What’s new

　　For 2005, the Armada receives active head restraints and seatbelt pre-tensioners for the first row, a unique wheel finish for SE models and metallic interior accent trim for all models. A power liftgate has been added to the SE Sunroof Package while a new RearView Monitor is now included in the Technology Package.

　　

zzdcar says

　　Other than its odd proportions, the Armada sizes up favorably with its domestic competition on nearly every front.
