2018 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve *After 1 year of Ownership*

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

Great Video Brother, I appreciate you for taking the time to talk about your Armada. I've had 3 myself, and I've never had any problems with either of them. I'm very excited to be getting my 4th one which is a 2019 Armada SL 4×4 Black w/ the Grey Trim. It's still my Favorite Family SUV. Again, thank you, and have a Blessed Weekend........🙏🏾😷🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾

[@topnineshow]

Nice home back there. And the Armada in my opinion is second only to the land cruiser but easier on your pocket when buying one.

[@angls50]

Love the review. After driving a rental Armada in Arizona I've been eyeing these. I loved the way it drove.

[@vcarbajal14]

I just bought one today. So great review!!!!!

[@BritishB1921]

Very informative, thanks. Just bought one 4 days ago 👍🏻

[@kennethdaigre57]

I had 221000 on my first 2011 Armada. Great engines

[@amosholt2038]

Excellent tutorial! You covered about absolutely everything on this bad boy! I recently went from a suburban to a Armada. I love the armada and what it all has to offer. The only down fall is the gas mileage. Other than that, I love this SUV!

[@Karlkn]

Armada over any GM any day!

[@liuyifei1989]

That's why you see the patrol everywhere in the middle east, Africa and Central, and not Tahoes LOL

[@eddiesgsr]

That's funny I have a Yukon for 5 years nothing but problems and I'm a mechanic can't get a few months without something new breaking. I'm looking at armada and qx80 now. It's sad because when the Yukon works it's such a good drive and I love how they look

[@DeltaRoots]

Thanks I'm getting Armada

[@Karlkn]

@@DeltaRoots Good for You, enjoy!!

[@maurinethelizard6085]

We have a black Platinum (yes it gets super dirty super fast in the winter) and I think unless the Reserve is in Hermosa Blue it doesn't look so good BUT the Reserve's interior is stunning to me.

[@cliffm6566]

Super cute kid😊. Beautiful Armada, really like the mocha leather interior. These are rock solid and incredible value on the 2nd market.

[@tomtalker2000]

Again i agree with you in terms of the styling and the chrome points you pointed out. However, when you start getting up into larger wheels. You start compromising your ride comfort. Larger tires rougher ride that's just standard across the board for any vehicle. So i think the tire size you have for your model is just fine. In fact i know on the Explorer many folks complain about the 20in tires on the Platinum model vs the 18 or 19in on the lower trims which give a smoother ride. Plus, your dealing with a "body on frame" truck with the Armada so bigger tires rougher ride for sure.

[@reneehayden6169]

Thank you for the headlight thing!! was going to ask the dealer to look at them. just got a 2020 love it so far.

[@tomtalker2000]

Great review. I am thinking between a 2018 Ford Explorer Platinum or a 2018 Nissan Armada Platinum. A couple of points, i prefer that they painted your alloy wheels silver. As i don't like the darker chrome on the Platinum Reserve so in my opinion you got lucky there. Also, i prefer just the opposite too you with regards to the styling. I like the front of the 2018 model but i DO NOT like how far the bumper sticks out in the rear. And i feel they should had made it more like the Patrol in that regard. Because of you see the two you'll notice the Patrol is FAR more squared off. And that fact alone may be the proverbial "deal breaker" for me in terms of choosing the Explorer over the Armada. Many car reviewers often talk about how far you have to "lean in" because of how far the rear sticks out.

[@faustogonzalez8397]

I love it , Looks Great Armada !! Thanksfor the video, well done.

[@mustafanajeeb7859]

Good review & perfect Nissan.

[@behsatekici5154]

Thank you for the nice review. Can you please elaborate more on the MPG? Is it really dismal? Thanks again.

[@hertzair1186]

I have the QX80, same engine, I get 19mpg highway. Acceptable especially when you factor in reliability of that engine

[@bernardlilavois3932]

Thanks for going into true detail about the vehicle and your experiences with it. Good insights beyond run of the mile review info

[@tonyslawncare]

Subscribed!! me and my wife have an 07 tahoe but are thinking about upgrading to one of these as its starting to get a bunch of miles on it. I have a Ram 1500 so thinking about getting one of these used with low miles. or a dodge durango im pretty familiar with working on the dodges now both are grea value for the price

[@marlin507]

Alhamdulillah in my experience owning nissan/infiniti, they are more reliable than the toyota/lexus. Especially when you take good care of your Nissan's vehicle with service routine with good oil, good spare parts and so on , in sya Allah they are more-more reliable. 🙂👍

[@g.choppa4448]

Degree in Art design and rules. Thanks I just learned something new. I still think thats a beautifull vehicle.

[@CountryTortoise]

My dad has a '08 Infinity QX56 he got it at like 60k miles and it currently has like 250k+ with no major issues

[@sadasivanvikas7084]

My 2019 Armada SL has almost 62k miles. I like the ride and accessories. Hate the rear bumper . Before buying Armada I have had GMC Yukon for 3yrs as a leases vehicle. Styling wise I prefer the Yukon better.I had 62k on the Yukon when I returned it back to dealer. Armada is more expensive maintenance wise when compared to Yukon. My truck has the 22s and they always mid-aligned the wheels. Also had to change 4 batteries in 62k miles. There was a non recall that Nissan has not made public. My dealer fixed it and charged me $390 to fix it. I called Nissan and had a little fight. They re-embarrassed it back.Gas miles are very bad compared to the Yukon.But ride is smooth and powerful.

