I was just looking at Petersons4WD and saw a review for this truck. Well after reading all the specs and options it honestly seems like Suzuki came here to see what we liked and chose all the best options of the Tacoma and everything it lacked and put it into their own truck. But I guess its more of a re branded Frontier.

Still, I'm looking forward to hearing more about this truck and if you havent seen it yet, google it or go buy the latest Petersons

It is a re-branded Nissan. Absolutely no mechanical differences, just cosmetics. And a better warranty.

^ yup the suzuki truck is 100% rebadged nissan frontier, just like the mitsubishi raider is 100% rebadged dodge dakota

Anybody else see this crap, I was browsing Motortrend when I saw the add and I was shocked at how much of a Tacoma knock off this thing is from the lights to the fender flares even down to the radio and the orange lighting!!

The more I researched it now it looks like if you mate a frontier and a taco. Its based on the frontier its a joint venture with nissan but the front end and many small details look just like a taco if you put an imaginary grillecraft instead of the hideous grille

im pretty sure majority of us have already heard about the suzuki equator. so what do you guys think about? besides just being a rebadge nissan frontier. do you guys think it will have its own niche on a tacoma dominated market? for you who haven't heard about it heres a link.. http://www.roadandtrack.com/article....rticle_id=7088

***eyedoc*** · 01-13-2009, 05:15 PM

its own niche......... hardly. I won't own one and neither will anyone on this site....guaranteed!

Well, except for maybe clu7ch......he might!?!?!?

looks just like the frontier... which i hate. so no i hate it

griffin407c · 01-13-2009, 05:37 PM

junk... it'll get the same amount of sales that the mitsubishi truck (made by dodge) gets. NONE

Sorry, forgot about this thread. Interesting to see eveyones opinion though. I'm not sure where I stand on it... if the price was much cheaper it would look pretty good. As it is though I would much rather have a Tacoma for a similar price.

i guess if i find one used for hella cheap it would be a cool beater truck for the desert of something.
