2009 Chevy Equinox
The new 2009 Chevy Equinox comes with a 3.4 liter V-6 engine that's been around forever combined with a new 5-speed automatic transaxle. The Vortec V-6 is rated at 185 hp, 210 t pounds of torque. Maximum towing capability is expected to be 3500 pounds, with the optional towing package.
FWD and AWD models will be available. The on demand AWD system delivers power to the front wheels during normal driving conditions on dry road surfaces, and delivers power to the rear wheels if front wheel slippage is detected.
The new Chevy Equinox is a unitized body made of high strength steel, with full length frame rails and a passenger safety cage in a single, welded unit, and isolated subframes front and rear to keep noise, vibration and shaking to a minimum. It uses MacPherson strut front suspension and an independent four-link rear suspension with coil springs, steered by GM's electric power rack and pinion steering system.

Chevy 2009 Equinox review
The open cargo areas of the 2009 Chevy Equinox can be hazardous if you stack cargo to high. Always only carry the recommended size and weight when transporting anything in the Equinox. Inside the new Equinox can also be dangerous if you carry objects that can become projectiles inside of your vehicle if you come to a sudden stop. Also, avoid placing objects on the dashboard or rear deck of the Equinox.
