Overview

Part of the midsize Pick-Up Truck segment, the 2010 Suzuki Equator Crew Cab competes with the Nissan Frontier, the Ford Ranger, and the Honda Ridgeline. A base MSRP of $24,775 gets you a 4.0L V6 with a five-speed automatic. Despite the price going up to $30,900 this single powertrain is found in all 3 trims. This engine produces 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, achieving a 0-60 of 8 seconds, and is offered as both a RWD and 4WD. The Suzuki Equator Crew Cab offers a short 5 feet and long 6 ft feet cargo bed, with 6,300 pounds of towing capacity and 1,382 pounds of payload capacity respectively. Currently, the Suzuki Equator Crew Cab is expected to fetch an average price of $12,445. The 2010 Suzuki Equator Crew Cab is a robust option in the midsize Pick-Up category. With over 53 units available for sale today, and with an average discount of $15 being common, now is the time to invest in your own Suzuki Equator Crew Cab.

Buying Advice

The 2010 Suzuki Equator Crew Cab would be a great addition to your garage if you are looking for a midsize pick-up truck that is versatile, has great off-road capability, packs in great features and engine for its value, and has a comprehensive warranty package. And knowing the fact it is a Nissan Frontier underneath, is just another advantage. Apart from that it has its own share of disadvantages like low dealer network, poor interior quality and limited safety features.
