and performance suspension paint. For 2011, select models feature upgraded
interiors with new cloth and leather with premium colored stitching. Detonator
and Shock are now tattooed with Dodge Brand's signature racing stripes.
The Dodge Nitro Heat features 20-in. aluminum wheels, body color grille with
bright billets, sunscreen glass and performance suspension. The quality-proven
