In an automotive world increasingly filled with car-based "crossover" SUVs, the Nissan Armada
stands out with its old-school body-on-frame construction. This rugged
base gives the full-size, eight-passenger SUV respectable off-roading
chops and a towing capacity of up to 9,000 pounds.

First introduced back in 2004, the Armada is getting on a bit in years but is still a good choice for those looking to do large amounts of people or cargo hauling. Nissan
has also kept the big truck fresh with a series of updates throughout
its life span, the most notable of which was a major interior overhaul
in 2008. It replaced the old, garbage-can quality plastics with rich
appointments that wouldn't look out of place in an Infiniti.
As one would expect from its gargantuan exterior dimensions, the Armada
has no shortage of interior acreage. Space in generous for first and
second-row passengers, although the third-row is best suited for
children. Cargo room is 20.0 cubic feet with all three rows in place,
56.7 cubic feet with the third row folded and 97.1 cubic feet with just
the first row seats in the upright position.
