Suzuki Equator

Postby Gray » Mon Feb 18, 2008 2:25 pm

With the new Suzuki Equator /Frontier based truck coming on stream I wonder how many parts will be interchangable with PF pieces, maybe some at better prices;

Interesting. For some reason, I didn't get the memo about that truck.

I suspect this is a good thing for Nissan, assuming they've scaled back Pathfinder production in response to lagging sales.

Cool. I really like the yellow RMZ-4. Looks to be exactly the same truck with the exception of the front end. Suzuki does this quite a bit IIRC.

Aka Isuzu / Honda just a few years back.

Canyon/Colorado twins and the Isuzu Pup... Oh and remeber when they made the Isuzu Trooper into an Acura. I think the majority of the SUV rollover rap came from that thing... lets not forget the Mazda Ranger

I kinda like the front end on the OD green guy with the bull bar.

It really began with the CJs. Many lawsuits with those. What started the whole rollover thing was the Suzuki Samurai and the good old boys at Consumer Reports.

BTW, I had a Trooper and really wanted to get another one, but it was discontinued and the Isuzu dealerships shut down. I loved that thing-very utilitarian.
