Just curious, why not an Armada? We had a 2005 from 60-120k and it was flawless. Far better than the Expedition in every way, we test drove multiple examples of both.


Don't really like the look of them and am a little concerned about parts cost (being that its nowhere near as common a vehicle)
Looks I get. But parts cost? It's a Nissan for God's sake, not a Maserati.

If you can get over the looks, go drive one. Surprisingly nimble and tight, fantastic engine and transmission combo. Exponentially better than the dog 5.4 bolted into the Expedition that handles like a boat. Massive 2nd row, very usable 3rd row, more standard features, one handle flip forward 2nd row seats so easy that my 4 year old could operate them, great space behind the 3rd row. I set out to buy an Expedition, once we drove the Armada it wasn't even close.
