The 2006 Nissan Armada is part of the SUV's first generation. Equipped with a robust 5.6-liter V8 engine, it produces 305 hp and 385 lb-ft of torque connected to a five-speed automatic transmission. This large SUV is available as rear-wheel drive, with an optional four-wheel-drive system. Two trims are available: the SE and upscale LE, both offering room for up to eight passengers. Standard equipment includes dual-zone climate control, in-dash CD changer, rear parking sensors, and power-adjustable pedals. The LE adds leather seating, front parking sensors, and a power liftgate. Noteworthy is the Armada's towing capacity of up to 9100 lbs. While it does not feature the latest infotainment technology, its size and power make it a solid choice for those in need of a hefty, functional SUV.
