The Dodge Nitro is an SUV from the Dodge division of DaimlerChrysler . Launched for the 2007 model year (at the same time as its competitor, the Ford Edge ) at the Chicago Auto Show , the Nitro shares its platform with the Jeep Liberty . It will be assembled at the Toledo North Assembly Plant in Toledo, Ohio . This Jeep facility is part of a complex including the Toledo South Assembly Plant , home to the Jeep Wrangler since the 1940s . The Nitro will be priced below US$ 20,000 on introduction, and will be one of the first modern Dodge-branded cars to be sold in Europe. All Nitros will be available with Rear Wheel Drive , and All Wheel Drive will be optional. Dodge will tout the car's "Load 'N Go" sliding cargo floor as a major selling feature. Similar to a system offered on the Saab 9-5 station wagon, the floor can be extended through the rear hatch by 18 in (457 mm) to ease loading. MODELS The Nitro is available in three trim levels: SXT, ''SLT'', and ''R/T''. Two V6 engines are available at launch, including a New-generation 4.0 L Engine expected to replace the OHV V6 across much of Chrysler's line. A 3.7 L '' PowerTech '' V6 is also available.
