Don't know but most likely not, much bigger truck, much wider, huge engine. I would imagine that the tank on the armada would be miles too big, but someone correct me if I'm wrong please.

Also, what is wrong with your tank? Leaky I guess, rusted out or punctured.

Nothing broke with it.
But I love good unrefuelled range so looking for a tank larger than stock that might fit.

the Pathfinder takes 21 gallons..the Armada fuel tank takes 28 gallons.. :)

Oh well i figured you had a busted tank and happen to have access to an Armada tank.

In the case of just wanting more fuel, Take a look at this link

This tank would bring the combined total fuel on board to 200 litres (53 gallons)

Dibo: thats an awesome link thanks!!! :)

Anyone know if they are DOT egal in the USA?

Would love to have one of those. Unrefueled range is a highly desired feature for me.

I think the spare tire and hitch have to be removed to use this. Also since it's for euro spec, the exhaust may be different.

But would be nice to have more than 80L capacity.
