2007-2012

The Dodge Nitro, produced from 2007 to 2012, was a compact SUV designed to offer a bold and rugged appearance. With its distinctive squared-off styling, aggressive front grille, and prominent fender flares, the Nitro had a muscular and adventurous look. It was available in rear and four-wheel drive configurations, appealing to many drivers who wanted a versatile and stylish SUV. Inside, the Nitro offered a comfortable and functional interior with seating for five passengers. Its cargo area was enhanced by a unique Load ‘N Go sliding cargo floor, making loading and unloading items easier. While the Nitro had a bold presence on the road, its production was relatively short-lived and eventually discontinued. Nevertheless, it left an impression as a rugged and distinctive SUV in Dodge’s lineup during its time on the market.
