I’m somewhat obsessed with this car this week. I don’t know why. maybe I want a quiver full of kids to tow around?

Maybe because I can get a fully loaded platinum AWD w/ captains chairs and the link for like 46k new out the door?

They should of called it the Patrol over here too.

That and offer it with real off road goodies like other parts of the world.

Personally I find it looks way better than the Infiniti version of it.

If it’s the car I’m thinking of, the Infiniti version is hideous.

I’ve driven a few. The reason they call it Armada is because it’s the size of a small fleet of ships.

On that note, I’ve noticed a lot of M-B GLKs around. Maybe it’s because there’s one in the shop for a sunroof today...

I almost had my hands on a nice ‘95 Montero SR for $1000. Was so close...

I got the Infiniti version as a rental last year. We were upgraded from a midsize SUV to a fullsize. I put a lot of highway miles on it over the span of a few days.

The mileage is turrible, but aside from that it’s fantastic. Super comfy, quiet, tons of comfort and space and it’s very quick. And yeah, the Nissan version is definitely a bargain.

I heard that engine can hustle the car in a way that no car that size should move.

The fender vents are factory cutouts for a snorkel. Symmetrical for looks, but they do actually have a function.

I really like these too. Even though it’s an older design, it still looks nice to me.

I love these trucks. Is Nissan offering a lot of deals and promotions on them right now?

I see them offering 46-48 for the Platinum AWD versions right now in quite a few places.

I might have to check them out.

We are looking at 4runners, but I would much rather have one of these if the base trim is under 39

the lights don’t fit the the rest of the truck. If they would of used taller lights it would be ok

I’m a big fan of them, but I’m hoping they release a Pro-4x version with the locker and other goodies. They already offer the locker on the Xterra, Frontier, and Titans, so they’re willing to do it.

Even without a snorkel that side draws air

Exactly, it kind of seems they are mounted too low...

You mean these are real and not just for looks.

I’m actually shocked and surprised!

Cause it looks like a QX56 only less obnoxious.
