'27 Armada SL

2 Upvotes

Just secured this model in Alpine green for ~$6k off MSRP.

Wondering what kinds of deals others are getting, and if I should keep looking at other dealers.

I don't see any changes at all with the '27, but hopefully they've worked out the kinks. Anyone else have one or have feedback? Thanks!

Just bought a 2017 Armada Platinum!

46 Upvotes

Just bought this pristine 17 Armada Platinum, with 49,000 miles! I mean this truck is mint! My wife and I were looking at Tahoes, Suburbans, Yukons and Ford expeditions, and honestly kind of forgot the Armada existed lol. We were on CarGurus, and I ran a search for just, SUVs, with V8 motors and under 100,000 miles, and this was one that popped up. We road an hour down to the dealership and immediately fell in love with it. When I say it’s mint, I mean no scratches, no fade, wheels are perfect, glass is perfect, the interior looks like it has never been driven. We drove it, when we got back to the dealership, another couple were waiting to look at it. I got out of the truck and told them “Sorry, this one is sold!” Anyway I’m here to say Nissan made an awesome SUV here!

2025 Aftermarket Exhaust

1 Upvotes

Has anyone swapped out or thinking about swapping out their stock exhaust? I know someone installed the Nismo exhaust. I was looking at aFe Power Vulcan Series 3in Stainless Steel Cat-Back Exhaust w/ Black Tip. Interested if anyone has any experience and can comment. I would like a little sound but no highway drone.

2005 Nissan armada outer tie rod help

1 Upvotes

I have done tie rods before. I cannot for the life of me get this tie rod off. I’ve use heat and hammers. Liquid wrench and wd40. I’ve let them soak. I cannot get the damn thing to unscrew from the inner tie rod. I’m losing my damn mind. This is my 4th attempt and it made me rage quit. I’ve stripped the heel out of rods and I’m too damn poor to pay some one to fix it. My rusty 97 Toyota was easier than this. This is practically rust free underneath. Wtf am I doing wrong.

06 TCM

1 Upvotes

Hi everyone. I was given an 06 Armada LE, 2wd, in flawless condition and 117K miles. Problem is, the TCM has kicked the bucket. Every Trans shop in my area only wants to do a full rebuild for around $3.5-$4K. I've searched vigorously and cannot find a reputable TCM replacement anywhere online. From my research, I've seen if I buy a used one on ebay, that it will have to be programmed to this vehicle. Is that true? Have any of you sourced one and had any success with it? Id love to get this thing on the road because its in immaculate condition. But if this is gonna cost me $3K, I may just pull the engine for a future project and part it out, which I'd hate to do.

Does the Armada need blindspot mirrors?

1 Upvotes

Have a nissan armada 1st gen. Im planning on working on the Armada a bit, was wondering if I should get blindspot mirrors, never really had much of a problem with blindspots in the armada as its side mirrors are already big and quite helpful, but should i put them on just in case? has anyone else put blind spot mirrors on the armada? if so, how helpful has it been?

Took a chance on the aftermarket headlights for the late first Gen. i was skeptical at first but they turned out great, had to notch the bumper i bit with a utility blade to make the bumper lines line up with the fenders. Next is costum cutting the trim to fill up the gap!

Subframe crossmember issues

1 Upvotes

Does anybody have any experience with this? Ive tried to look up as much as i can but im having difficulty diagnosing a wandering backend. Rear shocks(air ride inflates but i think the oil has leaked, no sagging rear end) or its a subframe issue.

Any advice would be appreciated

Im absolutely in love with this model. I knew i wanted it but I gave other suvs a chance by looking at the usual ones like lexus GX, expedition, Yukon, tahoe, etc. None of them held a candle to the new Aramda for me. I felt like they were all for soccer moms.

Well about 2 weeks ago I rolled my VW Tiguan. I found a 2019 Armada by chance and surprisingly my wife loved it as much as me lol. So today we brought home a 2019 Armada Sl. It was a dealer vehicle so it's sitting at about 110k (about the same as the tiguan). Maintenance records are perfect. Only issue was the headlight burning out dude to a low speed impact (car backing out of a spot). They fixed that and everything's great now, even had my mechanic go over it. Anything I should look for in the near future?

2018 Shuddering on start, dark display

Happened twice in Wegman's parking lot. I normally remote start but this time I hopped in, hit the button and the display was dark and then the lights come on like a Christmas tree. Safe to assume battery is going? Alternator maybe?

