El Paso Suzuki dealer, Viva Suzuki, is introducing the 2010 Suzuki Equator to El Paso Suzuki shoppers.

Entering its sophomore season as 4-Wheel & Off-Road magazine’s “4×4 of the Year,” the 2010 Suzuki Equator has a lot to boast about this midsize pickup. It offers a great combination of style, utility, off-road capability as well as comfort.

The 2010 Equator is available in an Extended Cab and Crew Cab body style, as well as rear-wheel-drive or four-wheel-drive (4WD) options. The Crew Cab has the option of either a Short Bed or Long Bed version.

The Equator offers a standard 2.5-liter DOHC inline four-cylinder engine with 152 horsepower, or an available 4.0-liter V6 DOHC engine producing 261 horsepower. The V6 engine features an aluminum block with cast iron cylinder liners, Teflon-coated pistons, micro-finished forged steel crankshaft, micro-finished camshafts and variable valve timing.

The transmission comes in either a five-speed automatic transmission or five-speed manual transmission, which is available only on four-cylinder models. The 4WD system can be shifted on-the-fly and the Equator also offers a comprehensive off-road traction system with an electronic locking rear differential, Vehicle Dynamic Control, Hill Descent Control and Hill Hold Control.

Suzuki Equator Offers El Paso Shoppers Comfort & Cargo Room

Don’t let the ruggedness of the 2010 Equator fool you, though. This midsize pickup offers sedan-type comfort with flip-up rear seats, fold flat front passenger seat and removable storage boxes beneath the rear seats to provide more cargo space. There are a number of power points and cupholders, and the Premium, Sport and RMZ-4 packages include standard power mirrors, door locks and windows, cruise control and remote keyless entry.

The Extended Cab and Crew Cab Equators offer a high-utility bed with factory-applied spray-on bedliner and a tie-down system with adjustable tracks.

The 2010 Equator boasts many safety features, including standard roof-mounted curtain side-impact and rollover supplemental airbags as well as seat-mounted side-impact supplemental airbags. Standard stability control is available on the V6 models.

Other safety equipment includes front and rear crumple zones, seat belt sensors and front occupant classification sensor, three-point front seat belts and a LATCH (Lower Anchors and Tethers for Children) child seat anchor system for the rear seat in the Crew Cab model.

The Equator is backed by a 100,000-mile/seven-year powertain limited warranty.
