Suzuki Equator in RWD Form Does Little To Set Itself Apart from the Competition

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Try as I might, no compelling reason comes to mind to buy the Suzuki Equator, the rear-wheel drive pickup truck introduced by the Japanese car company so it could have an “entry into the midsize pickup truck market and expand the company’s offering of activity-oriented cars and trucks.” Those last words are straight from the Suzuki press release that announced the Equator when it was first introduced last year. Frankly, I found no compelling reason to actually write a review about the Equator, which visited my driveway for a week in February until almost two months later. (Other more inter- esting topics and reviews had come my way in the interim.) The lack of compulsion on my part derives mostly from the fact that there are a lot of great midsize pickup trucks on the market The 2009 Suzuki Equator is a midsize pickup truck that faces a tough, competitive market. right now and I just can’t recommend the Equator over the Dodge or five-speed manual transmis- shocks, skid plates, BFGoodrich VITAL STATISTICS Dakota, Honda Ridgeline or sion (available only on four-cylin- Rugged Trail P265/75R16 tires, Wheelbase: 125.9 inches Toyota Tacoma. der models), and offers an avail- fog lamps, chrome mirrors and Length: 206.6 inches But, if you’re still with me, the able shift-on-the-fly 4WD system door handles, unique RMZ-4 seat Width: 72.8 inches converse is true.

In the market for a new midsize pickup? I can’t recommend the Auto Review Equator RWD because it has such strong competition and little to set it apart. However, the 4WD version has received some high marks, so it should be worth con- sideration.
