Got damn these Cadillac vids tease me so much. Always wanted a Cadillac Escalade ever since I was like 6 yrs old. Always liked suvs. Luxury all day. Private jet of the road
One last thing, I’ve seen a bunch of your reviews and I really like how professional and to the point they are, plus you really show off the important things.
@@Snoopii27 Yes exactly Its so cool to game vintage while on the road! The road trips will be even better! Then when you want you can plug in the PS4 or Xbox One and play live with the HDMI & Onstar Wifi Hotspot! Wish I had this as a Kid! #CadillacKerry
Hasan wow dude that’s motivation. Being able to buy one of your parents a car !!🙏 congrats on your success. Any advice? 😂 I’m currently working but studying and planning for entrepreneurship and opening my businesses
@@yesDX thanks my bro I really appreciate that! If I had to legit advise you (something I would advise myself to this day) is to keep going and keep making an effort, and execute on your business goals now my bro and do not wait on it ( I literally went a similar route in my life as you and got my MBA in Finance/Marketing from a great school here but went through creating multiple businesses which many had failed while simultaneously going through school and graduating my bro until one or two of them of hit nice financially). Also, the main thing is, believe in yourself no matter what happens my bro and keep going through the failures until the success comes because it's inevitable and will come if you keep going and not letting up!!
Hasan thanks so much. That’s something that I just recently finally learned and accepted is that failure is okay and sometimes mandatory at first to elevate. I really appreciate you taking time out of your day and responding. Honestly makes me more excited to grind because I believe I will be successful, just need to keep working
for the record, at 9:00 you don't need to PUSH the panel down at all, you mess that thing up in a month. You simply touch the silver lining on the bottom of it and it closes...
My 2018 has 2 USB ports and a 12 power point in the cargo area. I didn’t notice that in the one you reviewed. I have the 4wd Luxury and the biggest difference from the platinum are the seat controls. You really can upgrade all the other stuff, but not those seats. The cooler in the center console honestly had no appeal for me. All the controls and the CUE system are initially difficult to navigate, but once you learn all the features they are easy to use. I have WiFi with unlimited data and it is a truly awesome feature because you can have everyone connected to whatever they want to watch or do. Onstar truly sucks, once I run out of the free subscription I don’t renew it and much less now with WiFi connectivity. I agree entirely on your comments about the third row seat. I don’t understand why they did that in addition to raising the cargo area. My previous 2 Yukon’s, basically same design, were lower and the third row seats roomier, not great, but roomier. Fortunately for me the third row seat is for my dog and he hasn’t complained, yet. And the rest of the time it’s folded down. I keep my trucks for at least 15 years so it doesn’t seem too terrible for a bit of luxury in my life.
4:36 yeah it's basically a 1/2 ton Chevy Silverado 1500 on a regular cab short bed pick up truck frame of course you can tow something it's a truck 👍, like the Ford expedition or Lincoln navigator there just Ford F-150s to carry the family and have pick up truck functions and performance all at the same time that cool😎👍
And that is why I would just buy the Chevybasically this is how I see it the Chevy is the low in the GMC is mid-range and a Cadillac is the top shelf basically you're right this is a Chevrolet with dressed as a Cadillac
@@godofdestructiondiecast6756 in mi opinion that's why I would buy a full size suv cus I know it will be as reliable and have the same power train as a regular full-size pick up truck but able to carry everyone in it comfortable, plus pull a normal size trailer or camper at the same time when needed vs a mid size or compact crossovers those can only be used as grocery getters and they normally break all the time and there hard to work on, there just another little Honda on the road,
Cadillac is the king by a long shot. Even this old body style is still crushing it in sales. Lincoln has never in their entire history made a good vehicle ever. The navigator is the most depreciating vehicle on planet earth. There is a reason for that.
Thanks for the video. Just picked up a new ESV blue with Kona brown and it’s stunning. Currently there are substanti savings with incentives and discounts. I just can’t justify paying sticker for the redesigned ones once they are introduced. The current ones are gorgeous.
I'm late, but nice enthusiastic review. When I wanted to switch to a full-size I went to Lincoln first because of all the great reviews and everyone saying RIP Cadillac blabla on the Internet. I left a bit confused because yeah the interior was nice but I didn't like the exterior. Then I went to Cadillac, knowing fully well that the model is about to be renewed in a year or 2 max. On my test drive, I just felt in love, that N/A V8, wow. So I got the 2019 ESV Platinum and I got a nice 10K rebate off MSRP cause the 2020 was coming soon, and I'm glad I got the 2019 cause on the 2020 they deleted 3 screens. Anyway subbed.
You reviewed the Tahoe size, not the suburban size, so that’s why the third row and back cargo is small. Roman Atwood has the suburban size Cadillac Escalade, it’s awesome and huge.
I came here because I have a brand new Escalade as a rental while my Lincoln gets fixed from an accident (some douche hit me). I agree with your review completely. Nice ride!! The infotainment needs work and the 8 inch screen is kinda small for such a nice luxury vehicle. My Lincoln MKZ has the same issue. Crappy infotainment lol. Oh well. I think automakers are getting better in that department though. Still no one is on Tesla’s level when it comes to screens 😁
OMG OMG THANKS THANKS THANKS JOE, I KNEW U COULD DO IT MAN YOUR THE BEST MAN ABSOLUTELY THE BEST EVER. I ABSOLUTELY LOST IT WHEN I SAW YOUR NOTIFICATION OH MAN. That sound that the Exhaust makes when it's being revved up is incredibly pleasing to my ear. Also ike when u get on the " Loud Peddle " the front end picks up like no other. Thanks Joe. Keep up the great work and reviews.
