2012 Suzuki Equator Truck

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

The 2012 Suzuki Equator is a mid-size pickup truck that comes in a four-door Crew Cab or two-door Extended Cab trim levels. The Equator is powered by a standard 2.5-liter 4-cylinder engine that produces 152 hp and 171 lb-ft of torque and an optional 4.0-liter V6 engine that produces 261 hp and 281 lb-ft of torque. Both trims are available in RWD or 4WD and can be paired with a 5-speed manual or 5-speed automatic transmission. Fuel mileage is an EPA estimated 19 mpg city and 23 mpg highway. Features include air conditioning, 4-speaker audio system, rear-seat split-back cushions, dual-power mirrors, fog lamps and high performance shocks. Safety is comprised of dual-stage front airbags, roof-mounted curtain side-impact airbags, front seat-mounted side-impact supplemental airbags and tire pressure monitoring. The Equator is backed by a 3-year/36,000-mile warranty.

Benefits of Driving a 2012 Suzuki Equator Truck

The Suzuki Equator is a solid compact pickup that comes at an affordable price. The base-level extended cab model begins well under $18,000, while the top-of-the-line crew cab goes just less than $30,000. There's a lot of variation in between, with a configuration for almost every budget and need, including 4-wheel drive, two bed sizes and two engine choices-- an efficient 4-cylinder and a powerful V6.

What's new for 2012?

The Equator sees few changes for 2012.

Model Strengths

  • Many cab and engine configuration options
  • affordably priced compact truck
  • available 4-wheel drive

Model Review

The base-level Equator extended cab comes with a 2.5L 4-cylinder engine, rear-wheel drive, and a 5-speed manual transmission. Everything about those specs can be upgraded, depending on trim level: a 4.0L V6 is available, as is a 4-wheel drivetrain and a 5-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The crew cab has only the V6 engine and the automatic transmission, though there is a choice between 2- and 4-wheel drive.

Safety Ratings help

What do the Safety Ratings mean?

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests:

Driver Crash Grade:

Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury.

Passenger Crash Grade:

Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger.

Rollover Resistance:

Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover.

Side Impact Crash Test - Front:

Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury.

Side Impact Crash Test - Rear:

Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.

Original Warranty  help
Original Warranty
An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment.
The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including:
Basic Warranty:
Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters.
Drivetrain Warranty:
This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be.
Roadside Assistance:
The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car.
Corrosion Warranty:
This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal.
Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.
