My mom has a white one and you're spot on with the way it drives. Took me by surprise on how it drives more like a car than a truck, which is a good thing.
You are a great tuner, very easy to tune out DOD or AFM as its called now and enjoy the much better driveability and the 8 speed auto trans will thank you also.
Gm has it to where you can open and close your back tailgate but moving your foot under it I don’t remember if it’s on the right or left side. But it’s intended for when you have your hands full u can click button to open manually u use your foot under the back bumper somewhere there’s a sensor and it opens
It may have a foot sensor. When u sweep your foot under rear bumper the rear door closes. Supposed to b convenient for when hands full to b able to close rear door.
I love my black 4th gen Plati. There is a sensor under the rear hitch area. If you kick, just forward kick motion under this area, it will open and close rear hatch.
I rented the yukon and the back end felt like I was driving an unloaded pickup. The back end would have came around on the highway off the throttle. The DSC saved the day and brought it back in line. I also rented the Yukon XL and if felt very stable. I'm not sure if I just got a bad one but I have a hard time recommending the shoe version of GMs SUVs
There’s a sensor under the bumper that you can “kick” your foot and it’ll activate the tailgate opening or closing. At night time you can tell where it’s at because it will illuminate a Cadillac symbol on the ground and that’s where you “kick” your foot.
Pretty sure that power tailgate has a sensor on the bottom of the rear bumper for you to use your foot to touch the bumper for it to open or close. It's meant to be used for when your hands are full loading or unloading the cargo area.
Nice ride 👍. You might be leaning against your key fob a certain way. Like when you lean against something and activate that stupid panic button on the key fob. Hate that when that happens lol.
2:30 if you pull down on the hatch, does it initiate self close? If so, maybe putting in the weight, like the tranny in the back, shook the car and made the hatch jiggle like you were pulling it down which initiated the self close feature?
Careful these things are fatal in a rollover. Roof is very weak. Supposedly this was fixed in 2021 but there’s a video on you tube of a 2021 roof crushing in a rollover. It was the suburban version.
Dude his right I think the sensor is under the back bumper so u prob kinda keep flashing the sensor and that’s why your trunk door keeps closing and I also want a caddy that’s why I search for a video like this I’m glad u just don’t do racing stuff 😅
I never got into I own mustangs so I have to only buy ford. I like expeditions and navigators but I also like cadillac amongst other GM products. I have 2 minor children and 1 adult... I like SUV's like this I can haul around my family or possibly grand kids with ease. And I can hook up a trailer if I need to and head to lowes or to pull a car or a side by side.
Bad sensor under the rear bumper maybe? Used one on an Audi and your leg really had to be under the bumper for it to open and close. But I don’t know how it works on this car.
You might have the option to close the tailgate with your foot. I know the “higher” end suvs can do it, your Audi, bmw, Mercedes I’m sure the Cadi can too.
My wife had a 19 esv platinum, we sold it for a smaller car, she got tired of driving a big car. I kinda miss it, the sound system was top of the line, nicer than my wife’s Lexus mark levinson that replaced it with
I have been looking at purchasing ...really stuck between 3rd gen an 4th gen..for reliability..i plan on buying with high miles...80k to 100k..and from what i have read...3rd gen much more reliable..but man the 4th gen is beautiful...any insight os greatly appreciated
Yup.. American V8... easy maintenance... they run forever... The high price of gas is small a small price to pay compared to the maintenance cost to keep similar class of luxury vehicles on the road...
Nah u trippen I need my sunroof and I stay in hollywood fl & north Miami so it’s a must because to me I get that fresh air from the top & smoking with only the sunroof
Just make sure when you drive this hog, put it manual shift mode and set it to either 5th gear if it’s a 6speed transmission or 9th gear if it’s a 10speed. This keeps the truck from going into 4 cylinder mode (afm) Which can prolong lifter life. You can also get a hand held tuner to permanently turn off the cylinder shut off but not approved yet to keep warranty. I have a 2019 truck in for a new engine because of the lifter failure. On the 2015 to current models. 1,4,6,7 cylinders have the special afm lifter/spring system, it send power to the solenoids to open and send oil pressure into the lifter to collapse the plunger, collapsed lifters will not engage the pushrods/not opening the valves for 4cylinder mode. It’s just a matter of when that shitty system fails. I’ve done about 10 engines this year already, yes you could replace the cam and lifter, but good luck. Parts are scarce.
22 highway when driving responsibly. But with the way these drive, it's hard. But I also went from a 2005 avalanche to this. So I look down often and I'm going 85-90 without noticing it. 🤷♂️
I have the exact truck, but black interior. I have my DoD disabled in the tune but otherwise unaltered. We go to Universal about once a month. set the cruise to 82ish and we get about 20.5. I can get 21ish without cruise. On 93.
Yes, i bought one and broke the first day i took it home. Called Detroit Cadillac directly from the side of the road. They apologized and brought me help on the spot.
Ya the audio thru a phone mic or anything really to put on a TH-cam video is trash like people try to show off their stuff in a TH-cam video makes no sense to me
![CAMPปลิ้น | EP.77[1/2] ก็ไม่ได้ชอบเอาชนะ แต่เรื่องอะไรต้องแพ้!!](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/JraaBYOd7I0/mqdefault.jpg)
There’s a foot sensor by the hitch port that can be used to work the power tailgate for when your hands are full
I came here to say this, but in my heart i knew it had already been said.
My mom has a white one and you're spot on with the way it drives. Took me by surprise on how it drives more like a car than a truck, which is a good thing.
Congratulations 🎈 Alex your a super hard worker deserve all the fruits of your labor.
Been here since the black car days, so dope to see Alex doing what he’s doing ! 🙏🏼🙌🏼
Beautiful car and awesome video Alex!
You are a great tuner, very easy to tune out DOD or AFM as its called now and enjoy the much better driveability and the 8 speed auto trans will thank you also.
Video production quality from last year to now it’s leagues better. B rolls in this video A1. Keep up the good work brother.
Great update, cool truck!!

