We have a '95 Armada LE as my wife's daily driver and my tow vehicle for the racer. Our previous SUV's were a '97 Expedition (good vehicle) and a '00 Tahoe Z71 (POS). There is absolutely no comparing the difference between the Armada to the majority of big SUV's out there in the market today . When we first got the Armada, I used the analogy of the Z71 being a 'covered wagon' when compared to the Armada in all aspects. I know Toyota has finally come out with a REAL suv in the new Sequoia however I've yet to drive one. The previous Sequia is not even the same class as a Armada as a SUV used like an SUV.
I suggest that if you plan to tow or carry heavy loads with your Armada, that you get the LE. It comes standard with the 'Load Leveling' suspension and makes it superior as a tow vehicle to any other SUV on a 1/2 ton platform. Our's did not come with the DVD, so we added the aftermarket DVD and Sattelite radio and got the larger than stock screen, the kids love it.
We have put 47,xxx miles so far on our Armada and have had only one repair issue. A few months back the Airbag warning light came on. It was a sensor in the drivers seat belt system that was replaced under warranty. Other than that, ~0~ issues.
