Armada engine, transmission and efficiency

Works harder—and smarter

Innovative engineering

The 5.6-liter Direct Injection Gasoline V8 features dual overhead cams, 32 valves, and an innovative VVEL valve control that enhances throttle response as well as fuel economy. [[1344]] What does that mean for you? Plenty of passing power and an impressive 8,500-lb. maximum towing capacity.[[114]]

A smarter, smoother ride

A 7-speed automatic transmission with Adaptive Shift Control and Downshift Rev Matching also includes wider gear ratios, automatic transmission fluid warmer, and idle neutral control. That means more power at low speeds and a quiet engine at high speeds.

Intelligent All-Wheel Drive

With available I-AWD, Armada automatically adjusts for better traction to help maintain grip on rain-soaked or snow-slicked roads. [[2520]][[2343]]The benefit to you? Feeling empowered with a greater sense of control in all seasons.

Drive selector

Take your off-roading to a new level with three driving modes from the Armada: Auto 4WD for inceased fuel economy, 4H, for your off-road travels, and 4L, for when those roads end.

4-Wheel Drive

Armada's 4WD is so advanced, it responds to changing road conditions and continuously adjusts the amount of power distributed to each axle to help maintain control. The system automatically switches to 4WD to improve traction on lower friction surfaces, and switches back to 2WD for optimal fuel economy when more traction is available. [[1344]]

Active Brake Limited Slip system

To help you maintain traction when the terrain is working against you, the Active Brake Limited Slip (ABLS) system senses wheelspin and applies braking pressure to the slipping wheel, while redirecting power to the wheels with the best traction.

Hill Start Assist

Works on the uphill swing to help prevent rolling backward when you’re starting from a stop on an incline. This system applies brakes for a few moments, allowing you time to switch from the brake pedal to the accelerator.
