Suzuki showed the rebadged Nissan Frontier, which named the Equator today at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show. The Equator will go into production by the end of this year and will be built along the Nissan Frontier in Smyrna, Tennessee. Suzuki developed three different concepts that represent a truck that matches the capability of an RMZ-4 sport bike, another that captures the backwoods spirit of a Quad, and a third that would make a great boat towing vehicle down at the Quay.
The truck actually looks really good, but the black Quay looked rather classy. While the RMZ-4 and Quad featured some concept-like styling add-ons, the Quay looked completely different. The Equator will come with a choice of a 152-hp inline-four or an optional 4.0L DOHC V6 delivering 261 hp and 281 lb.-ft. of torque. Those will be matched with a five-speed automatic or a five-speed stick for the I4 or six-speed manual with the V6.