Good job on the video. Looks professional
My wife drives on and the lighting is bad ass!!
It fits you well!!
Great video, I always wanted to have one of these, for no reason.

Looks like you’re happy with it, nice review
I love my black 4th gen Plati. There is a sensor under the rear hitch area. If you kick, just forward kick motion under this area, it will open and close rear hatch.
Usually, the sensors for the tailgate are around the bumper or the underside of it, so you put your foot out, and it'll open or close
I rented the yukon and the back end felt like I was driving an unloaded pickup. The back end would have came around on the highway off the throttle. The DSC saved the day and brought it back in line.

Cadillac Magnetic Ride Control helps that big vehicle ride so well.
There’s a sensor under the bumper that you can “kick” your foot and it’ll activate the tailgate opening or closing. At night time you can tell where it’s at because it will illuminate a Cadillac symbol on the ground and that’s where you “kick” your foot.

You may have the fot activation under rear bumper. It picks up motion of your foot to open or close
Nice ride 👍. You might be leaning against your key fob a certain way. Like when you lean against something and activate that stupid panic button on the key fob. Hate that when that happens lol.
Lmao the “BLICK” caught me off guard not going to lie
The arm motions trying to get the back to shut😂😂😂
I’ve had one for a year and mannn I luv this SUV
Badass truck bicho 🤙🏾
2:30 if you pull down on the hatch, does it initiate self close? If so, maybe putting in the weight, like the tranny in the back, shook the car and made the hatch jiggle like you were pulling it down which initiated the self close feature?
It has a sensor under the bumper so you can activate the hatch with your foot.
I live in SC and thinking about getting one of these as a first car what would insurance be on it ?
TRANSMISSION COOLER. You need it. I tow with my Tahoe. Your trans will thank you with a cooler upgrade
You have foot sensors underneath the rear tailgate that’s why your trunk kept closing you can turn off that feature if you like
Is there a tailgate sensor under the rear bumper, maybe?

When your hands are full of gRoCeRiEs your foot can close tailgate

Thay only works when you don't want it to work....or 2% of the times when you do
The escalade or Denali is definitely what I'd pick over a ford
Alex about to bump 🔊 bass to Poundtown in the Cadi 😂
Bruhhh 😂😂😂😂
Im now in the market for a 2020 ESV platinum, black on black, and I just couldn't find one that I like.

Maybe the key fob in your pocket and you inadvertently hit the close tailgate button, could happen !
You might have the option to close the tailgate with your foot. I know the “higher” end suvs can do it, your Audi, bmw, Mercedes I’m sure the Cadi can too.
Looks nice bro. I’d whip it to Soccer practice… I get to be passenger princess though 👸

