I love my 2005 Nissan Armada LE 5.6L. I bought it new with 4 miles. It is now 2021 and 273,000+ miles later, I love it even more. The best vehicle that I have ever owned and I feel ever made.

The Armada is the best car ever made. Having one for 3 years, it is a vehicle made to do anything and everything. Considering the price, there is nothing like it. Also its definitely a

Child hood flashbacks she is still going strong 150000miles. The Armada is a good mountain bike carrier.

My dad bought a 2010 in 2010 and drove it until 2019 when he relocated to the US. in 2020, he purchased another 2015 armada and is currently driving it just to speak to the satisfaction we had with that truck. Driven it through middle eastern deserts at 130+ f and in Minnesota in sub -30f. All In all, decent truck without the extra bells and whistles of modern trucks that are not functional. Gas hurts but oh wow!

I have a 2007 with 176,xxx miles. Still going strong.

I have a 14 Armada SL and love it. The savings in purchase price more than offsets the minor difference in mileage compared to the Tahoes, Expeditions, etc.. Mine has right at 145k on it, bought it a year ago at 132k. I have done the maintenance on it and done several long trips in it. Of the vehicles I have owned, the only thing that rode and drove better might be my escalade. Even that would be minimally better if at all. It has creature comforts, a great Bose stereo and convenience features. It does not have all the techie stuff other brands do, but it is rock solid. The thing that I notice is its quieter at 145k than domestic vehicles are at half the mileage. No rattles to be found. The engine does not use a bit oil, plenty of power and it is geared for the highway. I think it is about 1850-1900 rpm at 80. The thing is a road beast for road trips. Can't say enough good things about it.

Just bought a 2012 Armada, love it!

The sound of that engine is impressive

I have a 2013 Armada now. I’ve had it for almost 3 years now. It was mechanically beat to hell when I bought it. I made the dealership eat all of the repair costs as they tried to rip me off. After all of it got fixed, it’s been a really nice family vehicle. The rattles in the interior are a little nerve racking and the door seals are needing replaced. It’s a platinum 4wd with only 91,000 miles on it. I will say it is the smoothest power train I’ve ever driven! Good power from the 5.6 V8 and the transmission is butter when shifting. 317hp with 385ft lbs of torque.

Nice review. Good to see nissan get some positivity they deserve. The Armada went on sale in 2004 but was labeled the Pathfinder Armada. Horsepower was bumped from 305 to 317 in 2008 due to VVT being added to the intake side.

I have a 2012 Nissan Armada Platinum. It is Identical to this one. I have had it for around 9 months. I love it! It handles well and has plenty of power when needed. I am sold on Nissans. My wife has an Altima I have my Armada. I would trust either of them to go anywhere no questions asked.

Great overall review of the Armada. I have a 06' Toyota Sequoia 4wd Limited, similar to the Armada in the segment.

i literally have this exact one, its so nice.

The best car ever made. Period.

Went to Kroger in my 05 Ford Escape Hybrid and saw one of these. Noticed something on back hatch. Two way back hatch. Lift up glass hatch. Just like my Escape!

These vehicles will be sought after once all the automakers go to the garbage EVs and hybrid junk.. Mark this comment.

This would be a good purchase for a low or medium income family that can't afford a 40-60 thousand dollar suv

I'm trying to convince my mom to buy a 2014 Nissan Armada SL for more room and towing her alpacas. She wants to pay 35% more for a 2013 Toyota Sequoia with 60,000 more miles on it. How can I get her to change her mind, and not waste money? I'm at a loss. I own a 2011 Xterra Pro-4X w/ leather seats. I wish it had a backup camera or sensors. Other than that, it's the best vehicle I've owned, and I previously owned a 2000 Tacoma TRD, and a 2007 FJ Cruiser TRD.

Looking at a 2011 special edition. One owner in florida , no accidents with 150,000 miles they want $7500 . Worth it ??

Just bought a 2010 platinum. Love it

I recently sold my 2004 Armada. All over plastic pieces started to crack and break. rubber seals at multiple places rotted and replacement for all to just upkeep the looks and integrity of vehicle was not worth fixing. Also has famous exhaust manifold crack issue that WILL happen and not covered by Nissan after emission warranty expires. Brake Booster issue is another drawback. 2004 had brakes from Pathfinder and they were not big enough. I really averaged 10/11 MPG with 4WD. Overall, it served me fine for 170K miles.

Picked up an 07' SE model with tow package and 198k miles at auction for $2650. I hope this doesn't end up being a money pit.

Has 317hp not 305 the armada had 305hp from 04 to 06

I own a 2004 armada.... they started as a pathfinder armada in 2004 and were rebadged in 05 as just the armada. It's the same style as a pathfinder... different chassis

Great truck overall. Too bad Nissan killed the look and styling. And the cargo space. When they released the gen 2 in 2017.

Getting 2012 armada platinum 190,000 miles for 6k. Looks good drives great is this a good deal will it last?

To me a super reliable vehicle

Does it have a first aid kit like the Xterra?

I always thought the side wide body fender resembles the same rear quarter panel from the r32 nissan skyline.

Drove one for about 6 years - pro's bullet proof strong running - steering was great - tough vehicle, never broke down owned it from 70K miles til a lil over 200K, until hit in a minor accident - got the body shop to total it - didn't want to repair due to age and mileage - worth more totaled than resale - Sold for more on co-part than trade - Cons - cam shaft sensors stayed on during whole ownership - could never get them to go off so always had a check engine light on for 6 years - dealer wanted to replace engine for 6K - Blower relay burned out every few months - was always red hot - never could find the issue - heater went out - no one could ever find the issue - Big issues - really bad blind spots - countless times of nearly getting into accidents changing lanes - vehicle was not stable when hitting irregular surfaces and was hard to control - scary on the highway in wet weather - front brake rotors would warp and chatter after about 15K miles like clock work - turned the rotors - happened again with pads still good - 2nd brake job replaced everything - new rotors did the same - car would shake when brakes were gradually applied - common problem from the forums - Replaced the Armada with a GX460 - like the Armada outside styling much better than the Lexus - but the build quality, handling, ride and overall is way above the Armada.

2004-2015 👍🤷‍♀️

Can you do a review and test drive of a 2008 Nissan Quest 3.5 SE minivan next?

It's a great unit in beginning to accessorize it but can someone tell me how much the SE tows and have any of you drive in the snow I have rear wheel drive V8

What is the normal oil gauge level for the armada mine stays a little under the half

Very reliable suv

That note was Induction, not Exhaust

It actually good off road.

They actually made them in 2004. I have a 2004 pathfinder armada

Nice 👍🏾

SE or SV trim?

What is the seatbelt for in the cargo area?

I wonder why I’ve never seen a Armada at the sand sunes

thanks

The armada actually came out in 2004

Can you review a Toyota FJ cruiser?

Back in the day, these are also sold in the Middle East.
