It was going to be so easy- test drove all the gorillas in this class (everyone of them) and it was Toyota Sequoia by MANY lengths. Armada not even on radar screen.
THEN- on a lark- test drove Armada- WOW- I can't say the Toy is any less- just different- Armada - more brutish and far better looking AND has the floor mounted shifter instead of every other truck, including Toy, that has the column shifter from my great grandfather's days.
But- guys- come on- how can I choose the Armada with all the s**t about it? I own a fx45 now and I love it but I have gone through several brake "jobs" and the steering wheel shakes violently on rough surfaces. Yet the fX seems infinitely more reliable than the Armada from what I am gathering from this and other boards.
I am nervous about spending most of my time in car in the dealer service lot- otherwise its the Armada over the Toy. Am I being too wimpy here? Help.