@@RaitisRides U bet man your the BEST!!!!!!😂😂😭😭😭♥️♥️. ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE BLACKED OUT WHEELS. 1 thing I don't like is how in the Sport Edition they only give u 1 wheel option when clearly theirs 2 other blacked out wheel options!!!. Personally I like the non Sport Edition cause of that 1 wheel option. Also love the Polished Exhaust Tip amazing. Thanks Joe.
Should of mentioned that this Escalade you reviewed was the short wheelbase(Tahoe) and the third row seat sits higher on the longer wheel base ESV version because the 3rd row sits on top of the rear axle rather then behind it on the short wheel base and the cargo room is much larger in rear as well with 3rd row up. Me personally I hate the short wheel base. ESV is the way to go! The Escalades are badass and nothing compares to these. Lincoln can try all they want because Cadillac is the Boss!
@@samlung2724 yea, I dont think he minds the shifter, just saying that it needs more of a " luxury " feel. Any center console shifter in a luxury car is always wrapped in alcan tera, leather, stainless, chrome, anything like that. The majority of column shifters are just ugly flat black plastic, even in luxury cars. I think they should bring back the " 3 on the tree " 😉😂
This is actually my dream SUV and i would love it more with dual exhaust and some nicer after market wheels. Everything else can just stay the way it is. I LOVE IT...👍👍
Talal Obaid i like the land rover for some off road trips. But it needs fixing all the damn time. Engine failure, transmission failure, horn wont sound, AC having issues, and my airbags failed to set off twice. And my friend sold his escalade for a lincoln navigator for reliability.
Thank you for voting the Escalade the "King of the SUV's" are you currently driving in one? I agree by the way the Escalade is my favorite! #CadillacKerry
Nice review overall, but if I was doing a walk around review I would strongly hit the advanced safety package. Starting with the forward collision system that alerts and will break automatically if in someone or something pulls out infront of you. Also as big as the the car is I would’ve touched base on the blind spot monitoring that’s a big selling points. Lastly the rear cross traffic alert, not trying to critique you. I too am in the business at Chevy Tampa. Having won numerous walk around contest in Florida and national contest, these are some of the more important features/benefits people would find more attractive then just mentioning the alcatera interior...
The dashboard looks very neat and tidy. The infotainment system looks neat and tidy. It may look too classic but interior familiarity is the strong point. Neat and tidy are what really count the most. Also, the very rear row seats can be tinkered in order for passengers to sit more comfortably by redesigning the leg rests at the front part of the very rear row seats by means of partitioning the leg cushioning in a way: heightened ballooning-cushioning therefore your knees won't be touching your chin if by-accident (2 cushion setup leg rest for the human buttocks/backside on every seat ...sorry... with the very end of the leg rest part is elevated to a hump-like design, so to speak, and the second part of the leg rest mainly the buttocks to be supported by means of something like bucket designed). Bottom line: a kind of "modified bucket seat design configuration setup" on the very rear row seats that resembles like a "dip" (somewhat ergonomically slanted on the buttocks part of the seat for the buttocks to easily-comfortably settle into the seat's cushioning).
The finger made me literally lol even though it was fake... caught me off guard. Maybe one day when I actually need a big SUV, but I'm more about performance than utility.
I’d have to say the Navigator would be the pick over this. Much nicer interior. It has the Raptor v6 twin turbo setup in its base config and out accelerates the Escalade, even with its gas guzzling V8.
Why the hell do the screens in back look so old? Also, why doesn't this have an independent rear or a pano sunroof? I understand that this is 5-6 years old but it's very expensive.
Just give me a good ole full size high top conversion van. I don't care if it's a Ford Econoline, Chevy Express, or GMC Savana. High top conversion vans have a lot more room inside when compared to the Escalade. Currently I own a 2006 Ford Econoline. This van is about 8 feet tall and I can stand up and walk around inside of it. It has so much room in the second row that I can sit down on the floor in between the seats. The thing I love the most about high top conversion vans is how the back seat folds out into a sofa bed. Name one SUV that has a sofa bed in the back. Also I like how these vans have mood lights in the roof. These are about like those fancy looking lights found in a limousine and its beautiful to look at them during the night time. I don't understand why high top conversion vans are not more popular. No suv can compare to these vans when it comes to passenger space and comfort.
I can't wait to see what thay do to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade. Hope that thay get rid of that gear shifter and pout some Hi-Tech digital shift knob in . Like what in the ram,s is so cool.
Oh no ☹️ that 3rd row sucks but I like the solid axel set up, GM should fix that issue without having to go with a independent suspension set up on the rear like Ford expedition has to make more foot space
Lincoln Navigator is superior in every way possible.... Im a GM guy, but a 100k Tahoe ain't doing it for me. I've always preferred the Denali over the Escalade and if you're spending this type of money get a Range Rover.... It's not just a chromed out minivan. It's actually a real luxury SUV that can be taken off road... Don't tell tell me about reliability, that's what your warranty is for
I hope they ditch the shift lever. Its like going to a fancy restaurant with China dinnerware and crystal stem ware then you realize you have plastic silverware.....
Imagine this 2019 escalade exterior with the 2021 escalade interior.
That would a VERY nice car, I’d want it!
Fully agree! The 2019 Escalade is just so sexy
That would be genius

