AND EVERYTHING ELSE IN BETWEEN.

The award-winning Suzuki Equator is the pickup that lets you live your life without limits. It offers advanced 4WD capability to

confidently carry you and your gear over the toughest terrain without breaking a sweat. It features a fully boxed ladder frame, like

the strongest full-sized trucks, to handle all the punishment you can dish out. Under the hood, the available 261-hp V6 engine serves

up the power and torque to make tackling trails a blast, while delivering a towing capacity of up to 6,300

to the road unprepared, and with the Equator, you’ll be ready for whatever comes your way.

the guts to get the job done.

Information Provided by:

You expect a lot from your truck, and Equator Crew Cab doesn’t fail to deliver the goods. Let’s start with a gutsy and powerful V6 that puts 281 lb-ft of torque

directly under your right foot. Then add to that a fully boxed ladder frame for exceptional torsional rigidity to deliver an excellent ride and better off-road

handling. But we didn’t stop there. You also get a factory spray-on bed liner that prevents corrosion and scratch damage, and a cargo tie-down system that

helps you easily secure weekend toys like dirt bikes and ATVs. Add to that its impressive 6,300-lb towing capacity, and it’s easy to see that when it comes to

on- and off-road capability, Equator means business—and it has the chops to back it up.

Equator was designed and engineered to handle the rough stuff. Its available electronic shift-on-the-fly 4WD system lets you easily

select between 2WD, 4WD-High and 4WD-Lo to provide the optimal drive configuration for any on- or off-road situation you may

encounter. But that’s just the beginning. The Equator RMZ-4 also delivers over 10 inches of ground clearance at the rear diff, backed up

with Bilstein® shocks and skid plates to ensure that no matter how tough the going gets, you always get to where you’re going.

ELECTRONIC REAR LOCKING DIFFERENTIAL

No more wading into the river to check

if the rear differential is locked. Simply

bring the truck to a stop, flip the switch,

and you’re ready to roll.

Rugged skid plates are strategically

placed on the Equator RMZ-4 to protect

the oil pan, transfer case and fuel tank

during serious off-roading.

HILL HOLD & HILL DESCENT CONTROLSKID PLATES

These two features make navigating steep

hills less heart-stopping. Hill Hold Control

allows you to stop on an incline without

rolling back for up to two seconds,

giving you time to move your foot to

the accelerator for a smooth start. Hill

Descent Control lets you come back

down without riding the brakes, ensuring

a controlled and drama-free descent as

long as there is sufficient traction.

4-WHEEL DRIVE

Equator’s available shift-on-the-fly 4WD

system lets you engage 2WD mode for fuel

efficiency, 4WD-High mode for mud and snow,

or 4WD-Lo mode for the most challenging

conditions. All with just the turn of a switch.
