The Suzuki Equator was a short-lived mid-size pickup truck based on the Nissan Frontier and assembled by Nissan.[1] The Suzuki Equator was first sold in the US for the 2009 model year with MSRP prices starting at $17,220, and was first shown at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show.
The Equator was offered in Extended Cab and Crew Cab styles, the former offering space for four and the latter for five passengers. In the Canadian and Mexican markets, the Equator was only offered in the Crew Cab configuration, in a single trim level.
Power on base Extended Cab models came from a 4-cylinder engine. A V6 was optional on Extended Cab models and standard with the Crew Cab. Both engines was supplied by Nissan.
The base 2.5 L Inline-4 produced 152 hp (113 kW) at 5,200 rpm and 171 lb·ft (232 N·m) at 4,400 rpm,[2] and was a rear-wheel-drive. It came with either a five-speed manual transmission or a five-speed automatic.
The 4.0 L V6 engine developed 261 hp (195 kW) at 5,600 rpm and 281 lb·ft (381 N·m) at 4,000 rpm.[2] It came standard with a five-speed automatic and was available with four-wheel-drive.
The Equator triumphed over the new Dodge Ram 1500, 2009 Ford F150, Hummer H3 Alpha and H3T Adventure, Kia Borrego EX V8, and Toyota Sequoia Platinum in Peterson's 4Wheel & Off-Road's 2009 4x4 of the Year.[3]
