I'm happy with are..mada. The QX is little more luxurious, but you can get an armada with the LE trim and get all the bells and whistles ( leather, sunroof, navigation, bose/DVD, etc) . I have an SE-OFF ROAD model. The only thing mine missing from LE model is the sunroof and navigation. Gas is predictable with the 5.6L, so if you're worried about that this big boy is not for you. The reason we bought ours was for the 3 boys and their surf gear. We had an Xterra first but 3 kids with gear it was not doing the job with comfort. We still kept the X, and with my experience with Nissan's I like their quality. If you really want some knowledge visit clubarmada.com.
