When test driving a Used Toyota Yaris, lets think about the superiority of a Toyota and the resale value for a Used Toyota, it’s not lets say, as good as purchasing a Used Honda in Jacksonville, but it does have an advantage over the opposition.

The 2009 Equator made by Suzuki is outfitted with an awesome 6 cylinder, not as good as the Toyota Tundra V6, which has great strength for every weekend project and light duty work pickup task. The less expensive 4 cylinder engine is also offered in the 2009 Suzuki, receiving much better gas mileage than the V6  is much easier on your wallet, but if I’m hauling my boat to the lake or late for a ball game the more horsepower six cylinder is the choice I’m taking. Producing an abundance of low-end torque, 6 cylinder models are up to almost every task, the Equator has the best suspension and driving ability for every chore along with a very easy shifting automatic transmission.

The RMZ-4's off-road suspension setup makes that bumpy ride act a little more like a pickup. The four wheel drive series are capable of backwoods riding, this truck has an unbelievable amount of compression throughout the suspension, along with ten inches of road clearance. The price-leader base Equator is stripped and outfitted with fifteen inch steel rims and bucket seats with a console but not much else, A/C or a sound system is standard. The upgraded model has 16” aluminum rims, a rear slide glass, a tilt steering wheel, remote entry, all power accessories and comfortable cloth interior. Choosing the Sport gets you seventeen inch alloy rims, a rhino coated bed liner and removable tie-down hooks in the bed. The RMZ-4 looks great with chrome exterior trim, much stronger axles, an electric locking rearend, Bilstein shocks, brush plates, 16” aluminum wheels with meat hogs for tires, fog lamps, height and lumbar adjustments for the driver seat and metallic interior accents. The RMZ-4 Sport upgrades are a stereo system with a CD player, an auxiliary audio jack, satellite radio prep, and Bluetooth capabilities. Oddly enough, an aftermarket style navigation system is optional on all crew cabs but not available on the extended-cab Equators. Bluetooth is an option exclusively provided for the RMZ-4 crew cab.
