My son said I was too old to drive an Armada. Was wondering how old the average Armada owner is? How old are you?


BTW I'm 46 years young :hi:

Yeah, me too. Are you Gonna make it to the meet??

23 here. my parents said i was to young to be driving a big old soccer-mom suv. but with two kids come two car seats, two strollers, etc. needed a big *** vehicle!!

39. First thing I remember is watching the first man land on the moon. 2 years, 2 weeks old. ;)

I'm young enough to get into trouble and old enough to know better:D
I am inside of the Nissan demographic for this truck.

I don't know why, but I'm always supprised when people think about the Armada as age specific. I'm also supprised when I hear people associate the 'mada with soccer moms. Don't they know soccer moms prefer suburbans??

Personaly, I'm thankful there are older folks driving this rig. I have learned a TON of stuff from the experienced members of CA.

I am going on 35 and I do not know if I fit the demographic but I had absolutely no good reason to buy an Armada. I had a perfectly good Ford Explorer, I have no kids and I bearly haul stuff around. Hell, 95% of my driving is just me alone.

My only reason was "I just had to have it". Having said that, I LOVE it!

31.

I dont think of it as a soccer mom vehicle. Even though I got it for the wife and kids! :o

I dont think this vehicle has an age demographic either. But I could see how someone might think that the size demands a more "mature" driver.

I'm 24 brought it home the day before my 24th birthday

I'm 64 years young. Rode motorcycle for 20 of those years. Owned three sports cars. Just sold my o3 G35 coupe, DAMN. Had to get the tank to haul around 5, count em' 5 grand kids. Couldn't stuff em' in the G. I'm an old geezer, but I love driving my tank and I'm still quick off the line!!!:nana:

53, and bought it because I wanted it.:cool:

I'm in the same boat as you spta97. No kids. No trailer to pull. Had to have an Armada! Went shopping for an Xterra or maybe a pathfinder...left with a 'Mada!!LOL

I'm 29. Everyone in my family thinks I should be driving something "youthful" like a G35 or M35. Oh well, what can I say. I need the QX to carry around my 6 foot long bass...

1. I like it.

Stop showing off please :mad:

Coming up on 54 pretty quick, Bought it right after I test drove the Toyota Sequoia, What a lead sled that Toyota was. Wife liked the front seats better than the Toyota. Nothing to tow, just like big and fast.

Stop showing off please :mad:


LOL!! I guess yours isn't a spring chicken anymore eh? Hey we all had our moments of glory :P

26 here and loving the qx

Hey guys!
I'll be fifty next month, only one grandkid and I bought my Armada to pull a boat I haven't bought yet. I looked at Escalades and such, but the Armada won me over. I just installed two Alpine 12's and a MTX amp so I'm loving it more than ever. Armada isn't for everyone, just the special folks like us!
05 LE galaxy with all available options
All chrome oem grill (chrome honeycomb), Chrome bumper fillers
Black halogen double halo headlamps
Chrome SE wheels (good deal from ebay)
22's on the back burner!
Merry Christmas to all!:hi:

16 :D I love it when I drive the Armada to school ;)

Dang Hullio, when I was 16 I had to drive a 94 camry with an interior that my step dads dog tore up, back then all I wanted navigator. Actually untill last spring I was still driving that same camry.

I am 18 and I love driving the Mada! Has all the power I need! Love to smoke all the other SUV's!

I'm probably the oldest here at 68. I replaced my Pathfinder with my Armada because the Pathy wouldn't hold all the guns that I carry to gun shows. My Armada is a working truck! But its a fast working truck. I was in Austin for the last three days for a show there. While I was there I had UpRev do some more tuning. They worked on it for about two hours Friday, and couldn't get it how they wanted. So they went home to think it out and came back to the show Sat. morning and picked up the Armada. Three hours later they came back and said that they had got it worked out. My Armada was the first one they had on the dyno, and it takes time to get everything set up correctly, But they will work on it until they get it right.
I couldn't try any test runs on the drive back home tonight because the back was loaded with guns. As soon as I have the time and conditions are right I will run more tests and post results.

