<div align="center"><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><small>2009 Suzuki Equator - Click above for high-res image gallery</small></span><br /></div>
<br />Suzuki has chosen a rather dubious time to enter the pickup truck market with the 2009 Equator. As you are surely aware, trucks and SUV sales are way down from their apogee a few years back, and small cars like the ones that have historically filled Suzuki showrooms are all the rage. So, why would the Japanese automaker even bother with a mid-sized pickup truck based on the Nissan Frontier? That's a good question, and we aimed to find out when we grabbed the keys to Team Yellow's first-ever real pickup contender in the U.S. Read on to see what the Suzuki Equator has to offer.<br /><br /><br /><div class="postgallery"><p><strong>Gallery: <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator">First Drive: 2009 Suzuki Equator</a></strong></p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/suzuki_equator_fd_large_35_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/suzuki_equator_fd_large_05_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/suzuki_equator_fd_large_04_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/suzuki_equator_fd_large_31_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/photos/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/"><img src="http://www.blogcdn.com/www.autoblog.com/media/2008/09/suzuki_equator_fd_large_34_thumbnail.jpg" alt="" title="" /></a></div><br /><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><small>All Photos </small></span><span style="font-weight: bold;">(C) </span><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;"><small>Copyright Jeremy Korzeniewski / Weblogs Inc.</small></span><p><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/23/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/" rel="bookmark">Continue reading <em>First Drive: 2009 Suzuki Equator</em></a></p><p style="padding:5px;background:#ddd;border:1px solid #ccc;clear:both;"><a href="http://www.autoblog.com/2008/09/23/first-drive-2009-suzuki-equator/">First Drive: 2009 Suzuki Equator</a> originally appeared on <a href="http://www.autoblog.com">Autoblog</a> on Tue, 23 Sep 2008 11:57:00 EST.
