Nissan SUV's
By Stuart Simpson
I just got back from the Memphis International Auto Show. They had a wide selection of all the best cars and trucks available. I got to spend time in the Nissan trucks without being prodded by sales people.
Of course, the Armada was my favorite. It seemed to have everything. Big 305hp engine, 5-speed automatic, aluminum wheels, running boards and even a rear sonar system was standard. Some of the neat frills and options I would have selected were the chrome grill, auto-leveling suspension and the power tailgate. Apart from the price, this was the flagship from Nissan.
The Pathfinder has been around for a while in name only because this Nissan has been completely redesigned. Its much more luxurious and modern on the interior, but still has ample power and features you’d expect from an SUV.
The Xterra seemed more like a young person’s SUV. Not that I’m old . . .but it was cheaper, sure, and it has tow hooks and bumper steps as standard so you can go offloading. Don’t think I’d take my Titan off roading. Still has all the famous features including a first aid kit. This truck is for the adventurous go-getter. The bed has the util-track cargo channel like the Nissan trucks so you can tie down all your cargo. It’s a smaller truck, but it had a good feel.
The Murano is a stylish and eclectic as ever. The dash looks a bit disturbing from outside the vehicle. I noticed several people passing by with “yuck” comments, but once you got in, it looked fine