I'm not as old as dirt but younger than fire. My wife thinks I'm about 12 because of my insatiable lust for motorized toys (motorcyles in particular). My teenage kids think I'm 70 because I don't ride a dirt bike as fast as they would like (something to do with being able to go to work on Monday and eating). I feel like about 35, but am really 51. As far as my wife knows I bought the Armada for it's towing capability and the 2nd row leg room/door size to get her elderly parents in and out. The truth is that I really like that skinny pedal.

I'm 38 and still counting!

Ok Steve, I know where to get a gun if we ever got invaded.:D

For real......you can put alot of guns in the back of the Mada.

im 33 japanese, wife is 33 filipina. funny how you said almost all filipinos have vans. my wife drives a dodge grand caravan and in the philippines we have a nissan urvan that seats 12 people, when we go out we all go out... lol

33 strong!

We upgraded our Pathfinder to the Mada so my wife's parents could go out with us!

Im 36, wife and I are both both born and raised in PI. traded our Murano for the Armada needed a bigger vehicle. Wife never liked any minivans.

I am 38 years old. I've never owned an SUV before. My wife who, is 28 years old, convinced me we needed a larger vehicle with the birth of our second son who is now 11 months. I test drove every other SUV out there and being a Nissan fan, the Armada was the logical choice.

34,

It was purely a case of lust with us. We were looking for a new car, and as soon as we saw it, we wanted it.

we have two boys, our two nephews and my brother-in-law are stayin with us, and my mother-in-law likes to go with us to dinner on sunday. Not to mention haulin all the kids friends whenever we go somewhere.

51 .. I wanted a vehicle so I could tow my car to car shows. I haven't purchased the trailer "yet" ..

My choices were .. the Titan or Armada (largest towing capacity) .. Armada won out because it was "red". The wife's ONLY requirement.

Hmmm .. what are the demographics?

36 years young. Space comes in handy with two kids on road trips.

41 yrs young...got tired of paying for 4 hour hotel room and figure the Mada was Big as some of the rooms...(NAW JUST KIDDING)...I have a Camry and when family going out everyone could not fit..So I bought Mada so we could go as a Family....4 Girls 1 boy and Wife..damn

I am 39. My Armada totes the wife, 1 boy and 1 girl. I am an avid golfer (I play from the tips) and the Armada often serves as 'Team Bus' when when I am out on the long weekend guys golf trips. Also do a good bit of boating and tow a 23' Yamaha SX230 boat around. The Armada replaced a Ford Expidition that I had for 7 years. Chose the Armada over the Lincoln Navigator....decided I was too young for the Lincoln.

huh:confused: :crikey:

Age of majority here is 19....... and I got another 20 years experince at it:D

tg

huh:confused: :crikey:
I think he is trying to say he is 39 :D

I think he is trying to say he is 39 :D

lol, I am not good at these puzzles, lol

lol, I am not good at these puzzles, lol
He's basically saying he is 19, but he has had 20 years of experience being 19. :D (At least that's what I think he's saying)

I am 38 years of age.

42 Went to look at the new (then) Pathfinder, left with the Mada after test drive with the wife and kids (2). Plus, just ditched the F350 dually so still needed something to tow with, - made sure I had some additional towing capacity so I can upgrade what I am towing later:D

The big 30

30 here, I can see the top of the hill closing in :)
QX56 is for the wife and 2 kids

I'll be thirty next May...:eek:

Going on 35 myself...

Im 24, I have had a rough life my whole life so it feels like im in my 30's :D

Wow! Looks like anywhere from 16 to 68 years old. I showed my son this thread and he shut up about me being to old for this SUV. I think he was saying that so I'd give it to him. "NOT" lol

HAHAHA,,,my 12 year old is already asking for the keys. Boy am I in trouble. :eek: :eek:

46 years young

46 years young

Andreas, should say 46 young:cool: , When are you coming to our next meet,lol, j/k:D

32. Bought the QX56 for my wife, who is 30. Had a nice BMW 525i sportswagon, but needed a 4wd vehicle since I'm moving to Alaska. The QX best fit our needs and style for what I was looking for.

Just turned 40 last month. Don't feel any older, but waist size keeps getting bigger!

