Hello to all fellow Armada drivers….
I purchased my 2006 Armada in January or this year after my trusty Diesel Suburban finally bit the dust. As a die hard car and truck guy I test drove the Toyota Sequoia, GMC Denali and Dodge Durango and was totally sold on the Armada. The best by far. I have put 6300 miles on it already with a road trip to St.Louis and back from Boston, MA.
Modifications include a custom fabricated front receiver hitch for my Snowsport Plow, Stainless Steel throaty turbo Muffler, Titan Wheels, Mickey Thompson ATX tires and dual Thule bike racks. The thing that sold me the most was the horsepower and torque from that big all aluminum V8 and the towing capacity as I have a car hauler trailer.
I bought off road badges for it also. This thing really likes to go fast and so far I have tallied 2 speeding tickets, the first in 10 years. An Escort Passport Radar detector stopped that.
It’s nice to see this Armada group online. Wish I would see more of these beasts on the road in Massachusetts; they are few and far between. Only question I have is are there any replacements for those crappy running boards?
See ya soon!
