Great review. Love our 2019 Armada and a noticeable upgrade from our 2017 Pathfinder. Thank god for no more CVT. Im actually pretty happy with the gas mileage. Were at 15. 5mpg and its mainly local driving (avg 30mph. Highly recommend going straight to SL or platinum trim. We went with 4WD SV with the upgraded drivers package (pwr liftgate, pwr 3rd row, fog lights, etc) but not having leather really takes away from the overall appeal of the interior - even with the faux wood grain present on the base model.

i would go with the dodge as well from this group. i lost all interest in nissan when they had that french guy from Renault run things and made the cars cheaper in quality and the headlights super easy to steal by removing 1 screw from each from the outside. i know they corrected that stuff but its something i i wont forget, i was on my 2nd nissan when that stuff happened and i remember every time i park i always see people walking up to my car and looking at my headlights.

After driving a rental Armada for a 2 weeks I love it. Ride quality, quietness, refinement and power. Gas mileage wasnt great but thats expected, thankfully it was mainly highway miles. Everyone saying its ugly and outdated are fools. Many of the supposed new cars you are buying are just slightly modded chassis of its previous generation and some new electronic gadgets with a new shell. Thats it. Oh, and a few extra ponies under the hood for decent measure.

Theres a new Patrol and Armada coming out soon, so if you get this SUV expect to see a brand new one soon. Resale values wont be as good as Toyota SUVs like the Land Cruiser and the Sequoia. I heard the Sequoia will be discontinued soon, however, so that might not be a good investment. Theres a rumor Toyota will offer a more stripped down Land Cruiser in the USDM. The Armada will be replaced soon, so keep that in mind.

2019 Nissan Nv 3500 Passenger van is the better value with the same drivetrain, just detuned a tad bit. More storage if you remove some of the unnecessary seats, tows more, same grill type look. Yes i know its a passenger Van and not a 4wd suv. But there are aftermarket conversion companies that can turn that beast into 4x4. And nissan offers a 5 yr/100, 000 mile warranty on the van. Not sure what they offer on the Armada.

The 2nd gen Armada/QX56/QX80 are far more reliable than the 1st generation that was built in Mississippi (basically a Titan 3 row SUV) and are also exclusively all built in Japan. The VK56 Endurance V8 and the 7 speed automatic are more reliable than the older 5 speed auto on the last generation F-Alpha platform vehicle. I am shocked that the Armada only gets 14 combined when its rated at 17 mpg combined for the 4WD model.

Its a good value until you realize its a Nissan. Id personally opt for the new Kia Telluride or Hyundai Palisade. I know those arent quite as massive and have a large V6 instead of a V8, but the interiors of both make the Armadas interior look extremely dated and crude, plus long-term reliability will likely be better and that awesomely long Kia/Hyundai warranty should you need it.

Its just ashamed James, Alex is too big now, He went from climbing into a trunk to Cant even be bothered to show five seconds of film how the seats Folded flat or at angel or a lip from back seat etc etc. The whole Reason that Hatch backs an Suvs exist. he use to even show how some rear cargo area were laid out better than some Nissan Rouge for example. instead of 0-60 times.

This car wont sell well, just as the previous version did not. Too much competition that just does it better, and is better-known in North America. Had they kept all the off-road prowess, they might have appealed to that crowd, that doesnt want to shell out 90k for a Land Cruiser, but as is, its pointless. The Sequoia doesnt sell either, and for the same reasons.

Thanks for yet another detailed and meticulous video Alex. It is truly a joy to watch your well researched content accompanied by a high quality video and production. One quick note however is starting at 17: 55 for a few seconds which may need a re-edit. Looking forward to your next production and keep up the good work.
