Overview : Once a standout, the Armada is now a bit of an also-ran thanks to rivals sporting newer and better technology. It’s powered by a 317-hp V-8 with a five-speed automatic and either rear- or four-wheel drive. Its 9000-lb tow rating puts it at the top of the class and the independent rear suspension delivers a decent ride. The Armada is roomy and comfortable for up to eight but its interior is bland and, like the rest of the ute, screaming for a redesign. An all-new Armada goes on sale this summer.
