Nissan Armada 2025-2026 Owner's Manual: Basic information

WARNING

Improper loading or exceeding the recommended trailer capacity for your Nissan Armada can significantly affect handling, braking efficiency, and overall performance, potentially leading to dangerous driving conditions or accidents.

CAUTION

• Avoid towing a trailer or carrying heavy loads with your Nissan Armada until it has been driven at least 500 miles (800 km). This initial break-in period is essential to prevent premature wear or damage to the engine, drivetrain, and axle components.
• During the first 500 miles (800 km) of towing, do not exceed speeds of 50 MPH (80 km/h), and avoid rapid acceleration or full-throttle starts. This helps critical components of your Nissan Armada properly adapt to increased load conditions.
• Using premium gasoline with a minimum rating of 91 AKI (Research Octane Number 96) is highly recommended when towing with your Nissan Armada to maintain optimal engine performance.

  If lower-grade fuel is used—especially in hot weather, on steep inclines, or while towing heavy loads—engine temperature may rise, and power output may decrease due to engine protection systems activating. In such situations, avoid aggressive acceleration to protect your Nissan Armada.

Your Nissan Armada is primarily designed for transporting passengers and cargo, but it is also capable of towing when properly equipped. Keep in mind that towing adds extra stress to the engine, transmission, steering, braking, and suspension systems.

For detailed towing guidelines, refer to the official NISSAN Towing Guide (U.S. only), available at www.nissanusa.com. This resource provides comprehensive information about towing capacities and required equipment for safe trailer operation with your Nissan Armada.
