2017 Nissan Armada

 
 
  The all-new Armada is built on the heritage of the Nissan Patrol, which has been a workhorse for the world for many decades. While it is intended primarily for family adventures here in North America, Armada remains true to its roots as a strong, durable and authentic full-size, 8-passenger SUV. As part of its adventure-ready spirit, the new Armada offers standard towing capacity of 8,500 pounds for both 4WD and 2WD models (when properly equipped).

  Armada's redesigned body features an aggressive stance with bold V-motion front grille and standard LED low-beam headlights and signature LED Daytime Running Lights – maintaining the previous generation's rugged, athletic image but with added contemporary style. In the rear, bold combination lights include LED taillights.

Inside, the 2017 Nissan Armada sees a lot of upgrade, remaining spacious and accommodating, but adding comfort and standard convenience technologies to bring the big SUV up to date. Acoustic glass and some added sound absorption improve the interior's noise levels on the road and while idling.

Nissan Winter Warrior

  I had the chance to attend the Chicago Auto Show a couple weeks back and was able to see the Nissan Winter Warrior up close and personal. All I can say is WOW! I was glad I was able to get a picture without anyone it.


  A good set of Blizzaks are great for winter but a set of 121-inch long Dominator treads are better. With the Rogue, Murano and Pathfinder outfitted with the treads, the trio looks better suited for an expedition through Siberia than the stuff Nissan's SUV's are used to.
  The modifications made to fit the treads are relatively simple. Certain body parts needed to be removed, like side sills and wheel arches, but the vehicles still rely on unmodified powertrains. Because of the meatiness of the treads, the suspension had to be tweaked. On top of the tire replacements, Nissan's team of engineers have loaded the Winter Warriors with a variety of accessories including cargo area protectors, roof rail crossbars, all-season floor mats and rear bumper protectors. For those hardcore winter camping enthusiasts, each Winter Warrior features a 9x9-foot hatch. Nissan Design America (NDA) created identical, custom matte red-chrome body wraps that features a unique "track" design and Nissan's "Winter Warrior" signage.
 
 With a solid Nissan foundation and exception ground clearance, these Winter Warriors are anything but ordinary. They are serious, extreme weather machines, not toys. But they are just as fun to drive as any of Nissan's family adventure ready Pathfinders, Rogues and Muranos.
