Cons

Don

I bought my new Nitro (black color) in February 2008 in Costa Rica. It has a diesel engine of 2.8cc. Truly I am satisfied with this vehicle. It has an excellent yield, it is very stable in our highways (that are very bad) and its appearance is impressive. I believe that the inner space is sufficient for our needs....read morehide

Pros

Rides good, Looks are the Bomb, Ram in your face design.

Cons

Have to get use to small tank and MPG

I'm a company man and I buy what I build, this SUV sold me when I 1st saw it. Nice styling and Ram tough looks. Make sure u get the right wheels for this because the bigger rims make this SUV ride a little rougher, so I got the smaller ones. Dealer order basic model but put on an SXT look full body color molding, automatic rides good.
I just have to get use to the smaller tank 19g, use to a Dodge Dakota with a 22g tank, so when driving that neede moves a lot faster....read morehide

Pros

exterior/interior styling,

Cons

bouncey on highway, stuttered shift at times, gas mileage

This SUV does not have a smooth ride. From the drivers seat visibility is actually good despite the cut off windows. Does not compare to other SUV in this class

Pros

Looks, I like the heated leather seats, it's fun to drive, right size for 2.

Cons

Can't find anything to say bad about it.

I traded off a midsize sports type car with two giant doors. I have an older van for fishing and I liked the way I got into the nitro, sort of van like, you don't have to sit down into the vehicle. Its high enough that your not driving off the ground. I liked the size, married but this is mainly my daily driver, I didn't need a six or 8 passenger rig that gave less than 15 mpg. I average about 17 mpg in town and about 22 mpg on the highway with the 3.7 I hear complaints about the pep of the engine, its just fine, I gave upa powerful 3.7 V6 for this tamer 3.7, but its okay, I don't need to be speeding anyway. Very happy with the looks of the Nitro, inside and outside. I got the G package, so its a step up from the standard SLT 4x4. It worked wonderfully this winter, handled snow just fine. I'm a happy camper........read morehide
