The Nissan Armada (formerly called the Pathfinder Armada) is Nissan's full-size sport utility vehicle. It shares its body-on-frame F-Alpha platform with the Nissan Titan pickup truck, Nissan Xterra SUV, Nissan Frontier pickup truck, and Nissan Pathfinder SUV. An upscale version of the Armada is sold as the Infiniti QX56. All Armadas are currently built in Canton, Mississippi.

The Armada has a 5.6 L 317 hp (227 kW) VK56DE V8 engine, a 5-speed automatic transmission, and a choice of rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The Armada was designed for North America and introduced for the 2004 model year. The switch to the Armada name was made in 2005, where it got new badges.

It has a towing capacity of 9,100 lbs.

It is a great 8 passenger sport utility vehicle leading the maket for full size SUV's in reliability, performance, and highest resale value.

This was a good experience. I saw pictures of the car and it looked good. I did not know what to expect, but took a chance. I flew in saturday moring to houston, the dealer had a driver picking us up, my wife and i as well as 2 other guys, one of them ending up buying an escalade. I drove the car and the engine was good, inside and out, I had no complaints. I paid them, signed documents, took the car and drove from houston to dallas, some 300 miles on a full tank. Everybody is loving this car. I really don't have a lot that I dislike about this car because before buyiing it, I fully researched all that was needed about Armada and this car in particular.
I am one happy customer...

My Husband and I rented a Nissan Armada a year ago and we fell in love with it. My van was totaled and I knew exactly what I was going to get, an Armada! I found and bought my Armada and have never regretted it. We had the dark red (Red Brawn) Armada and parked it next to the dark red Z-71 Suburban we were looking at. We were surprised to find out that the Armada was almost as long as the Suburban, it doesn't look it. The Armada had more leg space in the second row and a little less in the third row over the Suburban. The Armada does not have that hump in the passenger side floor board that the Suburban has. I LOVE the interior in the Armada. Lots of buttons to push! The Armada is easier to load the kids into the backseats compared to the Suburban because you have on handle to pull whereas with the Suburban you have to pull the seat cushion up and then fold the seat back. Back up sensors are standard on the Armada (the Suburban we were looking at had them but is not standard on them). The Armada had A LOT of get up and go. I mean it is really FAST! The down side to this is that it makes the Armada very hungry for the gas and boy does it like it. We get about about 11-12 miles per gallon but luckily I dont drive very much at all.
Driving the Armada is a treat. I prefer the drive of a 4wd vehicle over a 2wd. I like the stiffer handling. Sitting in the Armada to me is like sitting in a car but just sitting higher up with more space. The Armada's 9100 lbs of towing capability is a plus as my Husband's family has a farm and it is not uncommon to need to pull a trailer. The Armada does this with ease.
I have at times had 3 large carseats in the center row of the Armada and there is actually a little room to spare in between them! I have had my Husband, my 8 year old, 4 year old, 3 year old twins, my golden retriever and pit bull in the Armada and there is plenty of room for all of us and all of my kids stuff.
So my recommendation is if you have the need or want for this Beast than you will be more than pleased with your purchase! The Nissan quality is definitely in shown in the Armada! Oh, I have read that the 04 Pathfinder Armadas had a lot of bugs (common for first year production vehicles) the bugs were worked out in 05.
