Hey bro you Nitro is built on the JEEP LIBERTY platform, which means your nitro is a jeep! I love how people go out and buy the first of a new model and never expect to have a problem, Remember 96 NIssan pathfinders???, the will have bugs worked out of the new Grand Cherokees soon enough, I work at a Jeep dealer and haven't seen but a few issues with Grand Cherokees.
Jeep "should" be better than Nitro off roading, buuuuut, in my case I buy a 2011 for 22995 (price in Puerto Rico) 2wd compare with the Jeep GC cost of 32,000 grand 2wd, not bad for this black Nitro performance off road on grasp.
We Have Had The Jeep For About a Year, I Like The Vehicle, But , Also ,,,, I Deal With Reality, I Do Not Want To Bust Anyone's Bubble About The Jeep, But, There Are Problems .. GOOGLE --(2011 Jeep grand cherokee electronic shut down problems) We Are Having Some Of These Problems.... The Jeep Is At The Dealers Now ,,, & They Are Trying To Figure Out What The Existing Problems Is .. Electrical & Electronic Wise, ( NOTHING WORKS ) ! ! ! ! TOTAL SHUT DOWN ! ! ! !
Offroading? I could do this in my Speed3. Don't hate getting an '11 4wd 3.7 for the wife for an amazing 20990. Can't ignore the smooth quiet ride and the room for stuff for that price. Trading a Focus SES.
ive had/have both and unless your gonna go off-road or drive it to nascar its apples and oranges, i like the nitro after having driven the jeep for 15 years..both have good features...
okay your laredo couldn't pass a grass trial??? seriously? plus you shouldn't drive an automatic using both feet(1 in breaks) i could see it happened to the driver.(Nitro)
Dodge Nitro's Transmission has the same HEMI* Transmission as the 300C Chrysler and Grand Cherokee Limited.
Something that the Nitro has apart from the ABS is a sensor anti collision plus stabilizer... if you take your nitro into a corner in fast speed, u probably slide but nitro will not let it happen... :) Love it!
guys overall is the nitro a reliable car if i buy it bnew?

Both Vehicles Have Their Finer Points. The Jeep Is More Comfortable For Traveling.
The Jeep Belongs To My Wife, The Nitro is Mine. What I Like About The Nitro , is ,
When You Go To 4 W Drive , You Are Seriously In 4 W Drive... I Use It To Go Where
No Man Has Gone Before...The Last Problem We Had With The Jeep Was The
Electronic ignition,,, Complete Shut Down ...All The Nitro Wants Is A Little TLC ? & To Be USED & Abused OFF ROAD ! ! ? ? Take It To The Limit ! ! !

Watching this video I realized you belong in a Nitro. You don't seem to know how to operate a Jeep.

@tuko829 I Agree, After Having Driven 4X4's For 30 Years, I Probably Still Need More
Experance, But , After Having Driven The Jeep For A Year , I Can State, ( WITH REGRET ) , That There Are Issues With The JEEP ! ! !
I Have Experanced Some of These Personally.
Especially The No Start Problem.
Google-2011 Jeep grand cherokee No start Problems-
When The Vehicle Refuses To Start For No Apparent Reason ? Or,
You Cannot Even Get Into The Vehicle, That is a Problem ?

No Real Point To Be Taken.The NITRO Has Larger, Wider Tires / Wheels,
Stronger Motor. Different Type Transmission/Gear Ratio,etc.
Also Gets Less Gas Milage Per Gal. etc..
The JEEP Has a More Versital Transmission/ More Selections For OFF Road Conditions.
At The " Same Point " Comming Up The Hill,, After Stopping,,
The JEEP Lost Traction & Spun, The NITRO Did Not Loose Traction/ Did Not Spin..The Jeep Is A Far More Comfortable Vehicle For
Traveling, etc.Better Gas Milage.Cost More

@ArapahoChoctaw The Nitro DOES NOT have a stronger engine. It may have a LARGER engine, but not stronger.
