Default Nissan Armada or infinity qx56 owners???

I'm thinking in purchasing either of these two for my wife and get rid of the dodge ram 1500 we have now.

Are they reliable?

How bad are they on gas?

How is the ride and comfort?

The company's name is Infiniti.

They're both Nissan's, so they're fairly reliable.

Terrible on gas.

The QX56 has some more creature comforts, but is essentially a jumped up Armada.

Hope this helps.

The qx is super comfy and can cruise at about 95 no problems. My Godfather has one and I followed him down to VA.TECH one day...and looked down on my speedo and noticed we were doing 90+ for about 30miles

2 kids.....

Is there a need for a big truck. Good question!!!! I need something that is capable of towing a car trailor, comfort for the kids, safe, some what good on gas, and doesn't look like poo.

I'm in the Coast Guard and every four years we pretty much have to transfer somewhere and move all our crap. Thus the need for something that can tow.

My wife has been wanting an armada since they first came out. I am thinking in getting her what she's been wanting for a long time. I always get what ever toy I want and maybe is time she got to pick up hers. The QX56 would be even better if I could get one for under 25k.

If my memory serves me right, I think both trucks along with the Titan have problems with the brakes. That problem should be fixed in the newer models. Just make sure with the older models.
