I checked out an Armada on display in a mall the other day and it looks really nice. Congrats bluelex. Looks like a tight fit on height in your garage! Can't wait to see it with those mods too.

Default tow

I'm looking for something to replace my RX300 b/c I'm looking at a 26 ft power boat that weighs 5300 lbs, the tow capacity of the RX is only 3500. Do you think the Nissan would be able to tow it?

I'm not a truck man, except for work that requires one, but the Armada is nice. I like the way the roof slants down from the rear. Makes it look different from the rest. Also, I don't understand SUV's that don't have 3rd row seats. Without 3rd row, they are just a big gas guzzling car. The Armada is a real suv...it has the seats. All it needs now is 22-24's. I'd say 22, what good is an suv with super low profile tires. 22's still have enough rubber for some utility use.
Congrats on the purchase. Hmmm, might be time for another baby.
