It looks as though we're going to get more fun out of the March/April issue of Truck Trend, as it turns out there is an illustration of the Nissan-built Suzuki Equator right on page 47. That's the same Equator we're expecting to see at the Chicago Auto Show next week. As previously reported, Suzuki's new hauling hotness is a re-badged Nissan Frontier set to be built alongside its Nissan kin in Smyrna, Tennessee. Whether or not this is an illustration embargoed by Suzuki or just dreamed up by the folks at Truck Trend is unclear.

What is clear is the folks at Suzuki haven't given anything official to us yet — so we guess we'll keep our ears to the streets and our eyes at the newsstands and their media site for the next slip-up or official release of press shots and info.
