Used 2012 Suzuki Equator Consumer Reviews

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

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.

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.
