Is the NEW 2025 Nissan Armada Pro-4X a better SUV than a Chevrolet Tahoe Z71?

[@RaitisRides]

This one was a shocker for both Lori and I! You really need to let Nissan know how you feel this all new Armada Pro-4X in the comments section. That way they will keep bringing extra special trims of their new models!

[@LuisUrbieta]

I enjoy the Nissan Armada!

[@dondonaldson1684]

9 speed trannies need to propagate throughout their lineup. The new front fascia design language is awesome. Love the triple slot heritage. This vehicle makes more sense than the QX80. Loaded interior in an off-road? Spectacular suite of features. Ass end is simply superb.

They just killed Toyota Sequoia sales! And I’m a Yota guy! Large SUV with a fold FLAT floor! Now I have something to trade my Sequoia in on! Thank you Nissan!

[@FunFamilyZone]

Agreed!

[@chan-brown]

In my opinion, the Sequoia (especially the TRD) is a massive powerhouse SUV and many cannot deny they enjoy driving it, but it's priced to the moon and beyond. Therefore, it probably will be a blip on their sales chart and they will assume there isn't a market for it. Nissan is about to prove them wrong with the new Armada if they can keep it competitively priced, only then Toyota will realize they need to get their head out of their asses with the current prices across the fleet and stop banking on brand loyalty for so long - because everyone will probably buy this instead and show a large margin in sales over the Sequoia. Toyota, wake up...

[@bignoiz08]

​@@chan-brownexactly...I couldn't agree more

[@tomwujek4867]

This makes the new Toyota Sequoia redesign look like a total embarassment. Nissan really knocked it out of the park with this one. 3 rows, flat floor, independent suspension and good off road equipment. Plus Nissan has built good turbo engines and that should probably have less problems than Toyota has out of the gate.

[@camilomartinez1044]

I saw it at the OC Auto Show. The fit and finish is better than the Tahoe. And it even feels nicer than the Sequia. There is no contest versus the Sequoia regarding the comfort 2nd and 3rd rows and space behind the 3rd row. Toyota should consider releasing a non-hybrid version with a flat floor and deep seats (a big ask). Of course, nobody has driven the Pro-4X, so hopefully, it performs as well as a TRD-Pro.

[@FrankChouFinance]

This is great, now we just need a new XTerra!

That would be awesome if Nissan would do that.

@@ant208the car has air suspension

[@AJ-bh7vm]

@@ant208 The outgoing Y62 has more ground clearance the Y63 Patrol that was just released in the Middle East/Global market the same time this Armada was released in the USA. Now they are both identical. Therefore they did not make it softer than its Patrol counterpart not this time around, no difference at all. This time the Patrol and the Armada are the exactly the same, especially the Pro-4x. The Global Patrol will be offered in different configuration just like this Armada and the only difference is that the Global Patrol will have two engine choices instead of one. The new Patrol would be more comfortable to ride and has gone upscale, just like this Armada.

This is a beautiful SUV. I own 2023 Armada Platinum. I bought it because I knew they were going to downsize the motor. I prefer the 5.6 V-8 to any turbo. A non-turbocharged motor will last longer. However, had I not purchased the 2023, I may have considered this model for lease only.

Great review, defintely digging this, will watch the Platinum Reserve video too. Driving a 2015 Platinum now, ready to buy probably my last vehicle, as retired and 64 years old. Had a Tahoe Z71 in past, towed a 25' Wellcraft cuddy with it, although stretched to the limit. I am 6'5", 240, and although my Pathfinder has good room, been looking to get back into a bigger SUV now, and can afford one too. Letting those CDs past year pile on the interest to buy new now. Always loved those Patrols I would see in countries I flew to, with my old airline job. Nissan did great here.

[@CharlesRutherford-BelmontNC]

SPOT ON Nissan! Love the height adjustment with the air shocks snd the lay flat cargo area. I have a 2021 Midnight Edition that is satisfactory, EXCEPT the cargo area, when the 2nd row is folded down, the rear console is higher than the seats, not flat. When you attempt to load cargo that's long, wide and heavy, resting on the console, the weight will cause the rear console panel to break loose; this is a design flaw that's never been addressed. I will seriously consider the 2025.

One thing I tend to look for with the bigger SUVs is cargo capacity. Towing capability/capacity is something care about but I’ve learned can be affected by the overall weight limitations/cargo capacity. It would be awesome to see the information added to some of these videos reviewing bigger, trailer capable videos. Otherwise I’m stoked about this option.
