I love mine.. its an 07.. still drives like new. No worries driving out of town. I improved the fuel mileage to 16.5mpg by installing an oil catch can cleaning the throttle body And upgrading the ignition. I have own it for 6 years and i have other cars to drive around town for short trips to the store. I will buy another if someone wrecks into it. But i dont like the newer body style.
@@AlanTrades msd red big coils 580. dollars . Decarboning the engine is a must. Before new plugs.. these engines will destroy cam bearings first at around 180 to 220 miles. A catch can will make your oil last longer. Im rebuilding mine because I'm putting a torque cam and deleting vvt. I did my friends and he loves it and I got a little jealous.
@@AlanTrades Put an oil catch can on 1st then clean your throttle body. Drive a few days then clean your throttle again. Do not decarbonate the engine if you do not know what you are doing. (Hydrolock)..It's OK a clean burning engine will burn most off. After a few days of cleaning engine and high octane fuel. Then change your plugs. Also the drivers side valve cover should be replaced with updated version or modified. (Drill a few holes in baffle) I have done several..let me know I never get tired of helping
The best SUV'S alive! 1.Cadilac Escalade 2011 2.GMC Yukon XL Denali 3.Range Rover 4.Chevorlet Tahoe 5.Chevorlet Suburband 6.land rover 7.lincoln navigator and thats all the cars im gonna put for noww
What I realized is that the Escalade changed the shape of its lights in 07. They used to have that square-like light type, but now they have a triangle/oval like light type. I think the Escalade gets 12 city 19 hwy. In 09, it's going to get 14 city and 22 hwy. It's hybrid is going to get 18 city and 25 hwy. I don't care though. Beastly SUV... Cadillacs rule.
Cadillac Escalade is a very nice car indeed. The one ill got now is from 99 and ill never got any problem what so ever with it. Who cares if the wonderful engine is a bit thirsty ,its worth every penny to ride that car. Only reason to sell it would be just to buy a newer one (:
i got an o7, love this thing, it's fast, quite inside, you see everything when you drive a big suv..the Range Rover comes close but it just looks too dainty/girly..
I agree both of my parents both own escalades less than 2 years old and my mom's chrome strip on the side has fallen off twice now and both of the cars tire pressure monitoring systems are broken and think that the wheels are always flat. The only plus is that they are actually really fast (faster than a civic si) they go 0-60 in the same time as my 2008 Mercedes C350.
The Escalade is Beautiful and drives nice BUT still has old solid axle rear suspension and third seat that doesn't fold into the floor but has to be stored in your basement,the same as trucks from 20 years ago! Did I say trucks!?! The Escalade does NOT have a Low Range Transfer Case for off roading or pulling heavy boats out of the water so its not really a truck either.Its a beautiful huge station wagon or mini van ! Of course all those status seekers will like the looks they get at the mall.
You probably don't know anything about this truck I went and sat in one at a dealership and all the materials are top notch, definitely on par with the stuff Merc and BMW put in their SUVs that break down after 10,000 miles. It's also faster than a Range Rover sport and gets just as good if not better gas mileage.
yo, i just got the 2008 escalade! rode it to the shore. but when i rode through a bump, i heard a squeaking or ticking noise on the passenger side. continued untill i got home. drove it to work and the same problem. can anyone HELP??? I need escalade owners only to answer this. if this is a problem, i will have to send it to the dealer.
I'm from Czech republic.. and every day I meet approx..30 bmw x5,x6 = btw i don't like them, audi Q7 and Q5, Mercedes Benz GL or G and GLK too.. and couple Range Rovers..but only 1-2 Escalades in a half year... so now I'm student on college but when I have money to buy it ESCALDE ESV IS THE exactly thing which i spend my money for it! I love this car it's awesome!!!
The Navigator's major downfall is power, 300 horsepower is just not enough. That alone makes the Escalade better in my opinion, a great car must have good power and 6.5 seconds 0-60 is definitely good.
but can the civic have at least 5 people in it COMFORTABLY, and tow 8100 pounds, not to mention have AWD? my bro has got an 08 escalade, and he has had any problems with it
best luxury SUV on the road today! after all isn't this the American dream to own one of these? i beleive so because im an american an proud of it! Go American cars!
it's a nice truck.... but with few flaws. I went in one in a car show and it lacks leg room in the 3rd row. 1st and 2nd row are very comfortable. If only it had bluetooth and better leg room, i'll buy or lease one for sure
they are not that loud inside i have one and my brother has one and there not that loud inles u have the windows open even then they are not that loud the must have turned the volume on the carmra up
We have 2 new escalades and they are the best SUV you can buy. They are not chevy's with a cadillac badge, their horsepower is surpassed only by the porsche cayenne in suv's and you can feel that when you floor it.
