i am looking into buying a nitro. does anybody know how they are or if they heard any bad reviews on this truck. thanks.

 

I am probably going to get one as a company car. It will replace a Jeep Liberty. Actually the Nitro is a Liberty with a slightly different suit. The wheelbase is 4 in longer as well as the total length but the Jeep has an external spare on the rear while the Nitro's is under the rear.

The Nitro is also roughly 2 inches lower. All said almost all interior dimensions are within an inch of each other (don't understand how this happened with the 4 in stretch of the wheelbase).

The Liberty has been an exceptionally good vehicle with no problems in 4 years.

The Nitro's powertrain is the same as the liberty (3.7L) One difference is that the Nitro has an RT version that bumps the 3.7 for a 4.0 (210 HP vs 255 HP) and replaces the 4 speed auto for a 5 speed).

 

My secretary just got one and likes it better than the Mercedes M class she traded in.

Limited edition with 4.0 liter engine and 20" wheels is the way to go if it fits your budget. Very sharp vehicle with unique features.

 

I have never driven one of those but the commercials are definitely catchy. As a matter of fact all jeep/nitro commercials are catchy.

 

They're really good for when someone takes two parking spaces.
