      Hey Scotty have you ever researched the Dodge Journeys? I was in the market to buy a used SUV. While looking for one I noticed that a lot of these journeys less than 40,000 miles and they were dirt cheap. I thought it was way to good to be true so once I researched it I found a lot of people traded them in because of problems with the car turning off unexpectedly and other engine problems.

I could hold a conversation with my kid who would sit in the third row. Because everything is hermetically sealed, in case you want to traverse a river, much of cost when at the shop was labor. My year/model required a special tool set. I don't know if that's still the case. Reliable, yes. Costly to maintain, relative to a Toyota, absolutley. Worth the truly exclusive luxury ride and experience,

      Land and Range Rovers often have small issues that can be fixed using non-Land Rover parts. People make the mistake of going to their Land Rover dealer for new brakes then act surprised when they get charged $1,000 for new pads. That’s were the “ahhhh Land Rovers break down all the time” idea comes from. Little things sometimes break, but my mother who still drives a 2001 Range Rover has never had to replace the engine or transmission over the 165,000 miles she’s put on it.

    I strongly disagree with the Escalade. We bought ours used (a 2006 model year) in 2012. Late 2020 we had to fix the differential, but other than that really no major problems. The only reason we got rid of it in June of 2021 was because of a Car accident and it was totaled.

    I bought my 2002 Escalade used back in 2005 with 25k miles on it. I went shopping for a newer Tahoe but found the Escalade to be the same price. Fast forward to 2019 and I still own my Escalade and it has 189,000 miles on it. Yes the dash cover is cracked and my driver seat leather is torn but the SUV still runs great with no real issues. Over the years I have replaced some common things like the fuel pump, alternator, belts and hoses but I am very impressed with the durability of the 6.2L GM engine that I average 13.9 mpg on regular gas. I am going to have the leather repaired and keep rolling on! I would buy another if I needed.

That 5.3 vortex engine is quite reliable, although not the best with low end power. I figure i can maybe get a couple years of work outta her before the wheels fall off. Not bad for a $2700 truck.

      Hey John, JD Power & Associates agrees with you, but on the Yukon. The Tahoe, Suburban, and Yukon are all documented to reach 200k miles or more regularly. Of course, the Escalade is on the same platform. I think the difference though is that the Escalade has more electronics and touch screens that can fail.

They are stylish and comfortable but 2 diff “rebuilds” 5 wheel bearings, many airbag module reprograms and transmission computer issues all before 100k. Not to mention the engine kept getting condensation in the values and causing the engine to run in reduced mode.

I can't count how many times we had to take it to dealership had the same #4 valve drop twice plus heated seats going out, electrical issues etc etc has been fixed.

I have had the brakes changed a few times and just took it in for a full service because it hadn't had one since I purchased it. $1000 later and it is purring like a baby.

    My personal experiences with escalades can tell you that the third gen is the one to stay away from. The newer 4th gen, is actually pretty reliable for the most part. It will suffer from luxury car issues, like the fact that the shocks in the back are air shocks and they of course, don't last as long as normal hydraulic shocks. Some times vented or heated seats go out, or maybe the cue screen. The 2 mechanical recurring issues are, the a/c condenser, and the torque converters with the 8 speed. The a/c condenser were not made by gm, and tend to leak in a certain spot. The torque converters go out from the transmission fluid burning them out. If a mechanic changed the converter, they will most likely put different fluid in it as well. If you look for a used 4th gen out of warranty, then those jobs have already been done most likely, and you'll be good to go. The newest 4th gens come with 10 speeds now, so you won't have to worry about the torque converted issue.

      Thats because morons never service the transmission and then when it hits the used dealers lot or someone is trying to sell it, they do a quick trans flush. NEVER do a trans flush on a GM transmission, it even says not to do it in the manual but if you do it on a high mileage GM you will probably lose the transmission. If you just drop the pan and change the fluid/filter you'll probably make it to 300k+ miles

Rarely washes it, and just daily drives it. It has over 250,000 miles on it and it still runs. We replaced the transmission once, and the alternator, water pump, and fuel pump a couple of times and that's about it. Did I mention he doesn't change the brakes until he gets tired of hearing the rotors grinding for over a month!

      When you replace the brake lines and the lower body falls off into the yard, you should have a nice vehicle after you run down all the sensors that failed. Just guessing you have SRS, ABS and a check engine lights on along with "service ride control" on because you put work truck shocks on it.

      That's more than I'd want to deal with. You should get 250000 trouble free miles out of a vehicle though. I've come to expect it with mine and I haven't had to replace an alternator, fuel pump, or transmission since I started buying Toyotas 16 years ago. One cracked radiator at 160k, and regular maintenance other than that, on 4 different vehicles. Knock on wood. If your dad really did all that, especially the constant towing over the limit, then that's held up pretty well I guess. Everyone I know that has a GM vehicle has replaced the fuel pump. I had a 1 ton work truck with an allison transmission that had to be replaced at 50k. It was supposed to be bullet proof. I had a ton of weight on it, but my previous truck had been an overloaded half ton that took 200k with no motor or tranny issues. The half ton felt like it was gonna roll every time I turned lol.

So it has to be fueled up running and it blows black fuel smoke while filling up. It's the gas ventilation like $100 for parts only.
