What is it? The Suzuki X-Head is a compact truck concept that has a very tall stance for good off-road ground clearance and an upright cab for space efficiency. Neoprene fabric covers the seats so you can hose the cab out easily. It uses a full-time four-wheel drive system with a limited slip center differential, along with a four-cylinder engine and a six-speed dual-clutch transmission.

What is new or notable? The sides of this truck's bed fold down to reveal large, shelved storage compartments to secure gear such as flashlights, cameras, kites, or other toys. Three different modules are designed to go on the back, one for camping, one for urban errands, and a third for search and rescue operations.
