The water rises - tumbling steadily across a bank, winding its way to the pavement beyond. The current is quick; the mud is thick; and you frown inside your sedan, knowing its sloping chassis will prove thoroughly unsuitable for this adventure. Itâ€™s time to turn back.

Itâ€™s also time to seek out an SUV.

Nissan believes that every terrain can be conquered - even ones soaked in river water. This is why itâ€™s paired the 2018 Armada with class-leading ground clearance, allowing drivers to roll over any obstacle with ease.

According to the Milford Mirror, the 2018 Armada dominates every road - with its massive body able to sail across each challenge. Resting on 18-inch aluminum wheels, this platform can effortlessly maneuver over rocks and rivers alike. Its extended wheelbase (121.1-inches) boasts an angled front track, which curves the 67.5-inch base upward to eliminate overhangs. The raised door arches offer 34.8-inches of lift-over height, while the double-wishbone suspension has been raised to elevate the entire chassis. This ensures both increased ground clearance and a more efficient ride, with Nissan able to bolster responses with stabilizing axles and shock absorbers.

When these elements combine they allow the 2018 Armada to achieve 9.1-inches of ground clearance - enabling drivers to rev past every terrain with the press of the pedal. The platform has been raised to ensure maximum capability and minimum underbody damage. Integrated skid plates and debris shields further enhance the experience, protecting each system from harm.
