Other Choices:

The 2008 Nissan Armada is still one of the best-looking full-size SUVs, but in performance, there are several better options. The Armada's city fuel economy rating of only 12 mpg makes it one of the biggest gas guzzlers, even among full-size SUVs. GM's full-size SUVs, including the Tahoe, were completely redesigned for 2007 and have much better handling, roomier interiors, and more fuel-efficient powertrains while still being as responsive. Ford's Expedition has an especially well-designed interior, though its performance lags other competitors. And the Toyota Sequoia is worth consideration, though it's new for the 2008 model year. And for those looking for a more affordable choice, Dodge's Durango is almost as large as these full-size SUVs and offers comparable towing ability for a bargain price.
