The 2017 Nissan Armada SL with the 5.6L V8 and Rear-Wheel Drive (RWD) is a "desert cruiser" that feels right at home on the long, wide-open stretches of I-10, though it comes with some specific trade-offs for life in the Borderland. The Endurance V8: The $390\text{ hp}$ and $394\text{ lb-ft}$ of torque are more than enough to tackle the Transmountain Road (Loop 375) climb without breaking a sweat. Its naturally aspirated, so while it loses a tiny bit of punch at El Paso's $3,700\text{ ft}$ elevation compared to sea level, its still incredibly powerful. The 2017 redesign emphasized "quick interior cooling." In our $100^\circ\text{F}+$ summers, the SL trims dual-zone climate control and powerful AC system are top-tier. Since El Paso rarely sees snow or ice (and is mostly flat once you're off the mountains), RWD is perfectly sufficient. You'll save a little on maintenance and weight compared to the 4WD version, though you'll want to be careful if you take it out to the sandy areas of Red Sands heavy RWD SUVs can dig in quickly. Leather Everywhere: Heated leather seats are standard. (Note: They can get very hot in the Sun City sun; a windshield sunshade is mandatory). Tech: It comes with an 8-inch touchscreen, navigation, and a 13-speaker Bose audio system, which is great for drowning out road noise on long drives. Around View Monitor: This is the "killer app" for El Paso. The Armada is huge; having a 360-degree camera makes parking in tight Downtown or UTEP-area spots much less stressful. Battery Life: The desert heat kills batteries. In a vehicle with this much tech (Bose, power liftgate, 360-cameras), expect to replace your battery every 23 years regardless of what the warranty says. Tires: With $394\text{ lb-ft}$ of torque and RWD, the rear tires can wear quickly if you have a "lead foot" at green lights. The "2017 Quirk": Some early 2017 models had issues with the high-pressure fuel pump or "knocking" sounds in the engine block. If you are buying one used, ensure the service records show regular oil changes and check for any powertrain recalls. It's a fantastic, reliable family hauler for El Paso if you prioritize comfort and space over fuel economy. It handles the heat and the hills with ease, but its definitely a "thirsty" companion.
