The Suzuki Equator, a mid-size pickup truck produced from 2008 to 2009, marked Suzuki's first foray into the American pickup truck market. Though short-lived, the Equator was a rebadged Nissan Frontier, sharing its platform, engine, and many components with the popular Japanese truck. While the Equator offered a rugged, capable design with a comfortable cabin and a powerful engine, it was ultimately outmatched by its direct competitor, the Frontier, in terms of sales and brand recognition.

The Equator was offered in both King Cab and Crew Cab configurations, with a choice between 4WD and 2WD drivetrains. The standard powertrain was a 4.0-liter V6 engine, producing 261 horsepower and 281 lb-ft of torque, mated to a 5-speed automatic transmission. The Equator boasted a hauling capacity of over 1,500 pounds and a towing capacity exceeding 6,000 pounds, making it a competent workhorse for light-duty hauling and towing tasks. The truck's design incorporated a robust suspension system capable of handling rough terrain and a comfortable interior with ample passenger space and modern amenities. However, despite its promising features, the Equator struggled to gain traction in the competitive American truck market, ultimately leading to its discontinuation in 2009.
