yasser nidami This is the Y61 model, who replaced the Nissan Patrol Y61 from 2010 gradually on different markets, and now replaces the WA60 Nissan Armada/Infiniti QX56-QX80 of the first generation since 2010 (Z62) for the late and from 2016 on the Nissan.

I agree. I'm a current owner of a 2015 Tahoe and am going to test drive a 2018 Armada this weekend. Very well may trade, in large part due to concerns with the cylinder deactivation with GM's 5.3L. Plus have been very impressed by everything I've seen about the 2nd gen Armada's.

I couldn't strike a deal with Nissan, was thousands apart. Ended up trading for a 2016 Yukon Denali with the 6.2L. It's the fastest engine I've ever driven, power to spare while not towing and enough power to pass vehicles going up a hill while towing if need be. I ordered a range disabler that will keep the engine running all 8 cylinders 100% of the time to avoid the issues associated with the cylinder deactivation.

@@MrInternationalSound The 2017- current Nissan Armada is based on the Nissan Patrol which is available around the globe. Based on, but not identical. Still, a very robust and reliable 4x4. There is a rare issue with some of the earlier ones where the engine cylinder #7 was bored incorrectly from the factory that can result in engine knock over time. For vehicles that were under factory power train warranty Nissan would often replace the complete engine as it is less labor hours than shipping a new block and rebuilding. If you see an engine replacement on a vehicle history report by the factory/Nissan dealership it's probably worth calling that dealership to see if that was the issue. I recently purchased a used 2017 that received a brand new engine from Nissan for this issue. All covered by Nissan and even qualified for Nissan CPO. The issue has been fixed in the later models and by and large they don't have much in the way of major mechanical repairs. If you're looking at a 2017 or 2018 just do your due diligence, get a vehicle history report and have a private mechanic take a look at it to verify that it's in good condition. The engine is over powered for daily driving and is really never taxed except for hills and/or jumping on the highway. If you look at the SV trim keep an eye out for the Drivers Package as it includes a few niceties that will make your life easier going forward such as power liftgate and third row seats, pre-wired trailer harness to make towing really easy and means you won't have to spend the money to get a trailer harness wired up on your own dime.

These are a ridiculously good deal on the used market nowadays. You can get them for below 20k if you look hard enough. It's an excellent starting point for an overlander build on a budget, though the third party support is limited unless you're willing to import (Patrol) parts from Australia.

terranborn56 Yes, there is a reason it's more expensive, but that's a negative for off road. Bigger size, big rims, and just too many luxuries to want to take it off road. Same thing as taking a brand new Tahoe off road. No knew vehicle other than a Wrangler should be taken off road.

OK, but I think that's up to the owner. I know people who fix up their new LR4's and take them off road, and I took my F-150 Lariat with off road package, off road almost immediately. If you are going mainly on FS roads in one of the National forests, very little danger of extensive damage. Mostly pin stripes. I wouldn't use an Armada for Rock crawling or highly technical trails even if it was old and used, same for my F-150.

Where are you located? I've seen a few dealers in Alabama already list their 2017 Armadas for 5-7k off MSRP. They are just starting to arrive on lots so I think if you wait 2-3 months the price will settle down. Nissan is trying to undercut their competition and gain market share so I bet you can get these for 5-7k off MSRP all day long if you shop right.

Yes, but testing a fully loaded one gives you an idea of cost. Which means you can get one with less options and still get a decent offroad vehicle.

rochab77 I'm pretty sure it doesn't even have a center diff. More likely it just has a multi plate clutch set up like most of these sorts of vehicles have. And it likely locks completely in 4 high. But that only stops the rear wheels from spinning faster than the front wheels. It doesn't stop one per axle from spinning faster than the other.

Yes .. the Patrol has rear diff lock .. they replaced it with towing button. But, ARB has rearlockers that you can easily add. Plus, the Patrol has a mutli-terrain selector, this one doesn't. But all in all, you are getting a car that was porously built to be an ultimate off-roading, comfortable, upscale SUV (same as the Land Cruiser) which is the legendary Patrol Y62. Unlike the past generation Armada that was based on a pick-up truck Titan .. you literarily would be driving another breed of cars. it's like if Toyota replaced the Sequoia with the Land Cruiser ..

@fkmbmw
@fkmbmw 8 жыл бұрын
You are a dummy if you think "auto" or limited slip is better when it comes to rear diff lock. Plus, even the Gulf Patrols have "center locker" it's called a 4H. When you are in dunes or off-roading, just turn off the stability/VDC and maybe just lock the center diff (4H). When you are stuck or in a very hard situation, and you rear wheels are in a different elevation, or one is stuck, activate the rear diff-lock. Plus having a "button" and a legitimate LOCKER is far stronger force than limited slip differential, which is better in speed rather than off-roading, particularly sand dunes and rock climbing. Lastly, this Armada does't have "limited slip diff" it as the same Patrol differential, but lacks the locker device, where you can buy it online and add it to an NA Armada .. or use ARB air diff locker for either REAR or FRONT.

fkmbmw Ya ya sure,dummy And we tried it and it was dummy like you said because it never engages due to the cheap quality that the gulf brings compared to the American one,keep clubbing for the gulf version through reading manuals and forgetting the real test drives😄

you do realize that the Armada shown in this vid DOESN'T have a limited slip diff... so you'r 1st comment is wrong all together. Man, I own a 2012 Y62 (317 hp) the diff locker you hating on never broke and ALWAYS locked the rear end, your car might be a lemon or has something wrong with the diff lock. Plus, please get off your high horse, I drive my Patrol from Riyadh to Hagel oil fields every 2 weeks, went to Oman from through Empty Quarter with 0 issues. As I said, your car might be having a problem with it's rear diff lock, if you are near Riyadh, I can recommend a mechanic that specializes in the Patrol, or you can opt to the rear/front air-locker by ARB for the Patrol or almost every 4x4.

fkmbmw now here is the problem, You don't read about the armada, But you r so cool in telling the others that the video doesn't match what they say about the car, Open your mind,go to Nissan USA, Check for the armada,check its 4wd system written there not only looking at the video without a brief background about the car,listening with no reading is like looking at the food and eating it without knowing the real ingredients

fkmbmw First choose your words, Second riding in the sand is different than rocks,which means the rear diff lock button would not help that much because in sands u would need to keep it off unless you will go straight,once you swing it would fuck the axels+how would it help if I am stuck and activate it later, Such ABLS that is in the Armada would evade the car from being stuck in the mud,although the button is taughet. Anyway, I believe the strongest system was ever produced is the commander overland 2009 quadra drive II,because you use the horsepowers efficiently with no after markets locks or anything,instead of paying so much money on a patrol.

Yep .. It's a double wishbone. it's awesome off-road. Kings shocks made new shocks and coilsprings for the Nissan Patrol Y62 (non-hydraulic models) that is identical to the car in his review, though you will be missing a rear diff-lock and a select-terrain cluster. Though, ARB will most likely provide an air-locker for it (it mighty be already out for customers who want to replace their Patrol's mechanical locker with an air one)
