2011 Dodge Nitro
The blocky Dodge Nitro has broad-shouldered styling that is intended to appeal to a macho clientele. A standard 210-bhp 3.7L V-6 is only available in the base model. Most models are powered by a 4.0l V6 paired with a 5-speed automatic. Both RWD and permanent 4WD models are offered. Trim levels were realigned in 2010 to Heat, Detonator, and Shock. Twenty inch wheels are standard on all models.
What's New
In mid-2010, the Nitro's trim levels were changed to Heat, Detonator and Shock. For 2011, Dodge adds Heat 4.0 offering the base trim level with the upgraded 4.0l V6.
