Suzuki Equator
Being a copy of the Nissan Frontier built in Tennessee for Suzuki, the Equator truck has been with us since last year only. There is but one version available, the Crew Cab 4x4 powered by a 261 horsepower 4.0-litre V6 engine. The Frontier’s four-cylinder engine did not make the transition to the Equator. The four-wheel drive system is standard and its towing capabilities reach 2,858 kg (6,300 lb). With this truck, Suzuki targets ATV buyers and outdoorsmen.
