Browse New Nissan Armada Inventory Why Buy from Fort Worth Nissan Nissan Armada Research Hub

When it comes to full size SUVs in North Texas, capability is not just a luxury; it is a requirement. The 2026 Nissan Armada has been engineered to maintain its status as a heavy duty hauler while introducing a level of off-road precision never before seen in the lineup. With the debut of the Armada PRO-4X, Nissan is providing a factory-built solution for families who need to tow a horse trailer during the week and navigate rugged trails on the weekend.

Towing Performance: 8,500 Pounds of Confidence

The move to the 3.5L Twin-Turbo V6 has not compromised the Armada’s strength. In fact, the increased torque makes the 8,500 pound maximum towing capacity more accessible than ever before. Unlike the previous V8, which required high RPMs to reach peak pulling power, the 2026 model provides its maximum 516 lb-ft of torque at just 3,600 RPM.

The All-New Armada PRO-4X: Beyond the Pavement

	For the first time, the Armada joins the Frontier and Titan in offering the specialized PRO-4X trim. This is not just an appearance package; it is a mechanical overhaul designed for durability in environments like the Northwest OHV Park or rugged ranch roads. Underbody Protection: The PRO-4X features heavy-duty metal skid plates to protect the oil pan, transfer case, and fuel tank from debris. Electronic Locking Rear Differential: This allows you to lock the rear wheels together to ensure power is sent to both sides, providing critical traction when one wheel is off the ground or on a slick surface. All-Terrain Equipment: It comes standard with 20-inch black-painted aluminum wheels wrapped in 275/60R20 all-terrain tires and a 2.1-inch suspension lift via the Adaptive Electronic Air Suspension. Invisible Hood View: Part of the 3D Intelligent Around View Monitor, this technology allows you to “see through” the engine bay on the digital display to identify rocks or ruts directly in front of your tires.

Smart Towing Technology for Fort Worth Drivers

Towing through heavy Tarrant County traffic requires more than just raw power. The 2026 Armada includes an available Integrated Trailer Brake Controller, allowing you to adjust trailer braking force directly from the dashboard. Furthermore, the 9-speed transmission features optimized shift points in Tow Mode to prevent "hunting" for gears when climbing inclines or decelerating with a heavy load.
