Wonder if TM will do a deal with Dodge and the new Nitro?

[TrepMan]

Been waiting for info on the Nitro, keep reading about it. Its based off the Jeep Liberty so it's a solid little truck, would love a red one to tow my Nitro!! Looks to me a bit of a cross between a Honda Element, Dodge Magnum, H3 and a old Jeep Wagoneer.

Hey Neeley - Hows the new store running? You ever gonna get Rhonda and your sorry butt down here to fish?

Probably not as this vehicle has a 6-cyl engine and can't pull most of TM's lineup.



Trep: That red will actually clash with your boat color; you'll need one that matches your secondary colors--either black or silver. I had to forego a desire for a red F150 because Ford's red clashed with the red on my sled.

Marty - It could pull any of the Nitro's with a 5000lb max capacity, but it will be years away before I get a new tow vehicle! I always wished they would have shown a Chevy Avalanche with a Tracker Avalanche, and now with the Toyota combination whey doesn't they advertize a Tundra pickup towing a 21ft Tundra color matched!!!

I do like the styling more then the liberty. It looks like a pretty neat vehicle overall.



It may be able pull 5k( weight dist hitch needed from what i saw) but there is a big difference between pulling it and pulling it well and safely. Personally i would never buy a uni-body vehicle to tow with. I also dont like short wheelbase vehicles for towing either, been there done that and it can be scary. For me there is no substitute for a full framed rear drive truck with a v8 and a long wheelbase. Yea it may suck more gas but I would rather have the tow vehicle controlling the boat instead of the boat pushing the vehicle around. And i would rather not have to strain it for all its worth to pull that boat either.
