Where did the Dodge Nitro get its name, well, here is a little history. Nitro was one heck of an American Gladiator. His long hair, 'roidtastic physique and unmatched ability in the Joust all added up to make him a fan favorite among 1990s TV viewers devoted to watching muscle-bound men and women in spandex roll around in giant metal spheres. Dave Senkow, manager partner of Tunkhannock Auto Mart, remembers when the Dodge Nitro first hit the streets of Wilkes-Barre and Scranton Pennsylvania;
The Nitro, a mid-size SUV from Dodge combines a high belt line and a raised seating position for passengers in a unique and distinctive "boxy" shape to set itself apart from other mid-size SUV's. Some have referred to the raised seating as being theatre style. A seating arrangement designed for the comfort and visibility of its passengers. Travis Haldeman, sales consultant at Tunkhannock Auto Mart, states that customers really enjoy the spacious and open feel to the cabin that such a seating arrangement provides.
The Dodge Nitro comes in both a 4x2 and a 4x4 version, which can be had as Heat, Detonator, or Shock trim. The Shock adds heated front seat, leather trim interior, and power sunroof. Standard safety features include: front airbags, side curtain airbags, active head restraints, traction and stability control with roll-over mitigation, brake assist, and a tire-pressure monitor and ABS.
The Media Center upgrade package adds to the Detonator and Shock trim levels navigation, real-time traffic, a touch screen interface and digital music storage. There is a Towing package available and the Shock features a powerful 260-hp 4.0-liter V6 engine mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.
The 2010 Dodge Nitro shock got macho styling down pat, stop out at Tunkhannock Auto Mart of Tunkhannock Pennsylvania and see the Detonator Yellow Nitro that was just delivered. And make sure you ask for Travis, he has been with Tunkhannock Auto Mart since 2007 and is proud to serve the people of Wilkes-Barre, Scranton, Dickson City and the surrounding area.
