The Dodge Nitro, produced from 2007 to 2011, was a mid-size SUV that offered a blend of rugged looks, capable off-road performance, and practical interior space. It was a departure from the traditional minivan-like design of its predecessors, aiming for a more aggressive and adventurous aesthetic. The Nitro was offered in various trim levels, including the base SXT, the sporty R/T, and the off-road-focused Heat. Powertrain options included a 210-horsepower 2.8L V6 engine or a more potent 260-horsepower 4.0L V6 engine, coupled with either a five-speed automatic or a six-speed manual transmission. The Nitro's suspension was designed for a balance of on-road comfort and off-road capability, featuring independent front suspension and a solid rear axle. While the Nitro lacked the third-row seating option found in some competitors, its spacious cabin provided comfortable seating for five adults. It also offered ample cargo space, making it suitable for both daily commuting and weekend adventures. The Nitro's interior featured a durable and practical design, with a focus on functionality rather than luxury. Despite its overall success, the Nitro's fuel efficiency was criticized, and its rugged design was not always appreciated in a market increasingly focused on fuel-efficient and more refined SUVs. The Nitro was discontinued in 2011, leaving a gap in Dodge's lineup for a rugged, mid-size SUV. The Dodge Nitro Workshop Service Repair Manual provides comprehensive technical information for those who need to maintain, repair, or modify this capable and unique SUV.
