They are a hidden Gem. Throw a Turbo on them like people from Dubai and make 1000+ HP.
Patrol is the Master Race

I love our 2018 Armada it's only 2wd but it hauls ass for a big SUV. Butt dyno says it's faster than my parent's ecoboosted Expedition. I love the VK56DE and the VK56VD Nissan V8s. Double overhead cams with variable valve timing. The 2017+ Armadas have direct injection and the same engine was in the 2011+ QX80. So, it's an engine that's been around for awhile now.
My wife can get 20 mpg hwy and I end up around 18 mpg. This guy does an engine teardown of one that was abused.  OIL IS CHEAPER! Nissan Titan 5.6L V8 VK56DE Engine Teardown. I Can't Believe This Stayed Together! |

Sure they’re not built in Smyrna?
I thought all the Infinity’s were Japanese built and all the Nissan’s were US or Mexican? |

Some Nissan branded models are still made in Japan. All Nissan trucks are currently made in Mississippi along with the Altima, Murano and NV Van. I got to see the last of the XTerra roll through the paint plant. Wish it was the Murano. I hate those things. |

How do you like it/how has it held up? Just got my wife a 2020 QX60 and while we have driven Acuras for the last decade, we went with the QX this time. Interested in any experience with Infinity SUVs (Midcap/others were very helpful in my thread). |

Shhhhhhh. Don't let the secret out. I've been looking at the 2020s. Horrible gas mileage, but great engine and transmission. I don't drive too many miles per year and I would likely keep my current Camry.

Also certain features are more available on one vs the other (my wife really wanted a heated steering wheel, which was much easier to find on the QX vs MDX). Just some real world feedback for those out there contemplating Infinity/Nissan. |

We bought a new 2013 Infiniti QX56 with that monster motor and awesome interior. Still have it. Gets 16-17 mpg. Easily the best vehicle we’ve ever owned or traveled in. Never had any maintenance issues.

Bought one new in 2014, 4x4, still my daily driver with almost 140,000. Needed something big at the time, family of five doing all sorts of things. Pulled a big boat around every summer for six or seven years, many trips from Oklahoma to Colorado, Alabama beaches, Wyoming now and then. Been a good vehicle so far.

I have $7,000 that I can put down on a uses vehicle and pay it off in 3 years. It would take me way way way to long to save up another $6,000 like almost a year amd in the mean time I don't have a vehicle at all |
