2011 Dodge Nitro

"Dewey Chrysler definitely made the car buying experience enjoyable for me and my wife. It was a no pressure sales environment, and their prices were fair for both parties.  The overall experience from when we arrived, to the negotiation, to drive-off coordinator, and finally to financing was all above and beyond our car buying expectations. I would highly recommend visiting Dewey Chrysler before purchasing your next vehicle, as you will be pleasantly surprised just as we were."

Exterior Design of the New Nitro

  
 
The Nitro is related to the Jeep Liberty, features Dodge's distinctive crosshair grille. It shares its platform with the Jeep Liberty and the similarities in shape and proportions are clear. The exterior style may be a bit too boxy for some tastes, a frequent criticism leveled at this SUV since its introduction. The Nitro features Dodge's Load 'n Go cargo floor, which slides out 18 inches over the rear bumper to make loading heavy or awkward items easier. It has a 400-pound capacity and six cargo tie-downs. Nitro styling starts with a set of 20-inch chrome clad wheels that'll turn heads just as fast as they turn corners. With wheels this big, the Nitro is a VIP that stands out from the crowd of boring SUVs.

Just knowing it's there offers a level of security and confidence for the driver. For driving safety, the four-wheel-disc ABS system with brake assist helps prevent wheel lockup under extreme braking or slippery conditions, resulting in shorter stopping distances and improved control. Tough and rugged calipers clamp down on big-time discs made from high-carbon damped iron for quiet, fade-free stopping power. The Dodge Nitro Heat features 20-in. aluminum wheels, body color grille with bright billets, sunscreen glass and performance suspension. The quality-proven 3.7-liter V-6 engine delivers 210 horsepower and 235 lb.-ft. of torque and is available in 4x2 and 4x4 models. Detonator packs a punch with 23 percent more horsepower and 12 percent more torque than the smaller V-6 offering. Detonator shares its powertrain with Heat 4.0, including the aluminum 4.0-liter overhead cam V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission. The Detonator package also features 20-in. polished aluminum wheels, nine premium speakers with subwoofer, remote start and Parksense rear park assist system. The Dodge Nitro Shock is fully loaded with the 4.0-liter overhead cam V-6 engine and five-speed automatic transmission.  The independent front suspension gives the driver an optimum combination of ride, handling and steering, which provides a greater sense of control and precision. The solid five-link rear suspension, including upper and lower trailing links and track bar, provides higher lateral stiffness for vehicle responsiveness and outstanding handling.

Summary


Buy 2011 Nitro Des MoinesFor the latest updates on this rugged SUV, visit the official Dodge Nitro site.  The Nitro, a mid-size SUV from Dodge combines a high belt line and a raised seating position for passengers in a unique and distinctive "boxy" shape to set itself apart from other mid-size SUV's. Nitro provides the flexibility you need to carry it all without compromising, from five full-sized adults to a five-piece band's equipment. Abounded with innovative storage solutions that make life easier, you?re set to load practically anything that comes your way. Nitro gives you a choice of a standard two-wheel drive or an available shift-on-the fly, part-time four-wheel-drive system. And in extreme steering maneuvers, the Electronic Stability Control (ESC) helps you maintain control. ESC senses when a vehicle is starting to spin or plow, and works with traction control and the available Antilock Brake System (ABS) to help correct the Nitro's course.  Mechanically, the Nitro is related to the rather pedestrian Jeep Liberty. It's a unibody design, but the non-independent rear suspension, standard rear-drive configuration and large-displacement engines all point to the platform's truckish roots. Yet the Nitro has a retro look that's all its own, with a high waistline, big wheels and aggressively flared fenders.
