Nissan/Infinity QX80 are rock solid invincible suv despite of its old platform.

[@Thelilantjr]

Not the transmissions

[@sportsinvestor101]

​@@ThelilantjrTransmission is good on QX80 with 2.93 axle ratio for mpg purposes like Armada. But in international markets, the axle ratio is between 3.5 to 4 axle ratio and will climb a wall with terrible mpg once you throw in off road tires.

I'm leasing the 2021 QX80 4WD Sensory, and I actually like it. Yeah, it's been outdated, but it is more reliable than the American and European SUVs. The Lexus LX SUV is the king of reliability with off-road capability.

[@bashar_001]

Qx 80 is my Dream Car

[@sportsinvestor101]

Actually the QX80 is a Patrol with a tuxedo (mall edition). But in international markets, Patrols actually go neck and neck with LC and actually better in on road or off road performance with more aggressive axle ratio, front and rear lockers, Hydraulic suspension (HBMC works similar to a LX Hydraulic suspension), more power, more torque, more cargo space, more ground clearance, etc and yet 1000s cheaper.

[@sportsinvestor101]

Test drove LX600 and felt it was a major downgrade over our 21 LX570. Now let's see what that new Infiniti QX80 will drive like this summer. Nissan GTR engineer cooking a nice engine on that 25 QX80 with over 500 lbs/ft of torque. ❤❤❤

[@MPDLR]

I owned (3) GM dealerships. Was successful with it. Sold them a year ago and retired. I've NEVER bought a car in my life and I'll do so in 2 years and I will NOT by a GM car. GM's warranty policies punished dealers who actually tried to fix problems and take time to diagnose. There's no way in hell I'm going thru that as a customer. So even though I've had Yukon Denalis for 20 years - - a new one every 6 months - I'll be going Honda, Acura, or Lexus (depending on how my investments pan out in retirement lol)

Qx80 looks so good on the outside especially in pearl white, but the cluster being super old, the trans…..they need to put the 9 speed auto, digital cluster, and aluminum window/lock switches so u don’t feel like your in a Nissan.

Great video. I’ve been watching you guys for over 8 years now. Wow. Anyway both are great looking trucks. I personally picked up a 2018 Sequoia, almost new and not nearly what these cost new. I took advantage of the fact that is not a popular truck, doesn’t have all the unnecessary crap, that eventually will break, and it’s solid as a rock!! Love the space and the V8 it’s awesome. All of these are thirsty but if you need a big truck for moving around people and things, for me the sequoia did it. And I can seat 8 people comfortably. If you need a big suv, look around for certified ones.

The harsh truth is that GM reliability with major drivetrain components has dropped so low that owning a Yukon out of warranty is a big risk. The QX80 is so old its shameful, but the engines and transmissions in these things actually last a good long time. If you are just leasing for 3 year, definitely buy the Yukon.
