I'm looking for a clean 2010-2015 Armada that has already had the exhaust manifolds replaced. The guy is right about the naturally aspirated V8's lasting. I've seen many Nissans and Toyotas for sale on the Internet that have 250 to 409 thousand miles! I just retired a 2003 Sequoia due to a rotten frame, which is a shame because the drivetrain was still strong and reliable as the daily sunrise.
Bought one two weeks ago. Platinum all blk for the v8 ending and needing a bigger car for my incoming 3rd baby. Only issue you need is a brake switch just in case since its push to start and to unplug the “smart alternator” module on the negative battery terminal to fully charge the battery. Hoping it gives at least 200k miles! Thanks!
While I love the armada, they are not without faults. The catalytic converters have issues long term but that’s the biggest thing. Also this is far from basic, it’s SL so it’s the top trim
Doesn’t matter if you’re lholding long term but if you don’t like it after two years and want out, the hit is huge. Also means they’re good value to buy a few years old
@shettlock if I bought this vehicle it would be with the intentions of driving it for 20 years. If I was going to flip it in 5 I'd buy something else personally. But the draw to this is the v8 and Trans. Reliability.
Glad I purchased a new 2nd generation Toyota Sequoia TRD Pro employing that bulletproof naturally aspirated 3UR-FE 5.7 liter V-8 engine and reliable 6 speed Aisan transmission in lieu of these stressed out twin turbo V-6s/I-4s.

Congratulations on your new armada

The top trim is a platinum which is almost the same as the infiniti
Correct. I was thinking of the sv and got confused
@ that’s right, but typically SL is considered too trim within Nissan. Some have other models etc but in this case yes
My neighbors bought a 24 Armada last Saturday. They couldn't wait to bring it by to show us and get a look at my F-250.
I don’t know about USA but the depreciation on these is insane in Canada.

Most people don’t care about keeping their cars long enough for the V8 to matter.
That is true. But for those that want a large sure that will last 20 years ....this is it

The third row is awful compared to ford and chevys 3 row suvs. But this is more competitive on price
That V8 has issues with catalyst breaking apart and sending pieces into other parts engine
2004 to 2013 the older gen not the newer ones.
