Car Reviews 2011 Suzuki Equator
The 2011 Suzuki Equator comes in four trim levels these are; the Base, Premium, Sport and the RMZ-4 trim. Most drivers agree that the Equator is a great pick-up truck for people who want it for outdoor activities. It comes equipped with a 2.5 liter in-line four cylinder engine, or a four-liter V6 engine. This compact pick-up has a few models to choose from, the crew cab, short or long bed, and two or four-wheel drive.
An Equator with four-cylinder and two-wheel drive get an estimated 19 mpg in the city and 23 mpg on the highway. Automatic four-cylinders get 17 mpg in the city and 22 mpg on the highway. Two-wheel drives with the V6 get a much lower 15 mpg in the city and 20 mpg on the highway. The four-cylinder models come with a standard five-speed manual transmission, while the V6 has a standard five-speed automatic.
For some the Suzuki Equator gives somewhat of a rough ride on regular roads. However, most drivers are impressed by the power and handling capabilities of this truck. Two-wheel drive models have a towing capacity of 6,300 pounds and four-wheel drive models can tow 6,100 pounds. Off-road driving and handling seems to be favored more than being on the streets.
The crew cab has seating for five and the extended cab has enough seating for four people. Truck buyers are generally not looking for a stunning interior when looking at pick-ups. The simple design and cab layout is just what driver's are looking for. There is an optional feature of a pop-up navigation system that can be removed for hikes or other activities. The materials inside the cabin are simple and easy to maintain.
The 2011 Suzuki Equator is not the most practical of trucks for everyday commuting. However, it is a great hauler and cargo carrier, it is a perfect pick-up for work related duties. It's also great for those of you who want to do some serious off-road driving. You can expect to pay $17,595 for the base Equator. If you want a work truck then the Suzuki Equator is definitely worth considering. It takes its job seriously and is diverse enough to be a workhorse. It's a good cargo hauler, but may not be so good as a passenger carrier on long journeys.
