Stumbled on a Nissan Armada with 81k miles good condition today, 1 owner Florida vehicle for 28k.
What is the general concensus on these vehicles?
Any major problems I would anticipate?
Anyone with towing experience with this?
Up until now, my search has been for a Denali, Suburban, but with the engine problems in post 2006 and the transmission problems with the 8 speed, I was hesitant to consider, plus these are still expensive 40k to 50k.
New Armadas are also expensive, so 4 years old with 81k for 28k seemed like something to consider.
They say they have a tow capacity of up to 8500lbs. If that is realistic, it is right where I need to be.
This would be our DD, replacing the 99 Expedition and tow vehicle, replacing to 0'3 Suburban which would remain my work vehicle. Up until now, I have towed with my 03 Suburban, which was good, right at the threshold of comfortable in the mountains, no problem on the highway.
Plan B was an '04 2500 Suburban that needs work as a dedicated tow vehicle and a new Murano or similar as the DD. My wife loved the Armada and the bigger SUV feel.
