Suzuki has released an official front three quarter photo of the new Suzuki Equator pick-up truck, a badge reengineered version of the US market mid-sized second generation Nissan Frontier, built on the Nissan F-Alpha platform.

The F-Alpha ladder frame platform can be configured with either a fully independent suspension or with a rear solid axle, but as with the Frontier, the Suzuki Equator will go the solid axle way. Expect it to be powered by the same 265 horsepower 4.0 liter V6 in the Frontier.

    that grill horizontal bars(with holes) seem like from the latest ML series…. Seen this in Range Rover concept too(after ML(2nd Gen) Launched)

    From side looks very Navara, its side gaved it aways as Navara siblings!

    Should be a good pickup overall as Suzuki has many years(>40years) of experience in 4WD machines! From LJ to SJ to Jimny to Vitara(Escudo) to Grand Vitara…
