2011 armada SL

I tow a 28' greywolf with an armada. I am impressed with the vehicle! I had a hard time finding out what people thought about this Nissan. You have to make sure it has a factory tow package!!! Look for air suspension in the back and a transmission cooler in the front. I googled what they looked like then confirmed the one I was going to purchase had this equipment. I physically crawled under the rear of the vehicle to look. ( not hard to find)Plenty of power to tow 2 adults, 5 kids, fuel and 5800 dry ( I guess about 7,500 fully loaded) AGAIN make sure it's the higher trim level with the FACTORY tow package(8500lb capacity) You must go with the SL or higher and confirm it has the tow package. Also look for an extra temp gauge on the dash for the tranny. I would prefer a 2500, but there weren't many out there that seat 7 to 8 and they were expensive with high miles. I am personally happy with this vehicle! Hope this helps someone.

Tons of pros.

Only cons it's a terrible daily driver. I went out and bought a smaller commuter car.

It has a 8" lift in front. It actually pulls really well. I do need air bags in the rear though.

Your 5ver already looks nose high. If you raise your TV bed 8 inches, I'm afraid you may be dragging your tail.

I watched a YouTube video about a guy who had a van that was lifted and he had to turn his axles around in order to raise his trailer.

My truck was the same, it had 4" lift springs to level it out, problem with it like that pulling the camper made it look like it was nose up. I put the factory springs back in and it's now level when towing, I never liked the way it looked with the nose up anyway.
