Equinox certainly looks the part of a Chevrolet truck from the front, with its more or less standard single grille bar sporting a large gold Chevrolet bow tie emblem. But its side view shape is quite a bit different from the rest of the family, and for that, youll like it. The bigger size is evident everywhere. The doors open wide for easy entry and exit, and the rear gate goes up and out of the way for easy loading of cargoes, freight, dogs, camping equipment or what have you. The long wheelbase chassis of this 3600 pound car truck provided a plush ride, good cornering performance, relatively crisp handling, and long trip comfort. The brakes are well matched to the size and weight of the Equinox, with good, progressive pedal travel and linear braking force application. With its unique look and larger size than the American and Asian competition, the Equinox is in a position to please the more demanding customers looking for more power and more space than the norm in this segment. The Equinox has a very flexible interior design with lots of space for family goods, and lots of space for American sized people in both rows of seats. It has a distinctly Japanese feel to it, inside and out, but its American, built in Canada, and a heck of a deal for the money.