[@adalmar9889]

How much miles do you get on full tank?

[@Tnapvrvideo]

Great share! Might I ask do you know if the second seats can be removed along with the rear console that you stated could be removed? We'd prefer to have that entire area flat and free of seats and a console. Many Thanks!

[@kahuma13]

My 2004 armada with 205,000 miles still running strong

[@justinlovette1331]

Across my days of research, the patrol seems to have the same abs tuning for off-roading as a pro 4x, acts like an electric front limited slip differential, and the patrol can come with a rear mechanical locker. Basically just better for off-roading and no auto leveling rear air suspension

[@justinlovette1331]

Not to mention the bumpers on the patrol giving slightly better approach and departure angles off-road plus minor cosmetic differences but the Ti-L is like an SL here

[@mikeriv60]

Armadas are one of rhe best used SUV values on the market.

[@torocars9227]

hows the maintenance and repair cost on all your armadas?

[@texasslingleadsomtingwong8751]

My personal experience, minimal. Ride height sensor , 80000 miles on odometer

[@n.elliott9122]

Nissan patrol diesel is a beast in, in the Philippines. So much fun.

[@lolotus4borderless]

Thank You for sharing ❤️

[@badbarberbick]

Trying to hook up a firestick in my 2017 platinum armada...had to use the "rca" cables ..no hmdi..trying to see the pix,should I go to AUX..How to view..please need help

[@martinespinosa]

The only other option, if you want a 8 cylinder to consume less, is the dreadful AFM or DFM fuel management system that can kill your engine. This engine should be reliable for a long time.

[@deusvult6632]

Dude is really geeking out over his Nissan.

[@anamarialozano2618]

I am looking for a 2018 Nissan Armada candy apple red

[@AngieS_91]

I have the exact same car…I love it!

[@kylewilson4309]

Does the radar cruise control come to a complete stop and then start again when the car in front of you moves again?

[@Gtbie_]

I have that same one I love it same color and everything 😊

[@Josh-hv5ni]

Does this truck have a digital speedometer? Or just traditional speed gauge

[@hosamalsager348]

What do you think about the infinity qx80 compared to this ?

[@hurleylee5754]

I would compare this to the Sequioa bc both follow the same similarities… “outdated interior, bad mpg, etc…”

[@jaycobmelo1904]

Only thing I’d suffer is the mpg but I love the armada

[@kapkap2342]

2018 Nissan Armada Platinum Reserve, 56,800 miles

[@siestakeygirl1000]

Larger wheels makes it harder for older folks to get in. I could not buy Tahoe mom could not get in, but gets in Armada easy.

[@Gtbie_]

I have the same truck looks awesome

[@tomtalker2000]

It's funny you talk about it being "smaller" in terms of driving feel. Because MANY folks and reviewers attribute it to driving like a bus. That isn't so much a problem for me. But i think your the only person who has made that comment about it driving smaller then it is. And parking being easier. The 2018 Ford Explorer is nearly 200in long which is a large SUV in it's own right. But the Armada is nearly a foot longer.

[@ashtoncadwell5345]

First👌🏻✌🏻

[@AutoDetour]

Is that the 3rd vid in a row?!

[@reggieringgoldjr68]

I Subscribed too, thanks again........🤝🏾🇺🇸💪🏾

[@zachreed4984]

After going Toyota, and now Jeep, I think the next SUV will be an Escalade.

[@AutoDetour]

Don’t do it! 😂 Most of the GM products I’ve owned have had interior quality issues. Hopefully that’s changed.

[@bosshova23]

​@@AutoDetour I like your video and great review. I do have a question cuz I'm looking at a 2017 right now Platinum. With the rear entertainment can either child watch what they want on each of the screens or does it have to be the same show or a movie?

[@Matt28NJ]

13mpg??? I don't know if you have a lead foot... but WOW that's bad.

[@brothered615]

I have owned 2 Armadas; 2012 and now a 2018. The 2018 has 79,000 miles on it and in the past 7,000 miles it has required $2,000 in repairs that were fortunately covered under my extended warranty. In all, I have had $3,500 in repairs covered by extended warranty. My 2012 did much better. Sold that to a friend at 85,000 miles and he is still driving it at 135,000.

[@jxx123]

Has battery problems but other then that they are good

[@chiken872]

Good

[@AldermanFredCDavis]

I'm a HUGE fan of Nissan's body on frame vehicles, however, I much preferred the pre-2016 Armada body styling. 4 things REALLY bother me with the Armada: 1). Those front fender vents are ugly AF (to me). 2). That plastic trim/molding around the exterior of the fender/wheel wells makes the vehicle look 'cheap'. Unless you're really diligent about dressing it, it'll fade after about 5 or so years and REALLY look bad. 3). At the Armada's price point, the interior colors are nowhere near as rich/sumptuous looking as Toyota/Lexus'. It's the colors, the quality of the materials, and intangibles. Just not befitting a $60 or $70,000 vehicle. 4). Toyota/Lexus SUV's at this price point offer things like multi-terrain select, locking differentials, downhill assist control, crawl control, etc. Being that the Patrol overseas offers these features, there is absolutely NO reason Nissan can't either offer these features as options and/or make a Pro-4x Armada for the booming off-road market. It does NOT matter at all whether 1% of these will ever venture off the pavement. What DOES matter, is that a segment of people are very willing to pay to appear that they do.

[@Germancog]

Infiniti all are touch screens

[@tomfairbourn6998]

needs 17" wheels

[@eliasperez5168]

Looks like a prado
