2024 Nissan Armada.. Dealers Can't Get Rid Of It?

The biggest update for the 2024 Nissan Armada is the lack of a Base S trim level. The SV has now taken the Base model spot so the buy-in price of a new Armada increases for 2024. However, there seems to be some great deals on 2023 model years. See my 2023 Honda Pilot vs Nissan Pathfinder video here: • 2023 Honda Pilot vs Ni...

I paid 57,500 for my 2021 Armada SL (they weren't offering great deals back then), and I really love this vehicle. It tows my boat effortlessly, gets decent gas mileage on the highway and after 32000 miles, no issues so far. If you can pick up an Armada for under $50,000 with four wheel drive, then it is a no-brainer. Even though they had an issue with the engine in 2017 (even Toyota engines can have issues in some model years), the Endurance V8 engine is still one of the best engines ever made. Also, the vehicle is a twin brother of the Nissan Patrol and it is built in Japan. Driving my Armada, you can feel the quality inside and outside. My last advice is to buy the vehicle now, before it gets a re-design for the 2025 year, because they are now installing Twin Turbo V6 engine and it probably will not be as reliable as the V8 (just ask Scotty Kilmer on You Tube).

[@SprakanaKerum]

What I got from Scotty was naturally aspirated V8s are better than turbocharged V6s because of the extra heat and resulting engine parts stress. Seems to make sense.

[@SlavaUkraini85]

had this as a rental, I loved the V8 power and smoothness. Just amazing. Had 20mpg. Just the fuel tank seems to be small

[@SprakanaKerum]

Wow that's incredible fuel economy for an SUV this size. Were you driving alone most of the time or towing something heavy?

[@jayjay3195]

Being a Dealer i see these at the Auctions all the time with either Cylinder 7 issues or Timing Chain and Direct injection pump issues. I had a 2016 Qx80 as my personal truck and when it started giving those above issues i immediately got rid of it. The sweet years for any QX in my opinion is 2009-2010. Yes its older technology but those trucks can do well over 300k mileage easily with proper maintenance.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

This is valuable insight my friend thanks so much for stopping by and sharing this! It def is a shame to hear about those issues but glad the 09-10 is dependable. God Bless!

[@hamsterbrigade]

They have a TSB for this. I suspect they've been fixed in the new v8s. The irony is the engine is the only thing not built in Japan.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

@@hamsterbrigadeI saw the Titans get recalled for an Electrical short causing the engine to stall but sadly, not sure if they truly addressed the misfire. I haven’t heard complaints regarding it past 2019 but would like to see an official fix or update of the Engine

[@hertzair1186]

I have a 2020 QX80 with 45,000 miles….drives like new, has been flawless.

[@saad-px5jg]

2018-up all problem is fixed

[@lonniewimble5847]

Picked up my 2023 (sat on the lot a year) that was 63K and paid 46k. Love it. I've owned 2 Titan's before it, and the V8 is the best. I've owned 2 Ram 1500 Hemis, and I hated the MDS...Keep it simple, it does the job.

[@dudebud72]

I paid $57,000 for my new hermosa blue armada platinum 8 months ago. Unlike my previous vehicle, a 16’ gmc Denali, had lifter issues and was on its second torque converter by 10,000 miles, and other significant issues. My Nissan needed a new fan clutch, and due to it sitting at an angle at the dealership for 6 months, a radiator cap. I live on a mountain in the Adirondacks, so I’ve replaced the factory front rotors so far. I did buy perelli all season plus 3 tires for the elements, and now at nearly 20,000 miles, I am doing a driveline service, and replacing the spark plugs, they have definitely lasted as long as they are going to. I think the fluid capacities on the armada are rather on the small side, so replacing your driveline fluids often can’t hurt. My Nissan has exceeded my expectations so far, and is beyond the reliability I expected considering what abuse the thing takes. I’d highly recommend any new 2024 armada platinum or Infiniti QX80 sensory, these may be dinosaurs, but are amazing.

[@ngamerplayz8329]

the reason armada isnt gone yet is also 1 reason in the middle east it is very popular it is the no 1 suv here its called the nissan patrol so that comes into facctor everyone loves these here

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Hello my friend, any misfire issues or other Engine troubles in the Middle East?

[@KrisASims]

I had a 2014 Armada. Only issue I had was the front pinion seal needed replaced twice. 2nd time just a few days over a year from the first time but Nissan took care of it. Right after that 2nd time @80,000 miles, I traded it on a 2023. I loved my 2014 and so far I love my 2023! I did test drive Tahoe Z71, and I just liked the Armada SL better.

