Chevrolet Adds New Package To Its Diverse S-10 Pickup Lineup

DETROIT-The 2002 Chevrolet S-10 Pickup lineup adds the all-new ZR5 option package to the Crew Cab model in the first quarter of 2002, combining a sporty, youthful exterior appearance with fully functional accessories.

"We want to give our customers the option of adding the athletic appearance and practicality that ZR5 provides to our popular S-10 Pickup Crew Cab model," said Jim Campbell, Chevrolet S-10 Pickup brand manager.

The ZR5 package will carry an MSRP of $1,500 and includes a roof rack, wheel flares, black anodized bed rails and side steps, 15" X 7" cast aluminum, five-spoke wheels with spectra gray accents, 235/75R-15 Goodyear Wrangler tires and ZR5 decals. In addition to the ZR5 package, the Crew Cab offers, as standard equipment, driver and right front passenger air bags, antilock brakes, fog lights, power door locks, power windows, air conditioning and electronic compass.

"ZR5 offers the features and comforts of an SUV with the versatility of an aggressive looking pickup, that can easily transport cargo in the bed and on the roof," Campbell said.

"The sporty stance and athletic looks of the ZR5 were influenced by similar after-market items that are popular in today's marketplace," said Ron Owen, Chevrolet S-10 Pickup assistant brand manager. "We want to offer our customers a complete package that caters to their active lifestyles, and the ZR5 does just that."

"With the addition of ZR5, we have a package for each of the S-10 Pickup body styles which bolsters our product line, making it even stronger and more diverse," said Campbell.
