Portland Suzuki Dealer: 2011 Suzuki Equator is an Impressively Tough Truck

November 10th, 2010 | Author: garrettira

Suzuki Auto wrote a great article about the 2011 Suzuki Equator. This mid-sized truck combines road readiness, utility and class leading safety features. While introduced in 2009, the Equator carries Suzuki’s sport traditions from the ’70s when the 360cc Jimmy was introduced. Suzuki brings this history into the wide range of sport vehicles available today. It is visible in the attention to detail in the styling and handling of this updated 2011 Suzuki truck.

Designed for outstanding performance and durability, the Equator’s V6 engine features an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, Teflon®1-coated pistons, micro-finished forged steel crankshaft, micro-finished camshafts driven by a silent two-stage timing chain and variable valve timing for long lasting performance. With the 125.9 wheel base for driving stability and comfort, the Equator is the right size for both work and play.
