On road driving will be 99.999% of my driving. That is why I was questioning just having RWD. The part time 4wd is not much of a benefit for me so I am glad to see the Nitro brochure showing full time 4wd for the SLT and R/T. Dodge needs to update their website.
 
I am surprised your R/T is still in order mode. I have seen a number of R/T's in the dealers inventory on line in the Baltimore/Washington area. The Fitzmall site still does not have the R/T's but the 28 other Nitro's are offered at $1000 to $1500 off MSRP.

Incidentally, that translates to 1 mile offroad for every 100,000 miles driven. Thought you'd like to know.

Since I have 145,000 on my '99 Dodge Minivan and I have not had it off road except for the few feet I drove on the shoulder of an Interstate, I may have understated the percent!
 
Not having driven a vehicle with a drivetrain other than RWD and FWD is one reason I don't know that much about the pros and cons of 4WD part time, 4WD full time or AWD. With an offering of a variety of drivetrains on the Nitro and other car/truck vehicles, I am interested in determining if the costs will match the benefits for me.
 
The link provided by linderman was very helpful
Read what this pro has to say about it:

Is there an active forum on drivetrains?

If you are interested in 4WD/AWD, try the 4WD & AWD systems explained discussion. There's also FWD, AWD, RWD and the Luxury Performance Sedans that should have some points of interest.

Your link didn't work for me but I was able to go to myspace.com and then search for Nitro. The first 10 friends to pop up were guys though, and not much farther down the list was a caricature of Dr. Z!

Full Time 4WD option available? by rockfish1

Anybody know when the full time 4wd option will be available. The Nitro brochure indicates late availability but I heard some other people saying it may not be around till the 2008 model.

Mmmmmmm.....I'm not entirely sure. I'm a huge Nitro fan. I think that this car is great! I'll do a little investigating post back with an answer for you assuming I can find it!
