2010 Nissan Armada Platinum Review - AutoGuide.com
When King Philip II of Spain, decided to invade England in 1588, to depose Elizabeth I, he elected to do it with a fleet of ships 130 strong – the Spanish Armada. Demoralized and exhausted the Armada planned a long route for home, around Britain and into the Atlantic, chased by the British. Power for the Armada comes from a 5. 6L V8 making 317-hp and 385 ft-lbs of torque – an E85 flex fuel engine is available 2. 2WD models can tow 6,500 lbs, with 4WD trim levels offering a 9,000 lb tow rating. For those Armadas not ordered with a tow package, Nissan offers a frame mounted &-pin connector for either Class III or IV hitches. A different kind of Armada, a four-wheeled leviathan built by Nissan, has arguably been more successful. In a decade that has seen many go from riches to rags, financial markets almost collapse and the auto industry rocked by economic problems, this Armada has perhaps weathered the storm better than the Spanish galleons of old, though it is now... MASSIVE ATTACK When launched in 2003, as a ’04 model, the Armada stood out by a mile. Source: www.autoguide.com
