2009 Suzuki Equator RMZ-4 4x4 Review - First Drive - Four Wheeler
We also testdrove the new Suzuki Equator pickup-and if you've spent any time in a Nissan Frontier lately, you know in advance what a capable truck it is. While the Equator does sport some Suzuki-unique styling cues--to the grille, interior... We piloted the Equator through the same off-road course we took the Grand Vitara through, and it wasn't the least bit challenged-not surprising, given the RMZ-4 package, and the fact that the Frontier it's based off is arguably the most capable... The timing may not be optimal to launch a new truck in the U. S. market, but Suzuki has chosen wisely and well in its partnership with Nissan. We'll have both a Grand Vitara and an Equator in our 2009 Four Wheeler and Pickup Truck of the Year tests, which we'll feature in the February and March 2009 issues, respectively. Bilstein shocks, BFG Rugged Trails, full skidplating, rear locker. The best pound-for-pound midsize pickup makes a great platform for Suzuki's entry into the U. S. truck market.
