Scotty, would it be a bad idea to buy a Suzuki Equator even if it were to come with a manual transmission?
(rebadged Nissan Frontier)
No offense, Kerem, but Suzuki no longer makes automobiles for the U.S. market.

Yes I know that but pointing out that the parts are Nissan Frontier and assembled by Nissan could help someones answer. 🙂
"The Suzuki Equator was a mid-size pickup truck based on the Nissan Frontier and assembled by Nissan.[1] It was first sold in the US for the 2009 model year with prices starting at $17,220, and made its debut at the 2008 Chicago Auto Show.
The Equator was offered as either a four-seat Extended Cab or a five-seat Crew Cab. In the Canadian market, the Equator is only offered in the Crew Cab configuration, in a single trim level.
Power on base Extended Cab models comes from a 4-cylinder engine. A V6 is optional on Extended Cab models and standard with the Crew Cab. Both engines are supplied by Nissan."
Its basically a Nissan Frontier and those are decent trucks parts are much easier to find for Nissan than Suzuki and you can often get them cheap so it could be a good truck.
As @mod_man has said, Suzuki parts are hard to find and their cars aren't great but its a Nissan Frontier so...
Like others have said, it’s a rebadged Nissan Frontier. Frontiers were OK.
I wouldn't buy one in the states. Suzuki just isn't popular here in America when it comes to cars and trucks.
