2012 Suzuki Equator Crew CAB towing capacity

The 2012 Suzuki Equator Crew CAB is published in 3 configurations, with tow ratings ranging from 6,100 to 6,300 lb depending on cab, bed, drivetrain, and hitch class. The peak figure (6,300 lb) sits in mid-size SUV / pickup territory.

The table below lists every trim of the 2012 Suzuki Equator Crew CAB with the engine, drivetrain, axle ratio, horsepower, torque, GVWR, curb weight, and payload that go with that trim's headline tow rating. Manufacturers often publish more than one tow figure per truck — a conventional bumper-hitch rating, a weight-distributing rating, and a gooseneck or fifth-wheel rating — so the highest number here is the maximum across all hitch classes the source carries for the trim.

Per-trim breakdown

How to interpret the headline tow figure

Tow ratings at this level are normally achievable with a conventional Class II or Class III receiver hitch. Always verify your vehicle has the manufacturer's tow package installed if you intend to tow at the upper end of the rating, and inspect the door-jamb sticker for the actual maximum permitted on your specific configuration.

How this year compares to 2011

The 2011 Suzuki Equator Crew CAB carried a maximum tow rating of 6,300 lb. The 2012 model carries the same headline figure — manufacturers usually leave the rating alone year-over-year unless there's a powertrain or hitch change.