right, maybe, but Yukon Denali is really similar. Just a little less sportier and stronger from an Escalade, and you have a GMC Yukon Denali. Absolute same interiors... Yukon Denali is what, $51,000? Escalade is $55,000. I was actually expecting the Denali to be a LITTLE bit more...
stanbernadino - I freakin luv the Escalade! But one of the best cars ever made? Pleeeease..based on a platform and technology already outdated compared to SUVs in Europe..American manufacturers could learn a thing or two from Europe..first and foremost the quality of American interiors suck..and fuel consumption is insane..but I would still like to have a Caddie Esca! : )
The 08 Cadillac Escalade has gone Hybrid,which is more efficient than its predecessors. And the ppl who can afford such a vehicle won't care too much about oil price.And a old economic car definitely consumes more gas than a brand new Escalade.
Duh, the Volvo has a turbocharger funny how you left that out. The Renault Megane is...well it's French so not only is it crap but the reliability is too. The Escalade is the best value in a luxury SUV out there and it has very good reliability, even the Range Rover 'Sport' isn't as fast and it gets worse gas mileage.
its all about class level and the way its marketed to you say if a woman had $3,000 to blow on a handbag she have a choice between a $3,000 guicci or buy $3000 worth of $50 no namebrand cheap handbags 9 times out of 10 she is going to pick the guicci. face it thats just the way half the world think if it have a powerful name behind it we will pay every dime we have on it just to feel on a higher class level.
Rofl you have to take in the mirrors with a button. A standard Renault Megane does that automatic. And it has VVT, just like Suzuki's have had for years. Oh yeah, 400 HP out of a 6,5 litre enginge. A Volvo S60R has 300 HP out of a 2,5 litre. This escalade is funny. :)
my be the owner import it by him self , and handle all charges , ive seen GMC youkon in london !!!! and the owner told me that he import it by his own , and handeled all the charges , ofcourse this will cost you a lot .....!!!!!!
definitely, Lincoln tanked on the Navigator, they never give a performance upgrade from the expedition, its the same 5.4L Triton w/300HP, while the Escalade gets a 6.2L w/403HP, instead of the 5.3L w/320HP, and it looks better all around compared to the Navigator
@daibadrumu LMAO the Caddilac Escalade has double stitched leather interior with wood accents, the CTS line for example is suede and leather do your research. As for a RR well no shit look at it's price, the Caddy doesnt compete with them but with BMW, Audi, Mercedes, Jaguar etc... However Caddy has proven they can make over the top luxury with the Sixteen, so you cant say they cannot.
On which comment but i know hes lying it does 100 in i think 6.4 not sure. Also what should i be a Charter Accountant or something else but it has to be university.
= means similar to, close to GMC Yukon = Chevy Tahoe GMC Yukon XL = Chevy Suburban GMC Yukon Denali = Cadillac Escalade GMC Yukon XL Denali = Cadillac Escalade ESV Yukon's interior sucks. Yukon Denali's interior is very similar to that of the Escalade's.
dont be mad - that they took a suburban and throw some silver on it - in fact the suburban looks better than this mess - a nav is to proud to stup to your level . :- )
first im not that speddy driver , and spedding in suv is too fatal , even with stabelity technologis , second german cars are made for there environment , not for midlle east where it reaches 53 in summer !!!!
that greenpeace vid shows exactly what's wrong with environmentalists. Just because the guy had an SUV they spit in his coffee and acted like douchebags. Judging somebody on the type of car they drive is like judging them on the color of their skin, equally as petty. Thankfully I still live in a country where I'm free to drive the vehicle of my choice without having people dictate what kind of car I can have.
but some people cares about the name !!!!! for example kia has the exact option on BMW 5 series or could be more ,, but no one buy it because its simply ,,,,KIA

an escalade epitomizes prestige to the fullest, i'd love to have one,
The Escalade is amazing: it has over 400 horsepower, looks beautiful, and has a luxurious interior: KING of suv's

So if you hate Cadillac why did you come to an escalade review video. Just to hate on it?
Currently own an 02. Love my 02 but I think I want this one!
for me it's better than Navigator:P

they don't. Automatics only, I doubt any large size SUVs have manual transmissions in N. america.
Great SUV, a hard rival to Lincoln Navigator
both esclade and navi are kings , but the space is much better in navi than cadilac

Escalade is a sexy SUV for all people, my white cousin has one. The chrome and power is just amazing. Anyone who cannot see that is obviously blind.
Only idiots would hate the escalade. I love mine though im not worried about the bad mpg. Escalades are the BEST!

Just buying a 05 tomorrow. It is HOT..
the esclade costs over 200.000 dollar in norway
I like the automatic running boards.

Or you could buy the Tahoe LTZ for about 15k less than this and get exactly the same options
i like that this car pisses people off...that's why i like driving it....
