2008 Dodge Nitro

The 2008 Dodge Nitro continues delivering on what has made it an instant hit with consumers since its introduction last year. The famed “Load ‘N’ Go” technology, allowing users to extend the floor through the rear hatch up to 18” to provide much easier access to loading up the Nitro.

The engine choices remain the same, either a 3.7L V-6 with 210HP and 235FTLB of torque or the powerful and economical 4.0L V-6 with 255HP and 275FTLB of torque. The base model can be mated to either a 4-speed automatic or a 6-speed manual transmission while the two higher-end models come with a standard 5-speed automatic transmission.

The 2008 Dodge Nitro gives the consumer the option of a rear-wheel-drive or a partial all-wheel-drive powertrain with 109” wheel-base tires; affording driver’s added safety and security for all types of terrain and seasons.
