SAN ANTONIO, TX - If you're going to launch a new pickup truck, what better a place to do it from than the self-proclaimed home of the pickup truck, Texas. We joined American Suzuki Motor Corporation at an impressive ranch just outside of San Antonio. The Knibbe ranch is a cattle ranch that has been owned and operated by the Knibbe family for well over 100 years and the pride and caring they show for their ranch and guests is inspiring. There were two main agenda items to tackle during the short time we were there. First, the newly redesigned Grand Vitara and the new release of the Suzuki Equator pickup.   Click here for more.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Low Range Off-Road is proud to bring the popular 2 Wheel Drive Low Reverse-"S" Shifter kits back to the market. Sure there have been two wheel conversion kits on the market for years and some of good quality but none of them allow you to retain the detent balls. With out them installed you may have to search for the proper gear. This can be a real distraction on the trail when you should be picking your line not wondering if your in two or four wheel high or low range. You can also run the stock single shifter and t-case boots to keep water and other stuff out of your t-case. Not so with some twin stick kits. You will have very positive shifts never having to "feel" around for a gear. This will allow you to have 2wd low range to your rear axle as well as a true neutral that is nice for those flat towing. Intro Price: $199.00 Note: There is not core charge for these parts but if you send back your old shift rails and forks, we will give you $40 in-store credit. Reverse-S Billet Shifter Knob Price: $25.00 www.lowrangeoffroad.com
