Tow Vehicle Nissan Armada

Start by reading up, this is a good place to start: clicky

I looked at Armadas earlier this year and didn’t like them. The interior felt cheap and already had parts loose.

It can do the job, I am sure. I’d just want some more wheelbase and some more payload.

Thanks!

The Armadas payload is between 1500 to just over 1700 pounds before any options are included, no passengers or cargo. As Jebby14 noted, it will probably be tourlimiting factor.

That being said, I towed a 3500# tt for years with a mid sized suv and never had an issue. I was probably right at the payload. It was a much shorter trailer, though, with a 17’ box.

I would look at the Armada, paying close attention to the payload on the individual vehicles. When you shop for the trailer, understand your limitations.

Btw, I upgraded to a pickup and am amazed by the towing difference. While a pickup is still not my first choice, and I miss my suv, it’s hard to argue with their capabilities.

payload (look in door for it, towing capacity means nothing) - weight of everybody/everything in the car - 80-100 lbs for a weight distributing hitch = whats left for tongue weight.

Loaded trailer weight (not dry weight this number also means nothing) x 0.15 = tongue weight. I suspect you are going to be over payload but you need to run the numbers. good luck.
