Motorcycle companies, even great ones like Suzuki, aren’t necessarily equipped to build great pickups.

So when Suzuki decided to add a mid-sized truck to its stable of affordable vehicles for the young at heart, it decided there was no reason to reinvent the wheel, especially when a perfectly fine one was readily at hand.

Suzuki talked Nissan into screwing its nameplate onto some Nissan Frontiers. The result? A truck with the joie de la vie, the kawabanga, hang-it-all-out image of a Suzuki, but which also offers the quality, comfort, and durability of a Nissan.
