What is the 2007 Dodge Nitro towing capacity?

My neighbor has a used 2007 Dodge Nitro for sale and it only has 60,000 miles. I’m definitely interested, but only if it has the power to tow my boat to the lake. How much can the Dodge Nitro tow?

With a name like Nitro, you’d automatically assume it’s a towing machine. And the good news is that the 2007
Dodge Nitro
towing capacity is 3,500 pounds. If your neighbor equipped it with the optional Trailer Tow Package, this amount increases to 5,000 pounds. With this towing capacity, you should have no problem towing a boat.
If your neighbor didn’t equip his Nitro with the tow package but you still want it, OEM (original equipment manufacturer) parts or aftermarket parts from other vendors are available on Amazon or other websites.
Behind the 2007 Dodge Nitro’s towing power is either a 3.7-liter V6 that makes 210 horsepower or a 4.0-liter V6 that produces 260 horsepower. Either way, you should have enough power to tow without going at a sluggish pace.
