The Cadillac is for the rich and famous, the GMC is for the wealthy folk who got the biggest house in your neighborhood. Lol. I love the designs of them both, but the refreshed 2025 Chevrolet Suburban is now giving them a serious run in styling!
I just purchase an all blacked out 2024 Escalade, I can say that the Escalade is a huge head turner over the GMC Denali. I like the Denali as daily driver, but the Escalade exudes elegance. The Escalade is on a different planet when it comes to luxury and elegance. The only SUV that the Escalade can be compared with is a G-Wagon. Every time I pull into a parking lot with my blacked out Escalade sport, everyone always stop what they’re doing to look. The Escalade demands respect from everyone that lays eyes on it. I also want to add that the 2021-2024 Escalade looks more masculine than the 2025 version. I decided to not go with the 2025 and went with the blacked out 2024 Escalade.
Both beautiful vehicles. Probably opt for the GMC though. I've always loved/wanted one and the price tag seems more realistic for us. Ive learned vehicles are really not worth a high dollar investment. They depreciate, deteriorate, and tech changes daily.
And the fact had he compared the correct trims together, the super cruise comes standard. Also with the Denali has entertainment screens the back seats.

@VagabondBuilds Yes, but that's odd since the Denali had wheel options before 2024?, but should be 22 inch stock anyway, especially if it's the ultimate package and XL (that they removed 2021-2024). If I'm wrong, that's a first. I have a 2020 Denali ultimate 4:24 the sticker says added to the yukon Denali package 22 inch wheels for apx $1,200. Very odd they would do that. you also didn't say if its an XL or short bed!!! My cream puff only has 14,000 miles on it. Trade, or wait.. 🤔
Denali ultimate is better than the Escalade for a lower price. all you are paying for is the name of Cadillac. you can get a fully loaded Denali for 97k whereas a fully loaded Caddy is 125k. just for a few visual differences makes no sense. My buddy bought the fully loaded Denali for 94k and its better than the escalade. OFC discounting the escalade V which is for ignorant people with to much money
consumer reports have said 2020-223 models , egine failure, car will turn off in te middle of the hig way , coolent leaks . one person had to pay for their infortaiment to be replaced@@VagabondBuilds
WARNING to anyone buying gmc 2024 vehicles in Canada . if you purchase a vehicle with rear infotainment it does NOT work without you personally having to go buy a dvd player or some type of streaming device gmc neglects to tell you that you can only stream through the vehicle in the united states leaving your system unless at time of purchase in Canada I bought a 2024 Yukon Denali ultimate for $130k and finally was told this after a month of gmc service working on it !! GMC is a total joke !!
Two of the best SUVs from GM shows in this video. Denali vs Escalade! ❤
That large light on the steering wheel is not crash warning, it's the super cruise system and a very big feature you glossed over.
Exactly idk how he didn’t know that before hand
That is definitely a big mistake on our side.
We’ll do better next time .
Thanks for pointing that out .
Compare side by side with Denali Ultimate. That is a fair comparison, price and feature wise. Really Good review
Thank you so much! What did you like most about the video?
Great video and you sold me on the Denali, vice the Cadillac. Saving that money is most important with all the luxury. I am now a Sub on your channel
Haha nice… humble beginnings for us but we are now understanding first hand the power of helping others through influence haha
Both are so nice. However, the Escalade is still king, just another level of luxury.
Agreed!
It may be king with a few more features yes, but it's still plagued with issues. Buyer be ware
His finger pull back is legendary
???
Cadillac all the way ,but in sport black platinum. Nothing out there has the same I’m king like the Escalade.
Cadillac does look boss
Great job on the comparison presentation
Glad you liked it!
Greetings from Kazakhstan!
Thanks!!
escalade all day, it will always be another level ahead
Agreed!!!
Should compared a GMC Yukon Denali Ultimate. Better Comparison
You are right. It’s what they have on the floor of the dealership… trying our best to get good content up!
"What's going on TH-cam" is the most unique video opening ever
Lol haha so original !!! Any idea how I can open up ??? Still maturing in this TH-cam thing.

Greetings friends
Greetings from (wherever you are) and thanks for joining us etc
GMC with the Duramax is the way to go
Oh yes!! I hear you on that one!
Excellent review. I learned a lot that I have not seen before in other reviews. Very thorough. Much appreciated. More please!
More to come!

