Among the standard items are four-wheel disc brakes with antilock, brake assist and electronic brake-force distribution electronic stability and traction control side air curtains for all three rows, and a tire-pressure monitor. The Armada has been thoughtfully equipped with ample safety features.

2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER SERIES
The base SE series comes with cloth seats leather is standard on the LE and optional on the SE. Outside of a massive plasticky center stack that houses the audio and climate controls and screams Japanese kitsch, the Armada is pretty tastefully outfitted. Both the second- and third-row benches fold flat for more cargo space. We can forgive the mediocre fuel economy in part because Nissan has lavished so much attention on turning the Armada’s cabin into a safe and inviting environment for family and friends. Even with the standard 28-gallon fuel tank, you’re likely to find yourself filling up frequently on long trips - an undesireable trait that Armada shares with its equally thirsty Detroit rivals.

The two-wheel-drive edition of the Armada is rated by the EPA at a middling 13 miles per gallon in city driving and 19 mpg on the highway the 4×4 model surrenders one mpg in highway driving. Acceleration is brisk, and the engine responds willingly to the slightest throttle provocation.Īll is not roses, however.

The engine is mated to a five-speed automatic transmission.ĭespite Armada’s two-and-a-half-ton mass, the big V-8 is more than up to the task. The only available engine in model year 2004 is a double-overhead-cam 5.6-liter V-8, a monster block that is borrowed from the Titan and in this particular application churns out 305 horsepower and 385 pounds-feet of torque. An OHV 5.3-liter V-8 is available for an additional charge. The base Tahoe ($34,955) comes with an overhead-valve 4.8-liter V-8 that produces 275 horsepower and 290 pounds-feet. An SOHC 5.4-liter V-8 is an extra-cost option. The base Expedition ($32,885 including destination) is fitted with a single-overhead-cam 4.6-liter V-8 that makes 232 horsepower and 291 pounds-feet of torque. In fact, the Armada handily outguns its domestic rivals in the power department. I didn't get a chance to take the Armada off the highway, but then most SUV buyers rarely do either.īut it’s good to know the big Nissan SUV has a towing capacity of more than 9,000 pounds, which makes it fully-competitive with popular Detroit iron in this class, including the Ford Expedition and the Chevrolet Tahoe. Helping with the compliant ride are a generous 123.2-inch wheelbase - the longest in the segment - and standard 18-inch wheels and tires. The result is a solid truck-like ride that absorbs man-size potholes on the freeways of Detroit while still providing reasonably good ride comfort, and brisk, controlled handling in most situations. Nissan backs that up with a sturdy ladder-type frame that supports a fully independent suspension, with double wishbones and coil springs at all four corners. It shares the Titan’s aggressive front-end styling and a tough-guy attitude that carries through the muscular side profile all the way to the bold rear-end graphic. The Armada - even its name sounds formidable - looks and acts the role of spoiler. Not so the Pathfinder Armada, which is the second vehicle to roll out of Nissan’s new $1.4-billion plant in Canton, Miss. The Sequoia, as good as it is, always seemed like a middle linebacker on a diet, somewhat underequipped to be playing with the pros.
2004 NISSAN PATHFINDER CRACK
The 2004 Pathfinder Armada, much like its sister vehicle, the 2004 Titan pickup, is the first serious attempt to crack Detroit’s stranglehold in the full-size truck market. Now, two years after the arrival of Toyota’s Sequoia, a second Japanese contender, the Pathfinder Armada, has been launched by Nissan Motor Co., and it finally seems like the Japanese mean business.
