The Armada is the worst of the full size SUV's for towing. Its suspension is way too soft and under-damped. Power is good. Transmission was pretty nice too. But even with just a heavy load in the back, it got excessively floaty on highway, with excessive squat. I went into the Armada for work after 6 weeks in a Ford Flex, and the Flex handled 1,500 payloads far better. (Note, I realize the Flex is not in the same class, and can't tow as much, which is kinda my point.... The Armada should have hauled weighed much better)
