Nissan Armada
The Armada has long been Nissan’s answer to full-size SUVs like the Chevrolet Tahoe and Toyota Sequoia. Motivated by a 5.6-litre V8 engine that delivers 400 horsepower, it makes use of a four-wheel drive system with a two-speed transfer case. Max towing capacity is rated at 8,500 pounds. A Midnight Edition adds a black treatment both inside and out. The top-line Platinum trim is basically on par with the QX80 from Nissan’s luxury brand Infiniti.
