The Armada was my least favorite work vehicle last year. The engine is too loud and handling is clumsy. And the seats were completely unsupportive.
I didn't tow with it, it in sure power is adequate. Unloaded its quick.
Carrying capability was disappointing. I went to the Armada from a Flex, and the Flex drove the same even when loaded up with 2,200 pounds. The Armada with 1,500 pounds was squatting pretty good, and handling was noticably worse.
For a new SUV, the Expediton can't be beat. Beware it still has payload limitations, as does any half ton.
