Miles Overview
The Nitro is Dodge's boxy mid-size SUV, a truck-based hauler that's easy to spot in a parking lot. It drives like a truck, with a stiff ride and body-on-frame feel that's fine for hauling but not for smooth pavement. The cabin is roomy with comfortable seats, and the front passenger seat folds flat to carry long items inside. Owners mention the exterior plastic fading and coming loose, plus some electrical gremlins like a lightning bolt light that can keep it from starting. Rear-wheel drive and the standard 3.7L V6 mark the SXT as the entry-level Nitro, sitting below the SLT and R/T. The 3.7L V6 and rear-wheel drive give the SXT adequate power around town, though it works harder on the highway than a V8 would. The SXT can be ordered with 4WD if you need extra traction in snow and mud, which is the main upgrade from the base setup.
