Base and Premium extended cabs used the 2.5L four-cylinder, while the 4.0L V6 powered the Sport and the off-road RMZ-4 with its Bilstein shocks and locking rear differential. Because the chassis, engines and wiring are shared with the Frontier but trim content is Suzuki's own, this factory service and repair manual keeps procedures, specifications, torque values, wiring diagrams and diagnostics matched to the 2009 build, with the maintenance schedules for both engines.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEngines covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2.5L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4.0L V6 — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBody styles covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-door extended cab pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e4-door crew cab pickup\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTrims covered\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBase\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePremium\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRMZ-4\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSport\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKnown issues on the 2009 Equator.\u003c\/strong\u003e One recall is on federal record: some trucks were fitted with a Garmin nuvi 750, 760 or 765 navigation unit whose battery could overheat and create a fire risk, and Garmin replaced the battery and added a spacer.