[@alengreen589]

a lot of car for the money and a engine where is good for 1 mill. miles. Thanks Kevin 😀

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I hope they fixed the engine issues because the price of these is great

[@salimrandall]

2017 QX80 is my daily. MSRP was $85,000 because it’s fully loaded. Bought it 4 years old with 29,000 miles for $40,000. It’s been great so far I hope the engine doesn’t blow at 69,000 miles like in your review. Funny because I have two neighbors with older ones and no problems.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

I really hope that doesn't happen my friend but glad you got a great price on the SUV it is underrated

[@jeffamburgey7485]

I must admit I had a rental 2021, loaded to the hilt, and was pleased with the drive train. She was a drinker, but I put a couple thousand miles on her, and it did the job. I could have bought one and saved some serious cash, but I just had to stay with Toyota, I can't get away.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

If one can swing it, I do think the Toyota variants are still the better buy but this is great for someone who doesn't quite have the means to purchase the competitors, this is the cheapest option. Toyota will have amazing resale and perform better than this

[@jeffamburgey7485]

Dollar to value is all real stuff, but once you break away from the math argument, I think it just comes down to what you want and are able and willing to spend. Is the 100k SUV twice as good as the 50k? Probably not, but there is a quality in the top of the Lexus line that is, to me, undeniable, worth the extra 50k.......ask my kids when the estate is settled, I really at the risk of sounding cavalier, could care less. Excellent review, Kevin. I really look forward to them.

[@Excalabur50]

Ah this is our Patrol, which is the direct competitor to the Landcruiser

Have you heard of any engine issues for the Patrol in Australia? It’s def a great SUV to drive

I gotcha is diesel still cheaper than gas in Australia?

@MeynMotorGroup No not any more but usually you can go further for your money and modern diesels are pretty clean and efficient

Hi I’m looking for a preowned certified Armada 2021 onwards Is there a huge diff between Platinum vs SL ? I want low mileage under 40 K and there are plenty of SL’s but few platinum I intend to put a lot of miles in this car Is the cabin too loud ? Lot of road noise ? Plz let me know 😊

[@MeJonTheDon]

Is this video from Dallas suburbs?

[@Aniki1111]

If it's $10000 less than competitors and the motor or transmission goes out in 5-10 years, I still think it would come out ahead with a junkyard one installed. Probably makes sense for some new buyers. So many features too. I was looking at the Versa (not to buy lol) and it has USB c port in the back, digital gauge and smart key and a ton of safety features in some of the trims. I hope Nissan proves to be reliable in the future.

[@MeynMotorGroup]

Lol yea I know what you mean it's a solid deal for sure in this market. Versa manual is nice and also have you checked the alternator on your Elantra? If nothing's wrong with the alt then it must be your starter that has issues

[@Aniki1111]

@@MeynMotorGroup just spoke to the shop a few hours ago.. they think it's the fuel pump but they want to keep looking at it to be sure, they said they will call me first thing in the morning

[@resistenciaterrestre5439]

Yo veo y escucho que hay mucha mala propaganda y odio por las joyas de Nissan (sobre todo la Armada y Titán); tanto que los odiadores han puesto en estado de coma a la Titán. Eso no se hace y hay que ser lógicos y nobles. Nissan hace buenos carros, pero la mayoría habla mal de ellos y no saben ni un centavo de autos. En fin, mi próximo auto será una Armada o una Titán. No me importa que la titán se descontinue; yo la quiero porque confío en la marca y eso es todo. Ahora mismo tengo un Nissan sedan 2024 y es una belleza.

I drove a qx80 and it drove terribly for how much it cost! Archaic design.

[@sergemoor9789]

Engines for nissan armada are made in USA

[@jONAThAnBunt1990]

What ppl FAIL to realize and is it finest American's at that? -- is that the Armada has the best ground clearance over the damn designer of the Jeep Wagoneer, Expedition, Tahoe. U look at the A-arm shape & clearance of that under all the other vehicles... if you're attempting any kind of off-roading and u come up to a bolder big enough or if u happen to align your driving just so perfect where u actually get the tire over it, but if u don't and the tire slips off the rock then it's going to damage the a-arm or possibly other stuff under the vehicle... so those complaining about cv replacement -- hmm could it be it's because the cv's are at a greater pitch for the superior ground clearance thus inevitably would cause to wear sooner? I think so. Or why not just want greater ground clearance for safety anyhow? Lol....
