2009 Dodge Nitro
Dodge retunes its Nitro midsize SUV for 2009 for a more pleasant driving experience. The rear axle shafts are stiffer and the suspension is revised for better handling, according to Dodge. The company also says retuned steering gear improves responsiveness, while a retuned brake booster, new low-rollback calipers, and a revised brake pedal ratio improve brake pedal feel. In other news, the manual transmission is dropped, the base SXT model is now called SE, and Dodge has shuffled equipment in the various packages. Like other Dodge models, the MyGIG hard-drive radio is now called UConnect Tunes and UConnect GPS when ordered with a navigation system. Its hard drive is also bigger, with 30 gigabytes of memory versus 20 gigs last year.
