A Nissan Armada PRO4X would sell like hotcakes in the US market.

[electrikoptik]

The Armada is neutered for the American market though. It misses crucial off-roading feature that the overseas Patrol does have like a proper locking rear diff and sway bars that can disconnect for extra suspension travel.

True V8 power no cylinder management system bs.

I really like my 19 Armada I mostly wanted a big SUV that every soccer mom was not already driving. Plus it is made in Japan and the build quality is amazing no rattles or squeaks!

Nismo Patrol in the mideast is awesome. As for the mpg of the vk56 being bad, it brings to mind the old addage - if it's powerful and reliable it won't get good gas mileage; if it's reliable and gets good gas mileage it won't be powerful; if it's powerful and gets good gas mileage it won't be reliable.

Would love to see an Armada Pro-4x Midnight with all the offroad equipment from the Titan. Throw in the Y62 Nismo tuning for 28 more hp.

We have a ‘21 Armada and really enjoying it. It’s been good for road trips and for hauling kids around to sports. The best feature is the V8. It’s powerful and sounds great. Very smooth ride for its size.

You guys should do a video on the older armadas. I have a 08 that has 166k and its awesome. The Armada is very underrated. Ive towed a few cars with mine and it pulls them with no problem. They are pretty reliable too. I took it on a 2000 mile road trip and averaged around 21mpg. Which is exactly the same as I got with a 2019 4Runner. They are also fairly cheap to buy used. Its a great alternative to the GM suvs and the Sequoia.

As someone who just recently cross shopped this Armada/Qx80 against a new Lexus GX, I can say that MPG was not a factor in my buying decision. It was the dealership network. I went to several different dealerships to look at models on the lots and there was a huge difference in professionalism between the staff at Lexus and the staff Nissan/Infiniti. I ended up buying a new GX460 premium. I’m not sure why people in the comments love to celebrate the GX in videos for its old school charm and durable v8 (that only has a center locking differential on most trims) but then shred the Armada for having nearly the exact same qualities. I really liked the Armada/QX and if it weren’t for their terrible/unprofessional employees I probably would have gone with their bigger and more powerful platform.

We have an 05 Armada SE with 310k and an 08 Armada LE with 190k and to this day the are the most used and most reliable cars in our family

[Drewbmw]

They are super underrated trucks. I have had nothing but good experiences from the many I have owned. Both titan & Armada. Wish the Armada came in a pro-4x trim to match my titan 🫡.

More of these guys on the channel, pls!

I almost bought one of these last year. Lots of room and smooth powerful V8. The issue I had, was it fitting in the garage.

We sold our 200 series Landcruiser v8 twin turbo diesel and upgraded to a brand new 22 y62 Nissan patrol and haven’t looked back! Does everything better than the 200 from amount of space inside, road manners, towing heavy weight and the list can go on!! I never liked the pre-face lifted Patrol but love the current facelift look. Only thing I’m unhappy with is the wood grain interior and 8” centre stack icc unit which I am changing to the 12.3” current LHD centre icc unit

For a TLF video you guys are so chilled, relaxed, positive approach… very refreshing …. I think I’m gonna be getting this truck..

[lopeztelloi]

I switched from a GMC to Nissan Armada a long time ago and don't regret a single thing. Started out wth a first gen that was amazing! Got a new one in 2019 and again amazing! Yes, it uses a bit of gas but over the years, I learned how to drive the V8 and get 16.9 MPG combined. It can pull just about anything, roomy, quiet, and versatile. Couldn't ask for more.

We enjoy our '19 Plat Reserve after coming from an '06 QX56 then '12 QX56. Wife liked the interior two-tone of the Armada. And it was way cheaper for way less miles for used ones when compared to the QX80 and very little missing in the Armada.

Your underrated as well kase your doing awesome job love ya champ. I’m so proud of you

These get highly modified here in Australia. Known as the Y62 Patrol here. Dash offload ( youtube ) does heaps of the modifications.

The land cruiser is not dead, it wears a Lexus badge in the US.
