LOADED WITH ADRENALINE. Pop the hood on Nitro SE or SLT and you’ll find a powerful 3.7-liter SOHC V6 engine itching to unleash its 210 horsepower and 235 lb-ft of torque. This
stampede of power is linked to a four-speed automatic transmission. Nitro R/T ups the intensity through a 4.0-liter V6 with 260 horsepower, 265 lb-ft of torque, and a highly
refined five-speed automatic transmission.
SUSPENSIONS. A hardy sport suspension transfers the perfect blend of handling and control to the pavement through either 16- or 17-inch wheels. A performance-tuned suspension
works in tandem with class
[1]
-exclusive 20-inch chrome-clad wheels and tires for improved cornering and increased traction (standard on R/T, available on SLT).
TWO-WHEEL-DRIVE/FOUR-WHEEL-DRIVE SYSTEMS. Nitro has the most available powertrain combinations in its class
[1]
and lets you choose between standard two-wheel drive or an
available four-wheel-drive configuration. On 4x4 models, the part-time system offers the ability to change from 2WD to 4WD on the fly.
