Sold the Pathfinder, bought the Armada:
...and drove home a loaner Rogue because the dealership has a fix-it (the auto liftgate didn't work, and I want it to if I'm spending the money), and we worked a set of air-bag helper springs into the deal which they'll be installing. It might not even be totally necessary, but I very much like the piece of mind when towing.

The only Probe of its kind in the world - rear-wheel drive, KLZE, 6-speed, LSD, Miata subframes/control arms, and some other goodies....

My dad bought a fully loaded version of that when it first came out (little bit too much plastic for a $50000 truck). Good towing, but bad MPG, and low resell value. Overall it was pretty reliable and has a lot of room.

I guess I'll share here too lol, finally got her to a spot where I'm happy with her. Hopefully going on a real photoshoot soon 
Towing is the main reason we went with this instead of something a bit more reasonable, and the space was an added bonus. It is *cavernous* compared to the Pathfinder (and some smaller aircraft hangars). We've had it about a week and like it a hell of a lot. It does drink fuel though, but we knew that going in. Fortunately, I bough it pretty deep in the depreciation curve. For the money, it was very hard to beat.
Finally got it home (bad picture, but the best that I've got):
Pulled off the retarded as f**k chrome wheel covers:
...and basically immediately had the dash apart so I could access the factory brake controller harness. That was a huge, huge win. In our Pathfinder, I had to wire the trailer brakes from scratch, which sucked. This took all of 10 minutes and a $12 pig-tail to go between my brake controller and the factory harness. I could have forgone that as Nissan includes a splice-in pig tail I could have used, but it's cheap enough to go with the cleaner option:
And probably my favorite toy... not *as* much for every day driving and parking, though it helps, but more so for hitching my trailer up solo on my steep @$$ driveway:
Yeah, getting that trailer hitched by myself on that hill is some bulls*** lol
Only if the previous owners spend money on stupid s***. Those 'covers' are not Nissan parts.

I've seen that nonsense on one of the Tacoma models - chrome cover on an alloy wheel - but it is an oem thing with them.
