Convenience
You'll be making about the same number of stops at the gas station with the Nissan Armada as you will with the Toyota 4Runner, as they are both able to travel similar distances on a tank of gas.

Cost
There are a lot of factors to consider when calculating the overall cost of a vehicle. The main consideration is Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP). The Nissan Armada will definitely make more of a dent in your wallet than the Toyota 4Runner, which has a much lower MSRP.

Dimensions
Since the Nissan Armada is much wider than the Toyota 4Runner, finding a wide enough spot in a parking lot may be a bit more challenging. If you go with the Nissan Armada, you may be circling the block looking for a space large enough to park more often than with the Toyota 4Runner.