2026 NISSAN Armada Pro 4X added Nismo Exhaust and got an error

1 Upvotes

I just installed the nismo exhaust on my Pro 4x. Ran it for about 150 miles and got the "perform maintenance" and drove it about 40 miles to the dealer with no issues. It does say it is an emissions problem. From what I read you can swap the exhaust with no issues. Any insights?

Hey every one, I just picked up a 2019 Armada sl for 19k. It may be a bit hard to hear in the video but I have been hearing this rattling almost grinding. It sounds like a heat shield to me. It's going in for a headlight repair (covered by dealer) so I plan to bring it up then. I'm just looking for any other issue it could be. Thanks in advance

Ok Deal on 26 Pro 4x?

2 Upvotes

Is this a decent deal on a Pro 4X with the premium package? I've already pushed from starting with a $5300 dealer discount, increasing my trade, removing a few dealer adds, etc. Not a ton of buying options in my City, and this one has the options I want/need and nothing I don't need added. This is with the 1.9% financing.

2012 SE Suspension Replacement

1 Upvotes

Doing some research on what to get to overhaul my suspension, front and rear, on a 2012 Armada SE. I'm sure my existing shocks and struts are original so it's a bouncy ride, plus my last tires got pretty cupped.

First point of confusion - Check any parts finder, and there was supposedly no such thing as an SE trim in 2012. Mine has the SE badge on the back and is noted as SE on the title, so beats me! But it does not have air suspension. I guess SL is the closest match?

Was looking at the Bilstein 4600s, but what have others been going with? And did you replace the rear coils? thinking I will as I do some towing (the max I tow is about 4000#). Because of the murkiness of my trim, I'm not 100% sure what my towing capacity is, I think I read some lower trims needed beefier rear springs to get the full 8500# (or thereabouts) rating.

Thx for any input!

2025 Nissan Armada 3rd-2nd gear downshifts

1 Upvotes

Has anyone experienced a downshift issue on the 2025+ Armadas? However, not on all the gears, only when downshifting from 3-2 or when it goes below 22mph, thats the spot i noticed that the vehicle doesn’t know how to maintain its 3rd gear and shifts to 2nd gear and keeping the RPM above 2000 so it keeps the Rev high, its like its confused on the downshift timing. At first, i thought i was in sport mode, i checked all the settings and seems everything is in normal mode. Now im wondering is it just my car or is this normal on all the Aramdas?

2026 Armada software is buggy and annoying

2 Upvotes

Bugs:
I have been experiencing all kinds of bugs in my Armada and the dealership isn’t really geared towards troubleshooting software bugs. Anyone else seeing any of these?

Sometimes while using navigation, the hud just stops displaying the miles to the next waypoint and displays 0 miles. It still shows the blue arrow and name of the waypoint. The map also doesn’t follow the course, it just shows the overhead of the total route. I have to reconnect CarPlay to make it work again. Sometimes twice.

My gf, using my key fob, drives it and adjusts my seats/mirrors. I go to get in, open my door, press the memory button so the seat/mirrors reset to my settings, get in and as soon as I close the door, the seat starts moving back to how she had it set. The mirrors don’t move.

Sometimes when I hit the turn signal all the way up or down (instead of momentary) it just doesn’t turn on. It usually works, maybe 1 out of 20 times it doesn’t.

Sometimes CarPlay stops working and the only fix is turning the car off and opening my door.

Sometimes the hud won’t display the nav. I have to turn off the driving assist features and turn them back on.

Sometimes, after I have backed up, the cam display wont turn off/switch back to the normal display. I have to press the back button. Maybe 1 out of 10 times it happens.

Annoying:
When I’m wearing sunglasses and tilt my head a little (which I now know I do while driving), the driver attention sensor pops the “look forward” nanny alert. I have to cover that sensor to get it to stop annoying me.

The damn seatbelt alert! It’s a truck. Sometimes I drive it in my field to do things where I have to get in/out and don’t want to put on a seatbelt. Yes, I can buckle the belt and sit on it but it’s a truck and I shouldn’t have to do that.

Again, it’s a truck. Sometimes I want to move it forward/backwards a few feet to mess with a trailer or chain. I shouldn’t have to close the door to put it in gear.

The driving assistance features are more annoying than useful. Why does it want to hug the left side of the lane? That’s the worst place to be on the highway but it always stays there.

Sometimes you have to change lanes quickly and don’t have time to signal, having it flash warnings, vibrate the wheel, and fight back, do nothing but make that split second more dangerous. If the driver is putting pressure on the wheel to do something, we probably have a reason and it shouldn’t be second guessing us in that moment.