36 years old.

I'm at that tender age of 29. Armada was my first brand new car.

TITAN = first new car. 22yrs old

Roll On.

39 now...big four O in March.

39 now...big four O in March.

What day in March.....on the 13th I will 42.

36. I say I bought it to haul my wife and 3 daughters around.

i just turned 21

Opps...

I bought mine to haul my two boys, 3 and 2, and "the 'ole ball and chain" around this funky sphere we call earth.

42 years old.

Needed a bigger car to haul the kids, the toys and to get around with comfort.

Im 29, I was 28 when I got it.
Its funny, I was thinking about asking this question just today...
No wife, No kids.
I bought mine because I had been driving an '96 4dr Civic for the last 10yrs, Ive physically grown a lot in those years, & its one thing for 4 19yr old guys to jump in the car & head out on a trip or boarding, its quite another for 4 grown men to do it & be comfortable. In my Civic, I basically view it as a coupe now because I am uncomfortable driving if anyone sits behind me since I have to slide up so far.
I also wanted it for the 4x4, Ive been stuck in blizzards for the past 2yrs on my way to & from Snowshoe WV, the last time...was the LAST TIME!!
Oh... and the other reason was I have a tractor, & at some point I want to be able to haul it around, or at least have the option to haul it...I dont think the Civic will do that trick on a 1" 1/4 receiver LOL!

37 HERE.............:goteam::goteam:

42 here. Originally bought it for a family vehicle. After a short time my wife said it was too uncomfortable to get the little ones in and out. Bought a Honda Odyssey for her and the five children, sold the Expedition and Accord and the Armada has been all mine ever since. :)

Good to see this thread brought back alive!!!

I’m 37 and have a wife and 3 kids. I bought mine because you can actually fit in the 3rd row seat. So we have plenty of room on family trips.( Also because it looks bad ***)

28 here....

22 and im a new dad. Thought it was the perfect "big daddy" truck.

:crikey:I am going on 35 and I do not know if I fit the demographic but I had absolutely no good reason to buy an Armada. I had a perfectly good Ford Explorer, I have no kids and I bearly haul stuff around. Hell, 95% of my driving is just me alone.

My only reason was "I just had to have it". Having said that, I LOVE it!

OMG please close this thread! I've aged 5 years since my inital post!!!! :eek:

:) 37 years for me. 3 kids, wife, white picket fence...

(this is a mighty old thread!)

54 and feeling like I'm 35 most days! Had the truck for about 5 years now and still loving my mada and this club. CA, best club on the web!

39. First thing I remember is watching the first man land on the moon. 2 years, 2 weeks old. ;)

Nice Vette :cool:



Im 29

Wife and I are 33, I bought it to outrun my brothernlaw and sisternlaws tahoe!!

36
No matter how old, I will always have something custom..started at 17 and it will never end
..Needed something to tow the 2 lil ones and the 28ft travel trailer :-)

WOW, it has been 4y since my original post! I am 52 now.
Since 50 is the new 20... I am 18! :D
I have seen the building of the Twin Towers and seen them fall. WOW! I remember the 1st man on the moon, the assasinations of John and Robert Kennedy, Martin Luther King and Malcolm X! Black and white through color and on to 3d flat screen TVs. Albums, 8 Track, Cassets, CDs, digital and cloud media!

32 years for me, plus wife and a 9 month old. I needed a truck that I could put a rear facing child seat in that did touch the back of the drivers seat. Being 6'4 I couldn't find many vehicles that fit that criteria. I have only ever owned Jeep Grand Cherokees, but they aren't known for their rear legroom. I still plan on buying a new Jeep because the Armada isn't as nimble off road.

I am 25 over here. I wanted something that could tow a lot and does not dip in the back while towing. My family owns a auto shop in LA and Lancaster. I needed the Armada to transport cars on trailers almost every weekend.
I am lovin my Armada everytime I drive it or look at it
:D

47 and bought it because my Pathfinder was struggling to pull my snowmobile trailer up and down the mountain roads.

48 next month, but I just sold my Armada:( Couldn't justify the $600 per month in gas any longer.
