The versatility continues with the opportunity to purchase one of four dealer installed 'Lifestyle Accessory Packages'. Depending on your weekend activities you can choose a camping, biking, hiking or sport appearance package. Each one includes interest specific accessories such as a fitted tent that attaches to the rear of the vehicle and a custom air mattress that sits on the floor when the rear seats are removed (an easy task). The price for this camping option is so low that dealers will probably throw it in as an incentive to finalize a sale. The biking package includes a lockable roof top bike carrier and utility bar as well as the most effective rubber floor mats to ever hit the market (to protect against the rain, snow, dirt and mud you will inherently pick up while tackling the wild frontier on your 'extreme' mountain bike adventure). 'Way cool' nylon seat covers round out this option. The hiking package includes an interior seat backpack that serves as an organizer while inside, and a handy daypack while hiking. Floor mats and nylon seat covers complete this package. The sport appearance package includes a molded hood deflector, floor mats, window vent visors a flashy exterior decal.
Fortunately, the Aztek's on-road attributes are as versatile as its accessories. Its 'wide track' and short wheelbase provide car-like ride and handling characteristics similar to other Pontiac products, while its sturdy 3.4-liter V6 (with 185 hp at 5,200 rpm and 210 lb ft of torque at 4,000) provides ample power, resulting in a 2,000 lb towing capacity. If you regularly pull more weight an optional 3,500 lb capacity trailer package includes rear leveling and a compressor to fill up bike tires, air mattresses or your rubber dinghy. A four-speed electronically controlled transmission sends power to the front wheels on the base model while GM's class leading VersaTrak all-wheel drive (AWD) system is optional.
