2010 Dodge Nitro SE

Those who enjoy rugged looks, decent value, and a capable vehicle around town will appreciate this 2010 Dodge Nitro. It offers a solid frame, a peppy 3.7-liter engine with a well-regarded transmission, lots of room, a sliding cargo floor, and best-in-class towing capacity. Essentially a carryover from 2009, the Dodge Nitro for 2010 receives several updates that indicate Dodge listens to its customers. Floor mats, a rear dome lamp, an automatic transmission (no more manual tranny), and auto-unlock doors are all standard for ’10. Addressing a common complaint from owners of the ’08 Nitro, the ’10 Nitro lineup offers a re-tuned suspension for better handing as well. Most professional reviewers find the unique, boxy exterior of the Nitro a distinctive presence in the small SUV market. Best-in-class, 5,000-pound towing capability and a throatier engine growl justify the ’10 Nitro’s aggressive looks The engine for the SE trim is a 3.7-liter, SOHC V6 that puts out 210 hp at 5,200 rpm and 235 lb-ft of torque at 4,000 rpm. Also standard with the SE is a four-speed automatic transmission. Four-wheel disc brakes across the line give the Nitro the stopping power it needs when tooling around town. For 2010, the base SE offers such standard comfort and convenience features as a folding front passenger seat for extra-long items, tilt-wheel steering, power windows, door locks, and mirrors, air-conditioning, a center console, a CD/MP3 player with four speakers, and the Sentry Key anti-theft system. Owners of the 2010 Dodge Nitro are, by and large, pleased with the rugged styling and relatively high stance of this small SUV. Its size is found ideal for city driving, and its truck-like frame is appreciated for giving the Nitro a solid feel on the road. It more than satisfies with its cargo space, family-friendly roominess, and overall value. You will be two. Call or click www.samlemandealers.com
