Id get the carfax and verify history. I had a friend buy a used truck and the transmission go out along with a bunch of electrical problems. He investigated and found out it was a flood damaged truck totaled by an insurance company and then resold with lower odometer number and clean title. Sued dealer and got money back.

where is the link to the video? Most grocery gitter commuter drivers would never be able to deal with the beast you describe - or anything with a clutch pedal. My days of manual transmissions are over. Even tractors and construction gear is going electric or automatic.

watch for rust in the rocker panels under the doors and the bottom read cab corners. If it hadn't gotten rusty, Id still be driving my 2013! Thanks for comment.

Thanks. Glad you liked it!

Great truck! Keep current on oil changes so the turbos dont give you trouble.

Nope. You must be looking at a different armada. That blue metallic paint looks great and is popular. alot out there like it. We are still driving this one.

??

yea. See my recent video of my 2018 - colllision ended the 2015. The newer is a 5.0

glad to hear you found what you like. We can all have our own ideas - Merica! I know a fleet manager at a construction company who says the GM products are decent as long as you replace factory fluids and work on rust prevention. GM clutches dirty up the trans fluid and you should change your fluid more often in a GM truck. GM v8s are hard on valvetrain and you need to stick tight on oil changes. here is what I found on chat gpt hope it helps. Thanks for wathcing and commenting. Keep us honest and accurate. The GMC Yukon is a popular full-size SUV known for its spacious interior However, it has more than its share of issues. Here’s a look at some of the most frequent problems reported by owners and how to address or prevent them: 1. Transmission Issues Problem: Some Yukon owners have reported transmission problems, including hard shifts or slipping. Prevention/Fix: Regularly check and change the transmission fluid according to the manufacturer’s recommendations. If you experience issues, have a professional inspect the transmission and address any problems early to avoid costly repairs. 2. Engine Problems Problem: Engine issues such as excessive oil consumption or timing chain problems have been noted in some models. Prevention/Fix: Adhere to the recommended maintenance schedule, including regular oil changes and engine inspections. For timing chain issues, addressing any unusual noises or performance problems promptly with a mechanic can prevent more severe damage. 3. Electrical System Issues Problem: Problems with electrical systems, including issues with the infotainment system or dashboard components. Prevention/Fix: Keep the vehicle’s electrical system in check by performing regular maintenance and addressing any warning lights or malfunctioning components immediately. Updating the software for the infotainment system can also resolve some issues. 4. Suspension Wear Problem: Suspension components, such as the air suspension system (in some models), can wear out or fail. Prevention/Fix: Regularly inspect suspension components and address any signs of wear or unusual handling. Ensuring proper alignment and balancing can also extend the life of the suspension system. 5. Braking System Issues Problem: Some owners have reported issues with the braking system, including premature wear of brake pads and rotors. Prevention/Fix: Follow a regular maintenance schedule for the braking system, including checking and replacing brake pads and rotors as needed. Pay attention to any changes in braking performance and address them promptly. 6. Fuel System Problems Problem: Fuel pump issues or problems with fuel injectors have been reported in some cases. Prevention/Fix: Use high-quality fuel and ensure that the fuel system is regularly inspected and maintained. Address any fuel system-related symptoms, such as rough idling or poor acceleration, with a mechanic. 7. Cooling System Issues Problem: Cooling system failures, including radiator leaks or overheating issues, have been reported. Prevention/Fix: Regularly check coolant levels and the condition of hoses and the radiator. Flushing and replacing coolant according to the manufacturer’s schedule can help prevent overheating and other cooling system problems.

Thanks!! our relative with ford discount retired, so we are wide open. We are downsizing and may not replace till spring. And market is slow, so we will see how long for it to sell. If you see something Im wrong on, call me out. keep us all honest and accurate. I see some debate in the comments o nissan trim levels. Thanks again for compliment. Don't get that much in youtube comments.

@@52Weekends52 take a look at the Nissan Pathfinder Platinum, you will be impressed, it’s getting a minor refresh for 2025 model year

nissan is a hidden treasure. Good for us buyers. They don't advertise like crazy and it keeps their prices down and quality up

@@52Weekends52 agreed fully, you should look at 2022 or newer Nissan Pathfinders to replace your Armada, you will be impressed

THERE IS S TRIM THROUGHOUT ALL YEARS.

comment appreciated. Keep us all accurate and honest. It appears that S trim was dropped from 2010-2016, but then added back with next generation. I don't know that for sure. All comments appreciated. Could be worse. Could be a ford and we could be debating xl xlt xls lariat longhorn harley kingranch eddiebauer platinum titanium . . . . Thanks!

