Stock #1893 is available now, so don't wait if you want to see it in person.2018 Nissan Armada Performance and Engine5.6-Liter V8 — Built for the Long HaulThe heart of this Armada is Nissan's proven 5.6-liter Endurance V8, an engine shared with the Titan pickup truck and the INFINITI QX80. It produces 390 horsepower and 394 lb-ft of torque, giving this SUV a maximum tow rating of up to 8,500 pounds. That kind of capability is genuinely useful in Central California — whether you're pulling a boat to Pine Flat Lake or towing a horse trailer out to the valley foothills.
The 7-speed automatic transmission with synchronized rev control delivers smooth, confident shifts under load, and the 4WD drivetrain means you're covered when the terrain gets unpredictable. Snow trips to Shaver Lake or Bass Lake become a lot less stressful when you've got real four-wheel drive underneath you.Nissan Armada Platinum Features and InteriorWhat the Platinum Trim AddsThe Platinum is the top-of-the-line Armada trim, and it shows. Expect to find leather-appointed seating, a power panoramic moonroof, heated and ventilated front seats, heated second-row seats, and a premium Bose audio system with multiple speakers throughout the cabin. The Armada Platinum also comes equipped with a rear-seat entertainment system — a feature families with kids in the back seat will appreciate immediately.
Navigation, a surround-view monitor, front and rear parking sensors, and a power rear liftgate round out the tech package. The third row folds flat for cargo flexibility, and when all three rows are in use, this SUV comfortably seats eight passengers.Nissan Armada Reliability and OwnershipThe Armada has earned a reputation as a no-nonsense workhorse. Its body-on-frame construction — borrowed directly from the Nissan Titan platform — means it handles heavy use in a way that unibody crossovers simply cannot match. Owners consistently report that the V8 engine is smooth, low-maintenance, and long-lived. Common maintenance items at this mileage include transmission fluid service, spark plug inspection, and a timing chain check, all of which are routine for the platform.
J.D. Power has historically ranked the Armada above average for dependability in the large SUV segment. If you're buying used, the key things to verify are service history on the transmission fluid and any signs of deferred maintenance — both easy to check out during a test drive at T & D Auto Group.Why Buy From T & D Auto Group in Fresno, CaliforniaT & D Auto Group is a locally operated independent dealership serving Fresno and the greater Fresno County area.
