For starters the Armada is a truck based SUV. There wasn't a crew cab truck on the market in 2004 that offered the same combination of interior space, amenities, and car like comfort that our 2012 F150 has. That was the point which I was trying to convey. But I'll still play your game.....

The Armada was 5013 lbs and had 305 HP, giving it a power to weight ratio of 16.4 lb/hp. That's 10% better than the 4.6L Toyota Tundra which I felt was only adequate. Furthermore, your HP pissing contest started earlier totally ignores torque, which is a significant contributor to the performance of a truck. At 385 lb/ft it actually has 5 lb/ft more than my F150, and almost 60 lb/ft more than the 4.6L Tundra. The Armada 0-60 time of 6.8 seconds is actually faster than my F150 at 7.1, and much faster than the 4.6L Tundra at 7.9. So yes, the Armada was quick enough for my needs and would likely blow the doors off of a V6 powered full sized truck. What was your point again?

BTW, I'm curious about your hard on for my posts. Is it because I don't genuflect to your car knowledge? I think you have a good perspective to share on these forums, but it also comes off very car salesman at times (for good reason). I don't claim to know everything about everything, but I like to share what I know. Considering that I just purchased a new crew cab truck after cross-shopping the competition and have already put almost 20k on said truck, I think I have a perspective to offer on this thread that you don't.
