Used 2010 Nissan Armada Consumer Reviews
My second armada
This is my second armada i also owned a 2005 se i love the power and reliability we use ours to tow a travel trailer extensively the self leveling rear end never gave us a problem and the power this unit has a fully loaded 29' trailer fells like your not pulling any thing i've owned fordm Chevy and dodge you can keep em these are in my opinion the most comfortable, powerful,and reliable suv/truck 4x4 on the market.
Value Leader
With $4,500 incentive, no contest. Even 3-4 year old used large SUV couldn't compete. Rear view camera critical on large SUV and Armada is best. Best in class 3rd row comfort and cargo space. Nice interior design, despite a few rough edges. Lots of little storage, but sub-floor storage in back would help. Push-button start and proximity unlock on hatch would be nice improvements. Excellent ride quality, despite engine roar (part of its character). Worst in class gas mileage; 14mpg mixed. But, trade for excellent towing and amazing acceleration, it's worth it. If you don't need off road or towing, go with a minivan; more space, more convenience, 30% cheaper. It's my 5th Nissan!

Nice Car
Have a 2010 Titanium 4wd Armada. Great family vehicle. This car makes towing easy and it is very capable off road as well. Overall, this is a very nice truck and i am very pleased with it.
Great SUV
I bought this car used, a 2010, with 85000 miles. I went from only owning Lexus vehicles, to this one, and I have to say, I love it - it's perfect. People complain about mileage, but it's a big car, so it is expected to be poor. I average around 14 to 15 MPG overall. Summer its higher, winter it's lower. I traded in a Lexus RX because I wanted something with 3 rows of seats, with a third row that is actually usable. I looked at the Ford Expedition, Suburban, and Yukon, and none of them seemed to have a third row that anyone over the age of 5 could fit into. People note this car rides similar to a truck - and that's because it is one. That said, I think it rides very well, and is responsive for such a big vehicle. Moreover, the Armada is fast - much faster than you would expect. There is ample room for 2nd row passengers, and tons of cargo storage throughout. I have the Platinum version with bucket second row seats - so there is a console between the two seats. DVD entertainment works well. Heated steering wheel is awesome in the winter. In fact, I towed out a Ford F250 this winter that found itself stuck in the snow - and did it with great ease. As a whole, I would totally recommend this vehicle. It's great for family, or to fold down all the seats for hauling stuff. Tows 9100 lbs - more than any truck in it's class. I haven't had it long enough to rate reliability, but so far, it's been great - no problems. Update 9/8/18 I now have 145000 miles and would still completely recommend this truck. I have had no major issues with it, and still love it just as much as I did when I first bought it.

Nice, powerful, and big.
This vehicle is Nissan's equivalent of a Chevy Suburban. It's just about as big of an SUV as you can get. The engine has plenty of power, giving it a rated towing capacity of 9,000 pounds. The vehicle feels surefooted and responsive, but I can definitely tell it's built on a truck chassis and the ride is a bit bumpy. Ours is the base model and doesn't have some of the amenities we've found in the higher trim levels, but is still quite nice. One thing that immediately struck me was that the windows are disproportionately large, which gives very good sight lines. For the interior, the seats are a rather rough cloth, so I don't think I would want to sit on them for an extended period while wearing shorts. There is plenty of room for my 6' 4" frame. The vehicle is tall enough that it's rather high for even me to get in, which may lead to some premature wear on the edge of the front seats as I slide in and out, but my 5'4" wife can easily get in thanks to the running boards and well placed handholds. The third row seats are powered and there are flaps that cover the gap between them and the second row seats to provide a reasonably flat surface for cargo. There are plenty of power points throughout the vehicle. For storage compartments, there is an overhead storage assembly running from the windshield to the second row seats with half a dozen or so compartments suitable for sunglasses, books, and such. On upgraded trim models there is a DVD player, the headphones for which store in one of the overhead compartments. The center console is quite large and deep, and there is a large open storage area directly ahead. One issue is that, because of the sheer size of the vehicle, some of the HVAC and radio controls as well as the front cup holder are at the extreme end of my reach without shifting in my seat. This may prove a problem for people with shorter arms, but probably can't be helped given the size of the vehicle. There is plenty of storage for the back seats. There is sub floor storage in the cargo area, but it is not very deep. I can't fit the 5 pound fire extinguisher I keep in the car in it, but it should be good enough for jumper cables, road flares, and the like. The HVAC system, at least on heat, is fairly anemic and is difficult to balance. This might be an issue for people in colder climates. It does have rear heat, which helps. The vehicle feels solid and has plenty of power. 70 MPH on the interstate feels like it's just loping along and not even trying. Even so, it has been getting 16 MPG in mostly highway driving. This vehicle, like all trim levels, has a 9,000 pound towing capacity and is set up with a 7 round light connector and class 3 Reese type hitch already installed. It should not be terribly difficult to install an electronic brake controller, and I don't forsee any problems towing our 28' camper. The vehicle cannot be dinghy towed behind a motorhome. Snow plow packages are available for the vehicle. It uses load range E tires, which help with handling but are more expensive and make the ride rougher, although this is probably necessary due to the towing capacity. The vehicle looks like it is designed for easy maintenance and repair. The vehicle is pretty maneuverable for its size and a backup camera helps with close quarters maneuvering. It does take up just about every bit of a standard parking spot, so it may be necessary to choose a spot wisely so your doors don't get blocked by neighboring cars. Overall, I definitely like this vehicle. It was purchased to be a heavy hauler, a backup to our daily driver vehicles, and to carry my family of four and all our luggage on vacation, and I think it will fill that role nicely. Overall, I'm highly satisfied.
