It has a similar system to KDDS except it has 20 ECUs and a touch screen interface to raise and lower. Just 6 different sub menus to navigate around.

Louis III was king of West Francia from 879-882. He is best known for a decisive victory achieved over Viking raiders at the battle of Saucort-en-Vimeu, where he famously led a heroic charge in his first gen Nissan Armada, killing the Viking leader in single combat with a broken belt from the CVT in his wife's Altima.

In 781 Louis was appointed king of Aquitaine, and though he was only three years old at the time he would acquire great experience managing the Toyota Sequoia as he matured. In 813 he became co-emperor with his father, then, when Charlemagne died a year later, he inherited the empire of the Toyota Truck frame recalls.

Looking up actual figures, the Toyota Land Cruiser was the better seller in the first half of this year, and in 2019. The Nissan Patrol (Armada) was the bestseller in 2017, 2018, and 2020. There is no clear preference for either model, though there are likely more Nissans on the road.

My wife and I appreciated this video! When her 2018 Civic was hit and totaled recently (she was pregnant at the time), it accelerated our plans to get an SUV. Being that I’ve daily-driven a 2007 Tacoma V6 for 14 years, and have learned to do the maintenance (what little there is to do), and the fact that we like reliable, tough, simple vehicles, we decided to buy a 2021 base model 4Runner with a 3rd row seat. Fast forward a few months, our son is 8 months old, and the wife is pregnant again (they’ll be 13 mos apart). We’ve wondered if the 4Runner will be big enough, and something like this or the Sequoia has crossed our minds. Why not a minivan, you ask? We don’t like FWD, for many reasons (not as durable, bad engine access for maintenance, etc). And, my wife just doesn’t like minivans or crossovers (I don’t either). This is appealing over a Sequoia because it’s much cheaper, and looks better to us. Plus, it’s much faster. I doubt these are flying off showroom floors right now, and even in this inflated market, might be able to get into a base 2WD for low to mid 40s. The only thing that might give me pause is that I’ve heard some forum rumors of engine problems on this new generation of GDI Nissan V8s.

[@elizabethmiller7918]

When you reviewed the older platformed GX460 you found lots of good to say about "old school" SUVs and were gushing about how in many ways they are still desirable. Yet with the Armada, which incidentally costs about the same or less as a GX460, yet has a much bigger+badder motor, better sightlines, more room, better headlights etc etc etc..simply a class higher... it's just all talk about how its "old"... never mind that its a Y62 one of the most famous worldwide Landcruiser competitors and a newer platform than the GX460.. Any way you look at the Armada its either a Landcruiser competitor at 60% the price, or lots more capability than a GX460, at same same price. And did not get released in the early 2000s but its a Y62, which got released as a 2011-2013 depending on the market and has just been refreshed. If it was a Sequoia reviewers would be gushing about the "significant updates" even if it was just a facelift. The younger guy especially was criticizing things I believe he would have overlooked or even praised in a Sequoia or landcruiser or GX460 Also a mid-nite edition SL is not a "poverty trim" another incident about twisting a postive, ie Value and/or affordability, into a negative. In the middle East and Australia they are going toe-to-toe with the Landcruiser and deservedly so. This vehicle deserved the friendly and respectful review that the GX460 got (especially since its more truck at same price in every way) PS: No I dont own one, though I wish I did, I just notice how reviewers change the tenor of a review based on biases. PS2: Check out the australian reviews gushing about this SUV. PS3: As for this "old" engine. it is a 32 valve VVT, engine, closed deck, 6 bolt mains, titanium valves, forged pistons/rods/crankshaft. I own a vehicle with pre DI version of this engine the VK56de and at 173,000 HARD miles with hard towing and lots of city miles still has perfect compression in every cylinder and burns not a drop of oil. Show me a mercedes AMG or Chevy that can do that! Even the Toyota V8s will burn oil at this point.

I am finally getting one of these it looks like. They make an "S" trim with fewer bells and whistles again (not something reviewers would be interested in) and the end of year incentives are crazy. The MSRP is only 55k to begin with and the end of year incentives are huge this year (supposedly an update is coming). It may never be this affordable again to buy a Nissan patrol new (albeit a decontended one). The "S" I am looking at still has LED headlights, 360 degree camera though. But the stereo is only 4 speaker, the rear view mirror is manual, the outside mirrors are still heated. Exactly the simple but incredible sturdy, high mechanical content lifetime durability SUV one would want. And I am paying less than a new Pathfinder or 4Runner, for brand new full size V8 body-on-frame goodness.!! 🥰

[@this-is-big-john]

All these reviewers complaining about how "old school" it is. Thats exactly why I want it! Thats exactly why anybody would buy one of these, an older toyota sequoia, or gx460. We want reliable old school body on frame trucks. Not a twin turbo v6 or a hybrid with expensive batteries like in most modern suv's. Reviewers are cynics and always focus heavily on the negatives. Look at the 2023 Sequoia. People used to call it a dinosaur. Now theyre afraid of the all new hybrid power train and if itll keep running for 500k miles like the old v8 sequoias do

@@joseacuna3239 wrong. It is Direct injected. That version of the VK56 has been direct injected since 2011.

