We have an Armada Platinum and absolutely love it. On a recent trip from Texas to Colorado, somewhere in New Mexico I happened to look at the speedometer and I was running 95. It felt like we were doing 60. These things absolutely cruise on the highway. Also, towing capacity is great and they do okay for light off roading. Definitely one of the most underrated Suvs on the road.

We have the 22 Platinum & so far, we love it. Keep in mind we don’t care 2 rat turds about fuel economy, we are a truck couple. I drive a HD for large trailer towing & my better half drives the Ute & tows the boat. We, in fact, like the front seats although it took a bit to get used to them. I don’t however like that my right knee rests on the center council which bugs the crap out of me. I do agree however, that the arm rest could be taller. Build quality is really good & purchase price was outstanding with all incentives. Don’t care much about resale as we are retired & may have it for awhile.

I have a 2020 Infiniti QX80 …which is the Armada that went to grad school….very happy with it.

It's the best secondhand buy by far. Most people buy these secondhand coz of the price. They depreciate like crazy. I'm not sure how they sell new ones!

It is more plush than a plastic yukon or tahoe. Very nice soft touch everywhere

Glad I'm 5'9".

AKA bullet proof. Love that Endurance engine and the drivetrain.

Perfect for my 5 foot 6 stature

The GM has a V8 WITH DOD displacement on demand, Ford have V6 turbo that's why I Picked the Armada.

Strange, I wonder if they're different seats in the US, as mine's like sitting in a lazyboy. It's magnificent and with height and angle adjustment. The angle adjustment makes it feel deeper surprisingly. At least that's for the driver, as I don't think passengers have as many options.

I have to agree about the driver seating position. It feels cramped slightly. Even on the passenger side, it seems like the leg room is limited. That would be my only complaint. Other than that, the vehicle feels very solid and refined. Plus, they are all built in Japan.

If it had a Locker and drive modes it would be the Land Cruiser replacement

The Nissan Aramda is the Y62 global Nissna Platform. In other countries its called a Patrol and has hydrualic suspension , push button reear locker, extendef fuel tank. It has been decontented a bit for the US because a 90,000 dollar armada would have been unsellable. But in return we in the US we get the most affordable Y62 on the planet.

It is my understanding that the rear center console is removable

Test drove one. Agree that the driving position is super awkward. Both the driver and passenger sit way too high. Makes you feel like you are floating in the seats.

I'm hearing a V6 turbo is on the way.

Yeah, a 5.6 liter engine in the Z will absolutely ruin that car, lol. Nice call. As for the ride comfort... It's not in the wheel size, it's in the sidewall height. The rear leveler does not aid in the ride comfort whatsoever. It's only purpose is to level the rear when the tongue is loaded. The ride comfort is in the sidewall and the suspension.

Wish they had a supercharger for it

I feel like everything now a days is “off-road this and off-road that” when in reality most people will never see a gravel driveway. How does it do in the snow and rain? This truck is damn near perfect. Rides like a dream and tows 8500 pounds. Think If ford put the coyote in an expedition? Then look at the TRD PRO seqoiua. It has no ground clearance compared to the wheelbase. That this is terrible off road. You know who buys that truck?, douche bags, that’s who. It’s amazing what people buy just to impress everyone they don’t know.

I have a 2020 Armada Platinum. The only reason I ever drive off-road is to get somewhere that isn't paved -- which is rare -- and in reality, I don't use the 4x4 for that very often. However, I do ski, and so far, the Armada has done just fine in the snow. I was cross-shopping a used Lexus GX460, which drove a little better, but just didn't have the room the Armada has -- especially in the 3rd row.

MPG is killer deadly... Yes its cheaper but your paying twice the gas per month. Keep this in mind.

Really? Unlike Mercedes, Toyota and BMW, GM and just about everyone else Nissan has NEVER made a problematic 6 cyl or 8 cyl engine. Even the 4 cylinders are great. .They often outperfom competitors in many parameters. it is just most reviewers are blinded by the huge marketing departments of its competitors. Nissan spends the least money on advertising.
