Full Description: The 2007 Dodge Nitro is an all new mid-size SUV. Dodge redesigned the full-size Durango in 2004 and since then has been planning the Nitro which is 22 inches shorter. There are many mid-size SUVs out there and Dodge wanted the Nitro to be distinctive in order to keep up its reputation for bold styling. The result is a very squared-off vehicle with exaggerated fender flares. The Nitro looks and feels larger than its size with a high seating position that SUV owners like and good cabin space. It features Load 'n' Go a cargo storage system whereby the rear seats and front passenger seat fold totally flat in seconds; additionally the cargo floor slides rearward out over the rear bumper and can hold 400 pounds making the loading of heavy objects much easier. It could prevent back injuries.The Nitro comes in either two-wheel drive or four-wheel drive with a choice of V6 engines one old and one new. The new 4.0-liter V6 is better than the old 3.7-liter with 50 more horsepower and fuel economy that's only one or two miles per gallon less. However the 4.0-liter engine only comes in the top-of-the-line R/T model which costs about $2700 more than the most popular SLT. But a five-speed automatic also comes with the R/T and that transmission too is better than the standard four-speed in the SLT. The R/T has a more comfortable ride as well.There are three types of upholstery: basic cloth a handsome stain-repellant cloth and beautiful perforated leather.