No kidding, that's a no no in the 21st century.
The design is beyond old at this point. I've been in one recently and the tech also needs a refresh. Otherwise, it still hauls a bunch of people.
You are so very right!
Coming 2021
I like it. They should only change the interior, the exterior is perfect
Drive Steady the Escalade is still most advance in it class and safety in its class the design is luxury to the max in its class.

The new Lincolns been out for 2 yrs now and I still see more Escalades on the street 🤔
Its cause the exterior of the new navi is ugly and looks too much expedition
The Tahoe is the Corolla of SUV's. So the main SUV you will see are Tahoe's and Escalades.

Would look better with big dual or quad exhaust. You could take the entire Raiti’s Ride crew on a road trip in that Joe! 💡Nice job! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

It's an old body on frame design. GM needs to lower the price of their big SUV. They have a place but cost to much
Thank you for sharing your input and perspective.
Reliability, Durability and low-cost maintainability are paramount: escalade lacks these tributes!
Beauty and confort are just bonuses!

100,000 dollars in the front seat, and exterior, but then when u get to the middle and back... come on cadillac.
2021 Escalade looks better inside but the older one looks better outside

For me it still is, and damn can't wait for its redesign on 2021.
I totally agree with you!
14:20 my kids hate that, no leg room, we all completely love it but that little issue ruins it all
Did I see dual speakers on the back of the front seats? To me the pinnacle of that vehicle is the power and performance of the big V8.
Yes you did Carl!
that is went for cooled front seats, not speaker

