TCC’s Bottom Line

The 2014 Nissan Armada has grown old in a segment that has improved its technology, safety, features and fuel economy.

The 2014 Toyota Sequoia has room for eight and strong V-8 towing capacity, but it's pretty thirsty and difficult to maneuver to drive every day.

TCC Likes

Willing acceleration
Seating position
Ability to tow 9,000 pounds

Tows like a champ
Effortless V-8 power
Rides comfortably

TCC Dislikes

High ingress/egress
Poor handling
Occasional cheap plastic interior pieces

Expensive, with an inexpensive interior
Expensive, without a prestige badge
Gas mileage is low
