Test drove dodge nitro r/t Pretty nice suv...Tough looking and has alot of cool features....Just seemed alittle cheap...plastic door panels....Def a cool car but not worth 29-30k...The 20 inch wheels are nice and it rode good. It also had plenty of power...I loved the 2 tone seats...But like i said not worth 30k....but def be a good buy for 25-26k

I don't know why you ever liked those dodge nitros, when I 1st saw the commercial I thought they were pretty weak. By 2010 they will be off the market guaranteed.

I had the chance to drive one of them today for work....by far one of the worst vehicles i've driven. Interior is cheap...and claustrophobic. I don't understand how they are worth 30k.....i know we don't pay that, but 30k is outrageous for them.

Just about all of the diesel 2500 trucks average 18-20 mpg. The 2wd diesels get another 2 mpg better than 4x4 also. That goes for Ford, Chevy, Dodge.
Why? Diesels only rev to 3K rpm. 400 hp at 3K rpm is fun, but the 800 ft-lbs torque is even better.
Smaller isn't better, some vehicles have engines that are too small to efficiently pull their weight around. You can pick up slightly used diesel trucks in the mid 20K range all day long. I'd suggest Dodge or GM, I don't care for the 6.0L Ford diesels.
