The 2009 Suzuki Equator is Suzuki's first modern pickup for the U.S. market, though the truck is basically a rebadged Nissan Frontier. The base model is an Extended Cab, with vestigial rear jump seats suitable only for children or storage. Moving up to the Crew Cab brings a welcome 4.0-liter V-6 as standard equipment (the base Extended Cab comes with a hard-pressed four-cylinder). The Crew Cab also offers much better rear seat accommodations, providing reasonable comfort and good utility. Two-wheel drive is standard on all Equators, with shift-on-the-fly four-wheel drive optional.