@@fastfowardbutton1965I’m tryna figure as well. But most people who own one have a salary around 90k or more from what I’ve heard.
the hidden compartment will fail one day..I repair those and the touch screens often at work like 2-3 a month..outside of that they are nice
You ever see Steve Meades twin turbo escalade? SICK I have a 2011 and removed the DoD, put a lil bitty cam in
It's in the cards. I really like this suv
Where do you get your shirts
I pay 85$ to fill up my charger weekly 😢😅.. hit $115 at one point last yr when gas was 6.99$ in Retarfornia 😮💨
Does foot under the bumper open and close the back?
2nd on checking hands-free lift gate (foot sensor)
Thumbnail game on point.
Where is the grey poupon?
It’s the gesture close ?? For the tail door
I almost jokingly asked what the 60-130 was until you mentioned the dragy
I have been looking at purchasing ...really stuck between 3rd gen an 4th gen..for reliability..i plan on buying with high miles...80k to 100k..and from what i have read...3rd gen much more reliable..but man the 4th gen is beautiful...any insight os greatly appreciated
Did you buy it?
Hell yeah Alex. Great tow pig and loving the massive upgrade in editing. I see the transitions and roller shots!!!!
What year is this?
Cadillac Maple Interior is rare. Enjoy 😊
Yup.. American V8... easy maintenance... they run forever... The high price of gas is small a small price to pay compared to the maintenance cost to keep similar class of luxury vehicles on the road...
There’s a sensor beneath the tailgate and you’re setting it off with your feet.
little unrelated to this video but quick question, who would you reccomend for tuning the ESS G3, Lund or Wengered? thanks!
Lmao
You know i work for Lund right?
@@YDBT4LIFE I also know you're an honest straight up man 🤷♂😂
He channelling his inner “Brother” with the Escalade
Nah u trippen I need my sunroof and I stay in hollywood fl & north Miami so it’s a must because to me I get that fresh air from the top & smoking with only the sunroof
The trunk door closes on you because of the kick release on the back under the bumper
My rear door tries to close on me as well in my 2018 Esclade.
9:20 i think those motors are DI. Could only assume it has the truck version of an lt1. Not cheap like the old LS motors.
Just make sure when you drive this hog, put it manual shift mode and set it to either 5th gear if it’s a 6speed transmission or 9th gear if it’s a 10speed.

"And then they see me and go, Definitely a drug dealer." That was funny.
DOD should have a switch to turn it off
Sliding on the OPPs in extreme luxury and comfort
What kind of fuel economy does it get not towing on the interstate, looking to replace my f150

5:22 gotta wear a hat in a convertible
17:20 LOL
Awesome video Alex. Work on your raspy Italian Accent.
Just make sure all the screens are playing a movie while you drive solo
Easy E?
Your foot closes and opens the tailgate under the bumper
No brake stall,just stab from idle for best launch.I though you would have reported road trip mileage,would have expected 20-21 mpg on 93
I have the exact truck, but black interior. I have my DoD disabled in the tune but otherwise unaltered. We go to Universal about once a month. set the cruise to 82ish and we get about 20.5. I can get 21ish without cruise. On 93.
Yea my 2016 sierra slt 6.2 gets 20.3 avg on road trips so I'm assuming the escalade should be close
@@jjperformace3894 I have the same truck as you,mines a max tow 6.2 whipple ,19 hwy
Funny I just bought a 3.0 whipple for mine and ordered the 4.000 pulley how much power did you combo make
Went from mustang content to escalade Content
Hands free tailgate. Wave your foot under the bumper will open and close it. lol
Cranking that NWA
Yes, i bought one and broke the first day i took it home. Called Detroit Cadillac directly from the side of the road. They apologized and brought me help on the spot.
2012 is the best year no problems
What year is it?
17
Escalade is the best actual luxury vehicle on the planet... not the illusion of luxury... actual luxury
Exterior looks really good on these, but damn that interior is not aging well.
Alex tune this caddy ( spark plug deleted)
It's not my taste but a very solid truck. The only thing that makes me laugh i seem to only see the baddest Tia's in my area driving them.
Lmao I works at a cadi dealership motors are on backorder and they blow up on the shoe room floor and if they don’t blow up they eat the cams
Meanwhile these suv regularly live 80k-150k with 0 issues.
But i bought an extended warranty. It's worth it to me.
Ahaha my hidden compartment has seen more shit than most lol
Hey now I know how to get gas money 😂
Drug dealer isn't too far off... serving up that speed addiction.
Just put a lsa on it 😂😂
It would tow insanely good 😂

Oficially an old man.
your girl friend is probably pranking you with the other remote.
When you buy a Cadillac from a Latino guy on his first day on the job, does a mariachi band pop out of no-where to celebrate the moment?
You got a problem fool 😂😂😂
Funny. The gun comment was good. Probably wouldn’t help you In court though. I think I’m just going Omish. Tired of all these videos of car problems.
Your girlfriend drive it?
SUV…. Not a truck
