Traded in my Xterra for an 06 SE-OR a few weeks ago. Needed a vehicle with more room and an automatic for the co-driver. Should have posted back then, but we've been enjoying driving and had less keyboard time.
With little more than 200 miles on the odometer, we took the Armada off-road. Really impressive. On a tough trail requiring 4wd-low range, the truck powered through some rough sections. Got a small scratch on the front skid plate, but otherwise there was enuf ground clearance.
I've had 4x4's since 1983. Considering the size of the Armada and 'stock' equipment, it's gotta be best in class off-road. Way beyond the mall-crawlers that creep over the speed bumps!
There's no problem with the 75 mph speed limits on the area parkways either. The Xterra was running out of reserve power under those conditions. Not so with the V8!
Bought my first Datsun in 1967 - they've come a long way...
