Suzuki X-Head concept

**haven** · 10-04-2007, 05:25 PM

Suzuki has released a few photos of a vehicle
they built for the 2007 Tokyo auto show

It's about 12 feet long, 4x4, powered by a 1300cc
gas engine.

Chance of seeing it in USA is zero, but it's an
interesting concept. Sorta like a 3/4 scale version
of an old Dodge A100 or Jeep Forward Control.

how much payload can it carry and what is its suspension design, i would totally buy one! have you guys seen the little farm trucks ill see if i can find a picture, i think they are a diahatsu.

these things are fun!

Those storage shelves integrated into the truck bed are genius. Why some of the "big" manufacturers haven't capitalized on that concept is beyond me.

I dig it. I would definitely buy one.

At first...no. Then once I started looking...well, maybe. Same thing I said about my Frontier CC when I saw them come out on the market.

Not sure I like the color though.

Neat truck. I like one. Maybe not in that green, but a nice black or white one would be cool.

12 feet long so... 144" total length, that's gotta give it somewhere around a 100" wheelbase right? And in that last picture posted by Zoojunkie, it's coil-sprung solid axles at both ends.

That might be just the right size, now that I think about it. Where do I sign up?

Hummmm looks familiar don't it?
Jeep FC-170

Hey, that front end makes it look like a "mini-'Mog!"

Very cool! I like it! With gas prices going the way they are I think this is a smart way to go - find a way to do more with less!

Now they need to come up with a convertible SUV version (by convertible I mean something similar in concept to the Chevy Avalanche - somthing that can go from a 4 passenger SUV to a pickup and back again.)

EDIT: A 1300cc gas engine from Suzuki? Sounds familiar. Could it be a version of the Hayabusa motor? Normally I wouldn't think of a motorcycle engine as being a good thing in a truck but maybe with the right tuning and transmission it could work.
