2007 Dodge Nitro SLT
« on: June 10, 2009, 01:05:52 am »
Anyone here know anything about the Nitro SLT.  My mom is considering one here locally and i dont know hardly crap about them.  If anyone has any info on them please fill me in.

Heres a link to the Nitro shes looking at

Maybe someone (David) can run the VIN and figure out all or any recalls/TSBs etc. Basically possibly do a "background check" on the vehicle for my mother.  Possibly a Carfax??

7 Carfax is not necessarily a bad thing.

My truck had somewhere around that #, but it's because it was a private vehicle, traded, transferred to another dealer, then a dealer vehicle and had a few dealer services.

My truck was top notch when I got it!

Yep - reading the report makes it look much more attractive!

Looks like it was a lease, and then changed hands at auction, and probably still has just over 20K miles on it

There's a guy at work that has a 4 cyl version

He likes it, but says it's underpowered

Looks nice - I have no idea if that's a good price or not though...

well, i was hoping to get my mom to look at the R/T for the new bigger motor and trans, along with the nicer styling, but she wouldnt do it.  Oh well!  Its not bad for what it is, her malibu she had prior was quicker though.

My wife's 08 Nitro is nice but the 3.7L is a bit under powered in the hills of WA, ID, MT, WY even with it being a 6 speed manual trans. Other then that it rides real nice and handles well.
