new interior features for ‘99 include the following:

A wider body provides more room for passengers -- enough for three passengers in the rear seat in four-door models.
The tilt §teering allows better articulation of the §teering wheel than the previous design.
New storage areas have been incorporated throughout the vehicle -- a sunglass holder in the dash; seatback storage; generous door pockets; and a console featuring cupholders that are square instead of round, accommodating everything from cups to juice boxes to a box of french fries.
Inside the four-door, Tracker engineers improved the way the rear seat is folded and stowed, gaining an additional 2.5 square feet of cargo-floor area in the process.
The two-door Tracker is almost inches longer than its predecessor wîth a longer rear overhang, which provides an additional 1.3 square feet of cargo-floor area wîth the rear seat stowed.
The rear compartment on two-door models is more passenger-friendly, wîth new armrests and refined interior trim.
Two-door convertible offers an optional rear lockable storage compartment that offers added security. It is also removable to provide maximum cargo area wîth the rear seats folded.
Tracker - Best of Both Worlds

'For customers, the new Tracker provides the best of all worlds because Tracker is not only agile and nimble, but also SÚV durable,' Brooks says. This perfect combination of agility and durability is what sets Tracker apart.'
Brooks adds that Tracker maintains its competitive price position, even wîth all of its new features and improvements.

'The two-door is one great convertible,' Brooks says. 'If you're lòòking for a convertible that won't cost a fortune, a two-door, two-wheel-drive Tracker is hard to beat.'

Brooks sums up by saying, 'The all-new Chevy Tracker is nothing like our customers have seen before. With a more powerful engine, improved suspension and GM-led design, SÚV fans will see this new Tracker as a very appealing SÚV and as an integral member of the Chevy sport utility lineup.'
