Hey everyone,
I Just came from the chicago auto show and I saw the new Suzuki version of our truck. It looked basically the same from the rear but totally different in the front. There were 3 different versions of it. One hitched up to a 23' open bow boat with a Suzuki Outboard. One with a quadbike in the tailgate, and a third for offroading. I am considering, a Frontier, but I liked the Equator. I will post pics soon.

Looks cool, does it come stock with those skid plates and tires?
Not sure, Suzuki seems to have a bad rep as far as quality... guess the price will make the diffrence. Are these the different models that they offer. The S on the front end has gotta go, looks cheesy.

Im sorry if I sound ignorant, but...Does nissan own suzuki, or did they just take the new frontier put a suzuki bike in the bed and an "S" logo on the front.?
Edit: Never mind, I found the answer. Thats exactly what they did. Oh well, even with the obnoxious "S" on the front it still looks better than the new 'yotas.

I must say it looked pretty nice with the boat hooked up to it. But I still liked the Frontier better. The guy who was talking about the car on the microphone was pretty annoying. "This 23 foot boat doesn't even come close to maxing out what this thing can tow" He didn't even know that it was based on the Nissan Frontier.

Looks like a cheep, cheesy version of the frontier. I think the frontier looks a billion times better. The frontier just looks more rugged.
