Default Titan and Armada go to SEMA...

I love this truck, even without the SEMA cloths...





The local dealer has a regular Armada on the lot already, the thing is huge and the interior is beautiful! Here is a few Armadas in SEMA clothing.

I see a snorkel on the intake, but not on the exhaust, trusting folks at Nissan that their truck won't stall under water.

Well you know, this is SEMA, think dress rehearsal, not an actual performance...

Yep, they're damn cool trucks. I sat in a new F150 recently, and it just didn't blow me away. The interior looks too fancy for a worktruck, but when you do the touchy-feely thing, it still feels cheap.

Didn't really like it. Now, the question is Toureag with the V10 TDI or Pathfinder Armada with gas engine?

I test drove the new F150 in an extended cab 4x4 version. The interior looked nice, more like a nice car, but the feeling of the switchgear and the overall feeling of the materials was not to my liking. Overall I was not inspired.

My local Nissan dealer has a silver Armada on the lot, it is huge! I'm trying to get over there this weekend to give it a test drive, but I may run out of free time to do so.

The door of the Armada was locked, so all I could do was peak in the window, but I really like the interior, al lot! The only thing I have reservations about is the location of the window switches. There are up high, at the same level as the bottom of the side window. If the window was down and it was raining, the water would come right in on the switchgear. Hmmm???

So far the owners that I have chatted with on the TUNFS forum are very happy. Nobody has a Titan yet, but the Armadas are out.

The Armada shares the drivetrain with the Titan. The Titan should be out in the next month; the Armada is out now.

On the TUNSF forum there is an Armada owner already and he says the performance is unbelievable.

Keep in mind the Armada weighs more than the Titan. The Armada has faster 0 to 60mph times than a Dodge full-size pickup with the hemi engine, and we aren

I think a Spa S2000 being pulled by a red one would look very nice indeed...
