Suzuki Equator

Just saw one of these -

Anyone have any experience with these Equators? Looks like it has some power and looks pretty good too.

looks like nissans truck

 

It is nissan's truck!! Suzuki subcontracted them to build the "Frontier" and place different emblems and grills on them. Which sucks for anyone out there who owns a frontier, cause their value just DROPPED!!! One more reason to get a TACOMA!!!!!

 

Makes sense.... it does look just like a Frontier

 

yea look here ... it is identical to the Frontier

If you start building one, it prices out about the same at the Taco. I'll still stick with the yota

 

It looks better than a Frontier, but it's still no Tacoma. JMO.

 

the specs are exactly the same for suzuki as the frontier when comparing. looks like Nissan is getting out of the truck business

 

stupid copycat headlights.

 

so it also inherits nissans tranny problems?

 

Now why could'nt Toyota do this on the Off-Road trucks. Its even illuminated.

 

X2...i think i read about this in Four Wheeler mag. too bad, i think the titan was a pretty good truck from what i've heard/read. the 5.6 is supposedly an awesome engine.

 

I bought an 04 titan new in 04 when they came out and were the Hemi Eaters, the only thing I liked about it was the engine, and it sucked through rear axle seals like water and Nissan just let me go out of warranty and said your problem so I traded that sucker fast. I drove a New Tundra and wanted that ...but with gas 4.50 and for what I use a truck for, I wanted the Taco. Plus I had owned an 84, and a 95 so i knew what I was buying. If suzuki wants to get into the american truck market they are going to have problems. I'd consider that Indian Truck makers diesel/gasser before a suzuki though...let them stick to bikes, atvs, snowmobile motors, tractors etc..I want a diesel mid-size that gets 30mpg + and can tow 10k

 

A flowery article about it here:

Note the 2nd paragraph.

 

At least they got rid of that stupid plastic triangle shit on the tailgate

 

That is freakin' sweet. I'd love to have a Full-Time 4wd option.

 

Yeah, I had 6 Frontiers and 3 Taco's. I honestly would never buy another Nissan again!!!! Too many things to list, but overall, just not the same quality. Now that Dodge, or sorry, I mean FIAT is taking over their builds, I'm OUT FOR SURE on 'em. JMO though

 

LOL @ this thread
