Summary: In an era of global warming and expensive gas, it's easy to forget that some people actually need a full-size SUV. While the popularity of large SUVs wanes as gas prices wax, the Nissan Armada soldiers on, offering rugged, truck-based capabilities on a grand scale. Room for eight people and their luggage, available four-wheel drive, a 9,100-pound tow rating and a powerful V8 make the Nissan Armada a conveyance to be reckoned with for big families looking for big adventures.
