Armada Intelligent 4x4

When the road ends, the adventure begins
Out here, everything has to perform in a big way. A mighty Endurance® V8 engine powers Armada forward while an advanced 4WD system distributes that power to help keep you going, even when the going gets grueling. And should you ever feel stuck, an Active Brake Limited Slip system can step in to help get torque to the wheels with the best traction. But what’s power without control? That’s why Armada is equipped with a Drive Mode Selector to help keep you on top of the action, whether it’s conquering that hill climb, or dominating rocky trails. Armada. Its adventurous feats are only the beginning.[1, 2]
Drive Mode Selector Welcome to the ultimate tool kit for off-roaders. With four modes, you have nearly infinite ways to push your limits. Select Auto Mode for everyday driving. When the roads get dicier, switch to 4H Lock. Ready to climb? 4L Lock helps you maneuver steep trails with ease. And should the weather change, Snow Mode can help you stay in control on wet or icy surfaces.[2]
Auto Mode It doesn’t get any easier than this. The system not only offers the near-perfect balance in most situations, it also lets you operate in 2WD for better fuel economy. When Auto Mode detects wheel slippage, it switches to 4WD, sending power to the front and rear wheels. By automatically adjusting, you get the best of both worlds – the efficiency of 2WD and the traction of 4WD.[1, 2]
4H Lock Locks Armada into 4WD, splitting the torque 50/50 between the front and rear wheels, giving you twice the traction to forge ahead. Ideal when “roads” get a little rougher.[1, 2]
4L Lock Severe terrain ahead? This mode locks Armada into 4WD and engages the low range gear so you get that extra oomph to pull you over a gravelly hill or out of a mud pit. Reduced throttle sensitivity helps give you more control while the added bonus of engine braking can help keep your speed in check while navigating down complex hills. The best choice when you need slow and steady.[1, 2]
Snow Mode No two weather days are ever alike. Conditions always vary widely. Select Snow Mode and Armada can adapt to snowy, icy and wet road surfaces with a number of counter measures. It uses a higher gear to make the throttle less sensitive for more predictable acceleration, and increases steering weight for a higher feeling of control. 4WD models offer the added benefit of maximum traction when moving from a standstill. Yet whether you drive a 2WD or 4WD Armada, the end result is confidence – on even the worst days of winter.[1]
Keep your momentum
Active Brake Limited Slip Sometimes the terrain works against you. In those situations, Active Brake Limited Slip can sense wheel spin and apply braking pressure to the slipping wheel, redirecting power to the wheels that need it most. So you keep making progress without losing ground.
Hill Start Assist When you’re starting from a stop on an incline, hill start assist applies brake pressure for a few moments after you release the brake pedal to help prevent any roll back before moving forward. This technology can help you feel secure to carry out a more successful hill start.