@@RecycledAndSaved Not according to Nissan's new vehicle brochures. I looked up a 2017, 2018 and 2019 and it shows the SV is the entry level trim. These are the factory brochures off Nissan's website for those years.

thanks for bringing this up. There are several comments on it now. It appears the confusion is that they took away S version, but then brought it back. They are offerring an S version in recent years. Comment appreciated. Keep us honest and accurate. thanks!

check out the video I just did of my 2018 f150. Im now a fan of it. thanks for comment

agreed. Wish I still had it.

I just did a video on 2018 f150 5.0 on my channel.

I love it

Agreed. The 15-17 avoid the 10speed transmission AND avoid the start stop nonsense of later models. If Im picking something to put in the dream museum with the '70 hemi cuda, '77 pontiac 455 trans-am, etc; I'd pick yours.

The start/stop is easy enough to disable a few different ways including a $99 harness that plugs in behind the switch. Also can be disabled with Forscan or by disconnecting a harness at the battery. It's really a non issue of you are buying one of those models.

As stated in video, mpg is subjective based own who is driving and where they are driving. For me personally, I get better with the 3.5 turbo. drive the same highway/city mix at same speeds and see what happens. Empty truck, or in mountain altitude - get the v6 turbo. Pulling a load, get the 5.0. If you drop the cruise to 56mph on level interstate with no load, you can pull 20mpg with the 5.0. Its subjective by driver, speed and load. thanks!

no idea what you are talking about. Where was it said?

I was with you till you said you are considering ram. Everyone I’m aware of who has bought any ram stuff after Stelantis bail out merger has been absolutely disappointed and frustrated. Be careful and let us know how that works.

If you don't care about fuel economy, then instead of F150, everyone should buy an F250 with 7.3 godzilla. Sadly, most of us have to care about money and therefore, fuel economy.

see other reply

youtubers can prove anything they want - true or not. Topgear proved that with ev stuff. Essentially, if you get in the payload and speed range where the ecoboost is optimized, it is better. But as soon as you get over that and the ecoboost starts dumping fuel to hit the speed, the 5.0 beats it. Buddy has 5.0. Pulling two snowmobiles or atvs on open trailer, the 3.5 wins. As soon as we add two more guys and an enclosed trailer for 4 sleds or atvs, the ecoboost works so hard that it doesn't stand a chance against the 5.0.

Thanks for the tip

lol. You didn’t even know there was a grab bar with the step?😂

perfect truck. If they still offered the 6 speed, i bet alot of buyers would ask for it.

going smaller doesn't seem much cheaper or save much on fuel economy to justify the lost space or cargo capacity. Toyota Tacoma holds its resale so well that you can never save enough gas to justify any fuel savings.

mileage will vary based on who is driving and how they are driving. Driving for fuel economy versus driving like you stole it to beat your buddy to the boat landing

what they offered is differeent than what is available on used market. Id love a 6.5 on the four door, but I just don't ever see used ones for sale. id bet that over 90% of f150 made since around 2013 were 4 door 5.5foot bed

they make them better against rust every year, but the trucks last longer and longer too. When I was a kid in 70's, a 10 year old pickup on the road was a unicorn - and it was all rusted out. Now, 20 year old trucks aren't that uncommon. They need to have them rustproofed for 20 years instead of 5. Tough problem to solv.e

truck is not for sale

If that is all you notice, I th no you really need to get outside.

If that were true, instead of F150, everyone should buy an F250 with 7.3 godzilla

False

no one here claims to be an expert. Just sharing what we know so others can become expert.

great so far

fuel economy. power in high altitude. Towing capacity.

And it can hurt your nee ; ) noc noc, whose there? i dont no

Agreed! Fatbikes are great. Electric assist is even greater. Still a tremendous workout, but I’m never scared that I might hold up the group. I just add more boost. If you get to wisconsin, look me up. If I get to MS I’ll come ride with you.

might be a chipmunk

no doxxing

snows almost gone here

competing with my kids. Trying to get them outside. This was footage I shot at Mount Rainer last summer.

Josh, looks like he posted something to help people get outside. Ask yourself Josh, "am I just a troll, knocking people down? people who are trying to help others?"

recorded on my phone while walking down the trail - NOT sitting in a chair on a phone in front of a tv like most seem to be now. Thanks!
