First of all welcome, second, this is a perfect timing to get a great deal on 05.brophy said:I'd first like to thank everyone for providing such a great forum and opinions. I'm considering replacing my 2k Durango (POS) with an Armada but have been reading about all the issues (brakes, etc) that people see with the Armadas. I'll admit I'm a huge Nissan fan (3 Maximas and counting) but I want to make sure I make the right decision. Are things settled on the '05s enough to go ahead and purchase one now? I'm looking to nail a great deal since it's the end of the year etc but I wanted to get your opinions first.
Thanks again!
'05 is fine. I'd have the dealer install the new brake parts before you take delivery. Since they are under warranty, he can write them off anyway.

either way its a matter pf preference and convenience for you and the family, good luckbrophy said:Thanks guys! Anything else I should be aware of or look for? What are your thoughts on captain chairs vs the 2nd row bench seat. We were thinking of going w/ captain chairs vs the bench seat to allow easier access to the 3rd row for our kids.
You won't regret it. We traded a 99 Durango for our Armada, there is no comparison.brophy said:I'd first like to thank everyone for providing such a great forum and opinions.

Armada's after May '05 should have the new brakes. Check the manufacturing date. Even if it doesn't they will fix them free under warranty. Get a smokin' deal and don't look back. It's a great truck.brophy said:I'd first like to thank everyone for providing such a great forum and opinions.

If the kids are still young enough to be in car seats, then I would say definitely go with the captains chairs. You can't tilt the seats foward with car seats strapped in. That way you can remove the center console for easier access to the rear seats.brophy said:Thanks guys! Anything else I should be aware of or look for?
