2013 Nissan Armada SV 4dr SUV 4WD (5.6L 8cyl 5A)

I am 3 years and 50,000 miles in on my first Nissan. I apparently get better gas mileage than most - 18 mpg average - which is bad, but not so bad for the size and power this vehicle affords. Converts from school bus duty to cargo van duty in seconds with ease. It has a very strong, quiet engine and many thoughtful creature features. The interior still looks new even after trucking my kids. The one disappointment I have is the paint seems a little thin. Mine is Midnight Garnet, which is a beautiful color, but it scratches easily. The fact that it is so dark makes scratches more noticeable. I anticipated a utility vehicle designed for family use would have a tougher finish. Otherwise our relationship is a happy one.

Underrated but FANTASTIC vehicle.

We bought our 2013 Armada Platinum in February of 2019. At that point, six years old and with 54k miles on the odometer. It had a clean history and services performed on or ahead of schedule at the time we purchased. Since taking ownership, we’ve done a transmission service at 60k and 90k miles, a differential service at 80k miles, and full synthetic oil changes every 5k miles along with routine brake and coolant flush services. Beyond the normal maintenance, the only issues we’ve encountered in our four years and 51k miles of ownership were replacing the starter at 81k miles and the A/C compressor and condenser (condenser wasn’t bad but it’s generally frowned upon to not do both when one goes bad) at 95k miles. Keep in mind that while that mileage was relatively low, the vehicle was eight and ten years old at the point of each service, respectively. We purchased a 48-month extended warranty when we bought the vehicle and it has paid for itself and then some replacing these two items. It has plenty of room for our three kids, aged 15, 11, and 7. We have the 2nd row captain’s chairs, factory headrest DVD system, power folding 3rd row, and power rear vented windows (REALLY useful when a kid “cuts one” in the car…..y’all know it happens) and everything still works flawlessly. No issues with the electrical system, engine, or transmission. For the one reviewer here who said they had to replace the transmission, I’d like to know what their service history was. I’ve spoken with many owners of these vehicles and Titans (which is the Armada’s truck counterpart) and the transmission has never come up as a weak point. It actually shares the same transmission with the 370Z (though with different gearing appropriate for its intended uses, like towing) which is overbuilt to handle the Z’s rear wheel power output. It rides like a truck because it IS a truck. It’s a true, body-on-frame SUV, not a unibody crossover. Still, it’s very pleasant to drive, easy to maneuver, and very comfortable on long trips. My 15-year-old son has even commented on how much more stable it feels to him than other large vehicles he’s driven. Just know that tires matter. We use Michelin Defenders and they’re awesome on this vehicle. The power, smooth highway ride, towing capability, and comfort for a larger family which can all be had at a fraction of the cost of its competitors make this a true hidden gem. Research and review the history if you plan to buy one but just know that if you find a good one, it will service you incredibly well if you simply take care of it. You cannot beat it if you want a full-sized SUV with great reliability and minimal unscheduled maintenance needs. We’re still loving our Armada and I suspect we will hang onto it for a long time to come and see just how much mileage we can get out of it over the next ten years or longer. And for the record, I’ve owned 28 cars in the last 26 years, with a variety of makes and models represented in the collection. I don’t hang onto many of them for too long. This one will be tough to let go of anytime soon, even for me. That’s saying something.

Bought new 2015 Armada ,3000 miles left front suspension noise. Dealer fixed it but the noise is now on the other side and rear .squeeking sometimes. So fed up with this vehicle. Can't wait to trade for a GM. This Armada has a serious appetite for fuel. Feel ripped off.

I replaced my 2006 pathfinder LE with 2015 Platinum Armada. Initially did not want to spend 20 years in a Nissan. Shopped the Infinity, BMW X5, Porsche, Benz, Expedition etc. I wanted a V8 and was going to spend $95,000 for what I wanted. The Armada was the last one I looked at and honestly hadn't even considered it till the end when I got in it. Loved it when I compared it to all the others as soon as I sat down. $47000 plus tax. No complaints at all so far. Melbourne Florida 12/15. I did get 19MPG on a drive to Tampa, but I do drive like an old woman.

2004 2008 2014 2015 2017 2018 and {4} 2020 Armadas. 2004-375k miles and the 2015 has 119k miles. the 2 old-timer mechanics on site explained to me the boss have always loved the Armadas. the mechanics initially laughed at him back in '03 when the first batch of Armadas arrived as his fleet vehicles. Later after almost 2 decades they understood why the boss chose them...their roomier, cheaper than competitor prices, huge towing capacity, and super reliable. the mechanics explained the Armadas were built like commercial use vehicles but were made for consumers. I can vouch about towing.....I tow boats and deliver 8500lb ones uphill freeway driving and i can still do it at 65mph all day long no problem. I asked about the bearings being greased prior to delivery and break wear...they both looked at me like i was stupid...ofcourse they grease the bearings boy they said...how would the wheels turn....brake wear with load use they replace every 50k miles, those that dont pull much around 75k miles but " Boy, they still got lots of meat on those pads but we just go ahead and change at this interval because the boss says so " i have been working here for 2 years and wash and wax these cars and most times i hook up the trailers for some delivery. I like those 2020 too but i prefer to buy my own personal Armada 2015 since i have seen with my own two eyes how reliable these beasts are. If they can handle the daily grind here at work, my 2015 armada that i am searching for will be no problem for my no load no towing just freeway driving and city grocery shopping daily driver will last forever. Hey im lucky i got not 1 but 2 old timers who have worked on them forever so i can always get some advice if i come across a maintenance issue i dont know about.