Haha haha well that’s one way to look at it haha
Imagine the new 2025 Cadillac Escalade and Yukon Denali…😅
Cadillac is for anyone who wants to buy them. My grandparents drove new Cadillacs for years and they were not rich. I bought an Escalade and loved it!
@@tlmyers4689not for over $100,000 they didn’t. We are in a new time.
What is the price of Escalade premium luxury platinum and Premium luxury Platinum ESV?
Do we not have one of those msrp stickers in the video…?
I like both equally. Since I like both equally i pick the Yukon over the Escalade because it's not as expensive.
Nice! Are you buying one?
You should of used the Denali ultimate to compare with the Escalade. That would be fair.
Hmmmmm….. will try…

I have to agree with the classy look that brings respect. Don’t let it get to your head to much though, stay humble 😄 I’m jealous though haha
Agreed, on it getting to my head and being humble. I’m going to edit my comment.
Lovett escalade in 3.5
Nice!
100% escalade platinum the boss
Yes! This thing is sweet!
Great review of these two vehicles, for me, I like the looks and styling of the Escalade
Thanks for the compliment! Appreciate it! Good choice.
Love both cars so much
I feel the same!
Exterior trim- silver or chrome? Big difference.
Silver
Both beautiful vehicles. Probably opt for the GMC though. I've always loved/wanted one and the price tag seems more realistic for us. Ive learned vehicles are really not worth a high dollar investment. They depreciate, deteriorate, and tech changes daily.
I gotcha… will not contest this 😄
@VagabondBuilds haha. Thanks for the video. Now just to convince my husband. 🤣
only problem, The Premium Luxury is compared to the Denali Ultimate and you are not comparing the same. :( Bot those models are priced about the same.
And the fact had he compared the correct trims together, the super cruise comes standard. Also with the Denali has entertainment screens the back seats.
Oh okay. Sorry for that.
not much difference other than interior color with head rest speakers and vador grill on ultimate otherwise its the same whip
the 2024 has 22" tires as well not 20" also the super cruise and the video rear view camera. @@kenthompson5218
20.36. The split screen is better than a large single screen when driving. Less distracting.
The audi screen better than bmw.
Interesting. Thank you for your input.

Baller SUVs… haha
Interior of the denali looks like 2011 and that steering wheel looks like 2005..
Wow, I didn’t see that… interesting. So you feel like it’s not updated enough?
m
From monday to friday Yukon, Saturday night and sunday Escalade.
If the pockets allow it haha
He said a few options incorrect on the Yukon Denali. Sorry, GMC hands down 100% winner, "ultimate package"
Was the video overall helpful and if it was, what was good or bad ?
@@VagabondBuilds Yes, helpful in some way.
Lovett escalade 5.0hp
Nice!
Two beautiful SUV ❤
Yes
It's center console. Not "center council "
Haha sorry!!! Many people correct me on that. Did you like the video?
Denali ultimate package with only 20 inch wheels?? That's definitely not correct.
Did I say 20 in the video, if so, that’s what was on the car at the time of the video and what that car is getting sold with.
@VagabondBuilds Yes, but that's odd since the Denali had wheel options before 2024?, but should be 22 inch stock anyway, especially if it's the ultimate package and XL (that they removed 2021-2024).

Gmc danli vs cadillac escalade ESV vs range rover SV vs Jeep grand Wagner XL video
Plus defender 130
That would be a very interesting and long video haha
They're both getting a facelift if I'm not mistaking.
Yes
Informative. But this guy sounds like me trying to write a ninth grade essay lol.
Lol 😂

Haha I have to agree and disagree at the same time. The look on the Escalade for me is just nice.
I would not buy any cars built between 2021 - 2024 because quality control went out the window. these cars look great drive nice but quality sucks.
So, nothing new for you at all in any manufacturer?
Same truck. N not worth the money.
What is your make it or break it price?
Both cars not reliable . Engine failure and all
In what ways, what fails?
consumer reports have said 2020-223 models , egine failure, car will turn off in te middle of the hig way , coolent leaks . one person had to pay for their infortaiment to be replaced@@VagabondBuilds

Can you get an hdmi adapter and just use an iPad or even an iPhone?
I tried doesn’t work
