I’m in the market for a Armada or QX56. I found these deals in my local area. I like them both and can’t decide. Which one should I go for?

I'm debating the same thing. Looks like the 2011 has a timing chain problem so I'm leaning 2010. I can't find anything on 2010 issues if anyone knows anything please share

those two models are different generations. there are some notable improvements in the second gen over the first gen.

the "timing chain problem" is a recall paid for by infiniti.

Seems the 2011 Armada has the older 5.6L though correct? It is rated at 317hp where the 2011 QX56 started with the 400hp.

If possible I'd go with the newer 400hp rated engine, much better feel to the vehicle and we get much better gas mileage on wife's '12 QX56 vs her '06 QX56.

We don’t really like the new model for QX56. The engine does have more power which is nice.
