Positive Review
Comfortable, but not fancy. Excellent performance at the cost of fuel economy. Which would be my only complaint, gas mileage should NOT be your first concern if buying this truck. Although it improved quite a bit since new, it still only gets appx. 18 mpg overall IIRC. Very versatile hauling and towing capabilities. I love this truck after almost 2 years of ownership.

Comfortable and reliable.
Power window control. Small space rear of main sea
I have owned truck with 6 miles until 80,000 currently. Super comfortable. Reliable at any day, any weather. So far just driver window control changed and thats it. Just one change of full set of tires plus normal oil and filter upkeep. Not suitable for more than 1 passenger and small child. Back seat area great for luggage or groceries, etc. Lets just say it's a "drive it till the wheels fall off" truck.
tough and good looking - the RMZ- is an excellent value
Reliable and economical
Small jump seat passenger area not comfortable
I bought my 2011 Equator used with just 30,000 miles on it. It has been very reliable in that I have used it for hauling debris from a condo I remodeled over the past year. I have had no mechanical issues with it save for a power window on the driver side that sometimes is a little sticky. It drives well and the gas mileage I get with the four cylinder engine is very good. I fill it for about $40 once or twice a month. My only regret is the small passenger area. These are really jump seats and they are not practical for passengers in my opinion. I use that area for mostly groceries or beach chairs or small boxes or items.
Fun to drive,lots of compliments on the looks.
Typical fuel mileage for a 4x4 truck.
I’ve had this truck since it was brand new and it’s been totally reliable and a hard working pickup. It pulls my 12’ landscape trailer all mowing season long and has never given me a bit of trouble.
Great bodywork looks, very reliable, fun to drive,
Mileage is not great, but its a 4x4!
This truck has not had one single problem with it. It looks brand new even though it is bright red and is outside 24/7/365 the paint has not faded at all. I like the styling a lot better than the Nissan Frontier which it is under the skin (the Suzuki Equator is a Nissan Frontier with different bodywork...most people like it better). The truck is comfortable and powerful and completely reliable. I wish Suzuki still sold them as I would be another one!
this truck has everything and more and priced well
wish gas mil. was better. 18-20
I would buy this truck again in a heartbeat. 93000 miles and only one repair (pass side window) and it was repaired under warrenty. one battery, three sets of front pads and two rear, on second set of tires and still have plenty, lots of power and towing and more comfortable than any vehicle i have owned. Why they stopped making them is a mystery. Wish they would come back.
Good MPG, reliable decent ride
Back seat room, can't dim dash lights
I bought my Equator as a leftover. The dealer couldn't sell it since it was a stick. I was happy to take it at a nice discount. Since I got it in 2010 I've put over 176,000 on it and I haven't tuned it up yet. Starts fine and runs great. I get anywhere from 22-25 MPG. It's a 2.5 4cyl with 5 speed, 2wd. All I've had to replace besides the usual tires/brakes are the front wheel bearings. Back seats are only good for small kids. Comfortable up front. A/C is ice cold and heat is great in winter. Hauls firewood and whatever else I need just fine. I plan to keep it forever.
Drives great, comfy and great for hauling stuff
Only 18-20 mpg and turns a little wide, not tight.
I bought my Suzuki Equator King Cab new and have never had a mechanical issue with it in 58,000+ miles. Only 18-20 mpg but runs great! Good looking, a little big on turns. The true source is a Nissan Frontier but Suzuki stepped up some features that make it a better truck.
