only a rear wheel model.!

This vehicle was great when living down south, being rear wheel drive only, but moving to the northeast, not so good in snow. These rear wheel only Nitro's are great -- IF you dont have a lot of winter driving to deal with

Affordable Mid Size SUV w/ Character + Muscles

I wanted a low mileage Jeep Grand Cherokee Overland 2011 or 2012 because I read they were the best model years. When I couldn't find that deal I found a jewel of an SUV with 50k miles. The style, visual appeal and performance is just what I needed in a SUV that's also a 4X4. It's hard to believe that Dodge stopped making the Nitro in 2011. Based on its box design and aggressive outward form which is the hallmark of cars designed today but this car was made in 2011 a time when curve designs were in. It drives like a TRUCK SUV and it looks sportier than it feels. The seats don't have a lot of options for adjusting. The color is bold and impressive. It doesn't break the bank if you need a mid size 4X4 SUV with a v6 3.7 liter engine. I wish I had found the same car with a sunroof and power seats but this will due. As with any car I recommend you always by an extended service plan. Just purchased 2 weeks ago (01/2021)

I love my nitro!!

I have a 2011 dodge nitro that I've been driving since 2013 and still going strong in 2020 with 180,000 miles on it. Everything gets old and parts need replaced. God has blessed me with great mechanics. The ONE thing I would say negative is that it does not have cruise control. But it is a vehicle that doesnt operate by computer so you can easily work on it. I've replaced shocks, air compressor, front wheel bearings, etc. I've hit deer and huge pot holes. I named her "Hurley" since I cant afford a Harley, but she is the next best thing to it!

Doge Nitro

Not worth what I have pay for it, has a lot of problems with it. They have u get a warranty on ur vehicle but I can't use it till I owed the vehicle for 30 day's and 1,000 miles. I can't wait for that so now I be have pay out of pocket for something I'm all ready paying for. Makes no xxxx sense!!!!😠

I love this car so much

I'm a Mopar girl from way back, but this is above and beyond the best one I have had yet. It's the perfect size for me, and it drives like a dream

Love the body design and all the features!

I love this car! It runs great and looks great! The only issue is that mine had a leaky luggage rack on the outside that flooded the inside of my car. I don't think this is common though.
