The Nissan Armada payload is 1400lb max. Your loaded up TT will be about 8000lbs with a tongue wt of about 1040lbs. Passengers and cargo at about 500lbs. With 1540lbs on it, unfortunately your truck will be over loaded.
Unloaded weight of the trailer is 6325lbs, making loaded weight closer to 7600lbs. Tongue weight is much more like 950lbs. Going with your estimate of 500lbs cargo weight that makes 1450lbs which happens to be the payload for the 2011 Armada. Sure, it's close, so I guess time will tell if it's a problem or not.
I'm not trying to rain on your parade. Being conservative, I use the 80% rule when matching a TV with a TT. That gives me 20% or more of payload to play with for those times when extra passengers or cargo is thrown in. That's why I went with a 3/4 ton. The most limiting factor for non HD 1/2 ton TV's is payload. Be safe:)