Why the hell do the screens in back look so old? Also, why doesn't this have an independent rear or a pano sunroof? I understand that this is 5-6 years old but it's very expensive.
Even the Toyota Sienna has pano sunroof, kinda.. it's more like a sunroof in the front and a moonroof in the back lol.
Great job Joe. I’m no Escalade fan but I had to watch... sort of like driving past a car wreck.. you have to watch.
Great review Joe! Would love to see a navigator review soon!
Thanks Martin! I am working on that!
Raiti's Rides Awesome! Thank you!
Very nice "guagua".
As we call it in Puerto Rico 👍
Thanks for letting me share it with you Julio!
That back seat is ridiculous and no USB that's crazy!!! Thats a Huge truck with no space!!
Just give me a good ole full size high top conversion van. I don't care if it's a Ford Econoline, Chevy Express, or GMC Savana. High top conversion vans have a lot more room inside when compared to the Escalade. Currently I own a 2006 Ford Econoline. This van is about 8 feet tall and I can stand up and walk around inside of it. It has so much room in the second row that I can sit down on the floor in between the seats. The thing I love the most about high top conversion vans is how the back seat folds out into a sofa bed. Name one SUV that has a sofa bed in the back. Also I like how these vans have mood lights in the roof. These are about like those fancy looking lights found in a limousine and its beautiful to look at them during the night time. I don't understand why high top conversion vans are not more popular. No suv can compare to these vans when it comes to passenger space and comfort.
I can't wait to see what thay do to the 2021 Cadillac Escalade. Hope that thay get rid of that gear shifter and pout some Hi-Tech digital shift knob in . Like what in the ram,s is so cool.
AGREED!
THE GREATEST SUV! THE EPITOME OF LUXURY!
I was racing one of these in my Lincoln mkt.. Cadillac put up a gd fight but that EcoBoost twin turbo is just to much.💨💨💨💨 smoked it.
That is really cool Charles!
It sounds so quite if its that quite ill rather get a lincoln navigator little bit more expensive but worth it.
I totally agree iwth you!
Nice review man, best wishes from IRAQ.
Thank you so much! That means a lot!
My 2018 Tahoe LS came with the same Black 22" Rims !!!!!!!!!!
Leather and Sunroof
Boy Yeah !!!!!!!!!!!!!
FANTASTIC ! My all time dream car. Almighty God hear my prayers, AMEN AND AMEN !
I am so glad that you like this one!
Hey Daniel who's to say we can't get you in your all time dream car??? Have you take It for a test drive?? #CadillacKerry
Great place!! Ask for Denis Alcar when you are there...great sales consultant....gave us a great deal and service !!
I am so happy to hear that!
Oh no ☹️ that 3rd row sucks but I like the solid axel set up, GM should fix that issue without having to go with a independent suspension set up on the rear like Ford expedition has to make more foot space
I totally agree with you Gerado!
2021 Escalade will have an IRS
Will Joe ever run out of questions for the titles?...😱😱
Never ever! It's the teacher in me! They are called essential questions.
@Chuck Towers AGREED!
When pigs fly
My favorite car.. Cladillac esclade..👍👍👏👏👏
I am so glad that I can share this one with you!
Yes..😃 thanks my broo 🙏 God bless
lol, the Lincoln Navigator ditched the column shifter in 2002
The way those LEDs are blinking looks like a code bug and not a feature.
It's not a bug.
They need to sell this in Australia and New Zealand.
Lool i like when you said watch your finger maybe you will lose it if center door closed
Thanks for letting me share it all with you Saif!
Lincoln Navigator is superior in every way possible.... Im a GM guy, but a 100k Tahoe ain't doing it for me. I've always preferred the Denali over the Escalade and if you're spending this type of money get a Range Rover.... It's not just a chromed out minivan. It's actually a real luxury SUV that can be taken off road... Don't tell tell me about reliability, that's what your warranty is for
I hope they ditch the shift lever. Its like going to a fancy restaurant with China dinnerware and crystal stem ware then you realize you have plastic silverware.....
That V-8 sounds Amazing.
I am so glad that you liked this one!
We don have a cadillac dealer in Kenya. I aspire to be the 1st someday Joe🤑🤑!! But I like the esca
I will keep my fingers crossed for you John.
wait for the 2021!
This is very true!
Now that you reviewed Escalade, next review Navigator 😁
@Stonewall Jackson Lincoln realy reinvented them selves, i've never seen better interior in a sedan under 80K than the Continetal black series.
