Here is my new Nissan Armada S 4WD!
Its a brand new 2023, picked it up with a mere 58 miles on it.
At work I also somewtimes drive an Excursion and on rarer occasions a Tahoe, yet I prefer the Armada by a significant margin.
The S MSRPs for only 55.5k with 4WD.
Which is a great deal if you think about it.
Thats mid range 4 runner, or loaded Pathfinder, money and this is of course a different classs from either altogether.
Based on the world renowned Y62 Patrol so it has some of the strongest bones of any vehicle.
Got crazy and I mean crazy money, off, for end-of-year discounts.
The advertised prices were even not a bait and switch, they were actually real.
This was the dealer the incentives as of 16 Sept 2023 still show:

I expected stacking incentives for which one man cannot possibly qualify for all, and not the really deep discounts not applying to the lower trims...
But they did.
It's end of year plus the '24s will be a significant redesign.
Th redesign does not bother me, I will likely like this Y62 generation better anyway
I bought the car mainly because its Y62 and a relatively inexpensive one to boot.
But now that I have it, I realize it drives a lot better than I expected.
Even being careful with my foot, due to still breaking engine in, its already clear; its a beast.
The turning radius is also very very tight for a full size SUV.
It rides as if I am sitting on a magic carpet!
So smooth never did I imagine a body on frame SUV could ride like this!
The seats are also quite nice.
And those huge factory LED headlights (included even on the "S") are out of this world.
This feels like a 60+k vehicle , even though I spent much less.
And the "S", as an added bonus, is 134 lbs lighter than the Platinum trim. :yesnod
The only negative is the NissanConnect, while feature rich and even fun, always phones home to Big Nissan.
Dont like those tracking features, they are a serious security concern to me, but I will have the telematics antenna (which sends out active signals, receiving is fine w/o it) disconnected at some point soon.
