Hello everyone - here's my first impressions of my new ride. I traded in my 2015 Ford F150 Platinum 4x4 Super Crew for this Armada. My first road trip this week was from Phoenix to Tucson and back are the basis for this.
1. Smooth and powerful. The downshifts are a little slow - but once in the right gear this thing really hooks up.
2. Headlights are awesome.
3. It's a different look. Most everyone on the freeway would briefly pause and look at my Armada before passing by - not sure if that's good or bad.
4. The moon roof is pretty small.
5. Gas Mileage was 19.5 at 80 MPH - that's better than the F150 I had.
6. Gas tank is not big enough - I got spoiled with the 36 gal tank I had on the F150
7. A ton of buttons - but appreciated them once I learned them all.
8. Bluetooth worked great along with the Bose sound system.
9. I like the Nav better in the Armada better than what was in my F150 - even though it doesn't have Apple CarPlay
10. Turning radius is awesome
11. Very tight - no rattles, squeaks, etc.. no matter how rough the road was. much better than the 5-6 Yukon Denali's I test drove before buying this Armada
12. I really like the looks of the vehicle overall - inside/outside, etc..
13. The cabin lighting is a little yellowish when turned on - my F150 came with LEDs everywhere.
14. The Engine and Transmission are so smooth - good combination
15. My wife commented that she really likes this SUV - she normally doesn't say too much about the vehicles I buy - I've had about 25-30 different vehicles - all purchased new - all brands except dodge/chrysler.
16. Really love all the safety features this thing has - and they work really well. I think I've tested every one of them (accidentally and on purpose) already.
I'll post some pictures once I get a chance to.
