Not impressed at all. Could never recommend.
I rented this vehicle for an evening to shuttle some elderly folks to a local event. There were numerous issues with the Armada. After one of the passengers lowered he window, she could not raise it again. We checked all window locks. Regardless of the settings, this window could not be raised. The door controls for locking, raising and lowering windows, and adjusting mirrors are made of very thin plastic. These are unlikely to survive the normal usage of a typical family. For the driver, the visibility is poor. There are some major blind spots with the Armada that obscure vehicles in the adjacent lane from sight. With the climate controls, there is no way to simply turn the fans off. You can change the speed, but you cannot simply turn them off. The fuel economy is non-existent and probably not a design factor for the Armada. When I told the rental company about a check engine indicator, they said this was typical in the Armada and that they had serviced the vehicle prior to my pick-up. While it is likely that the service was below-par, this simply added to the overall impression of a poorly designed vehicle that was not built with longevity in mind. For the price tag, I could never recommend this vehicle.

Traded a 2010 Armada for a 2018 Armada
I loved my 2010 Armada Platinum so much I upgraded to a newer 2018 Armada Platinum. Never even considered another SUV. The upgrades in the 2018 are far superior to my old Armada. Ride is awesome, very luxurious and plenty of room for the entire family! Extremely pleased and happy with my new purchase. Platinum edition is definitely worth the extra $.

I love everything about this car
We’re a family of 5 and travel often for gymnastics meets and softball. This car is everything I had hoped for in a car and more. Lots of room for luggage, passengers, car seats etc. Smooth comfortable ride, lots of safety features.

I love the luxurious versatility!
This car has everything I need to keep my wife and 3 kids happy. Luxury seating, quiet comfortable ride and all the safety features we could want. We got a 2018 Platinum for 40k and feel we got a great deal.

Great all-around SUV for family
Great vehicle for our family. Comfortable, stylish, and has ample cargo space. Very happy with it overall. Only complaint is that gas mileage seems to be a little less than other comparable SUVs such as Ford Explorer or Toyota Sequoia and it does not come with blind side detection in the SV (lowest) trim.

Very good value for the money.
Meets all of our needs. Drives like a luxury SUV, but costs less money than almost all of their competitors. Better value than Toyota, Ford, or Chevy.
