Powertrain Options and Availability
Two engines have been available in Nitros. The 3.7-liter V6 mates with either a six-speed manual or four-speed automatic transmission. R/T models hold a 4.0-liter V6 that generates 255 horsepower, teamed with a five-speed automatic. Manual-shift Nitros could have part-time four-wheel drive rather than the standard rear-drive. Automatic-transmission models may be equipped with all-wheel drive.