@@joseacuna3239 jack was WRONG. He didn’t do enough research on the Armada.

This has been out since 2010 globally, and is the third update. Much better effort than the Toyota Sequoia. These sell like hot cakes in the Middle East. In the market I'm in it's got the highest resale value of any used car.

toyota sequoia is much better

[@Vtc48xx]

@@blazerboiz5996 no it's not 👍🏼 Especially here in the middle East

[@ChrisVenegas-z8z]

Love my Armada! Best bang for your buck and with a 4x4 there are very few places I can’t drive through. Interior space is more than enough for a family including Dogs. The infotainment system works great and with Apple/Android play you honestly need nothing else. I can see view my work calendar for the day as I’m dropping the kids off for school and if I need to take a meeting from the car, no problem!

Armada. I drove mine to Woodstock, in the day, man. Good then good now. [Inhales deeply, holds, exhales smoke in the direction of the futon where Susie is sitting cross-legged, tie dye dress riding on her thighs. Switches on the Sony 8-track and plays Inna Gadda Miata.

Mark has finally pulled a Mazepin. 🏎😆

Did you mean mazespin?

[@alanmorrison3598]

Last time I checked, aluminum corrodes unless protective coatings are used..just like steel..in many cases, worse than steel..Aircraft runways are NEVER salted etc. for that reason. The under body coverings are not proven to reduce corrosion and in fact may trap corrosive substances above them and not allow flushing that occurs in a car wash or a heavy rain.

Loving the music choice 😂😂

This needs to be SO MUCH HIGHER!

[@eganjos1]

The level of tomfoolery in this video is simply amazing

[@neil3858]

Rented a brand new one for a week and I immediately noticed the truck's suspension gets upset after hitting bumps on the highway. Aside from that, nice truck.

[@phillipmarnik]

This was always a good car just with an old style interior. This update makes it good buy if you are in this market.

[@StevensCarReviews]

I was not expecting 7:32 😂😂 Glad you guys could have fun in a car like this! Great review as always :) I'm fairly impressed with the Armada redesign - I've seen a lot of these at airport car rentals now, and am looking forward to renting one myself soon!

[@juanjmolina]

The Metal Gear take made this video absolute GOLD!

[@simjet22]

*CORRECTION* 2017-current Armadas are built of the global Nissan Patrol platform. The pre-2017 Armadas were built of the Titan platform. FYI

[@blessen8170]

This SUV sells like corolla in the middle east, this and the land cruiser are the off road kings over there and is also famous in Australia and Africa, I guess over there people prefer the basics than all the gimicky SUVs available in North America.

[@raedkhmous1292]

Here in gulf they love this car a lot , they call it the king of roads .

[@povertyspec9651]

These beasts are bulletproof and will last forever- made in Japan. Based on the Nissan Patrol.

[@a.f.s.3004]

I looked at this before I bought a ‘21 Land Cruiser Heritage. It was a nice driving vehicle.

[@kmzoilus2486]

The Metal Gear Solid reference alone is worth a thumbs up!

[@kirillkucheryavenko6116]

There is absolutely nothing wrong with the Armada. A good vehicle.

[@Dave.S.TT600]

Great video...and great journalism. Well done,Guys

[@TheExcarlos]

Drove the previous generation (4wd) that had a harrop supercharger on it. And that thing felt weightless. Great car.

[@trialbygaming4588]

7:31 is so fun cuz I didn’t expect an SUV video to get this kind of reaction from bro😂😂

[@NinjAsaya]

Parents got the older gen Infinity QX80 which is almost the exact same thing but with a Infiniti badge slapped on. At around 100000km had to change the transmission and then the engine....

[@dogunboundhounds9649]

Unlucky.

[@chaseteter]

Shades of Tim and Eric Great Job for the Game Over part of this video.

[@sir3612]

these outsell Sentras in the UAE it’s crazy (under the Patrol nameplate)

[@DevTheBigManUno]

Drove an Armada for like 2 weeks a few months ago. It's a weird transition. But I liked it. Big enough to be a hotel room on the fly, but all around not too bad. It also handles like the boat you think it is.

[@BigHeadClan]

Oh god whoever edited in that MGS clip deserves a raise.

[@LeftenantMalachi]

Would love to own this beast in the Platinum model.

[@imaldon1]

Please pretty please review the new 2022 Jeep Grand Wagoneer. It's been reviewed by other journalists and for sure many of us want to see your take on the halo truck from Jeep. We enjoy alot your reviews.

[@DetachedGarage]

Love the Formula D practice! 😂 and the shirt 🙏👍

[@revnto7k]

Surprised how decent it is. The powertrain should actually be fairly good, as the main issues with Nissan automatics all lie in the CVT realm. The 5 and 7 speeds of the past were always decent. Nissan also typically makes a good naturally aspirated engine. (Looking at you VQ) Thanks for sharing.

[@Bryan_R1]

The Metal Gear Solid game over screen was funny AF! I'd like to see more game over screens in future videos
