Purchased this suv with 60000 miles on it, one owner. Currently has 140,000 miles and no major issues! It has been absolutely fantastic with upkeep (just brakes, oil changes and other routine maintenance). Nitro gets great gas mileage for an SUV (avg around 22mi/gallon combined city/hwy & I live in the mountains). Great snow driving vehicle, though I would prefer a 4-low option on the all wheel drive (it just offers 4 high). Biggest downfall was the radio, which stopped working after one year (easy to replace with aftermarket radio & speakers are still great), the cheaper plastic interior pieces which have taken quite a beating from my dogs (scratches, scuffs etc), and the low front end clearance due to plastic bumper, which really limits off road capabilities. Overall, it's been a great vehicle and we're looking to add a second one to our family!

As you know if you own a vehicle 10 years or more from new status then you basically got your return on your investment. i will tell you that the DODGE NITRO 2008 gave me that experience. I purchase the car brand new in 2008 from a dealer and basically i kept up with all the maintenance every 3000 miles per the handbook and i will tell you that vehicle has performed. it has pick up speed and it has only after 10 years finally a service engine light come on which was a $385 fix of an fuel injector. If you keep the maintenance up per the manual this SUV will be a true jeep engine. The only item i must complain about is the rust level on the back door. i kept washing the car thru the years weekly but somehow i got rust building up on the front grill and back door of the SUV and this cost i have not yet to take which $1500 to fix in a body shop. so if they come up with aluminum frame and body type and use the same engine it will be a hit. i used this SUV for 8 years and then gave to my son at 18 years of age who has used it for 2 more years and it is still going strong except of the rust. It still gets 22 miles per gallon and still has great pick up on the highway and is an SUV so in the snow and rain the tires do great!

I recently purchased a Dodge Nitro and so far I love it. It's MPG isn't great but it is a SUV, what do you expect? The look is awesome, great interior space, so many features, smooth and quiet ride, fun to drive. It can comfortably seat big men. The interior material is perfectly fine. For the price, it is worth every penny in my opinion.

This has been a good dependable vehicle, just could use more horse power, slow when you need to merge into traffic. The rear suspension is stiff giving it a harsh ride. Excellent in snow or wet weather and that boxey design allows for a lot of rear storage.

The towing is amazing. I tow a big camper and a horse trailer, neither sinks the suspension. Power, ride, and handling are all good. I have had nothing fixed as of yet. A rock solid vehicle for smaller people. My only complaint is I am a bigger guy and the seat is just to high, steering wheel is to low.
