    Ford Travels East With the "Equator" SUV
    Date Posted 09-29-2005

    TOKYO — Ford will use the Tokyo Motor Show to unveil its new sport-utility, the Equator. The basic SUV will be aimed at the Asian market.

    Ford currently offers a Ranger-based SUV, called the Everest (Endeavor in India), in various Asian markets, including Thailand. Recently, Isuzu and Toyota stepped up their efforts in the ever growing pickup truck and pickup-based SUV markets, which prompted this response from Ford.

    Based on the first sketch, released Wednesday, the Equator will have more contemporary looks. The SUV is powered by a 3.0-liter, V6 engine and has an "intelligent" four-wheel-drive system.

    Ford is resurrecting the Equator name from 2000, when the moniker was used on an F-150-based sport-utility truck.

    Wow! Mas maganda pala yung Equator now that they've actually released the concept model. Isn't it suppose to replace the Escape and not the Everest. This concept looks too short to be a Ranger pick-up, which shares a common platform with the Everest.

    I just noticed that the bottom portion of the doors drop down to act as step boards.
