    Also, that 4.4/4.5 second 0-60 could be in the shorter wheelbase. Either way, a pulley swap and tune could turn these into AWD spinning animals! Honestly, I think vehicles as a whole are getting VERY expensive! That being said, IF I had the cash to blow... I'd get the short wheel base version in a heartbeat. Perfect for family highway cruising and hurting the feelings of unsuspecting victims.

    I find it hilarious that all these super trucks like the Ram TRX and this started development a couple years ago when gas was dirt cheap and get released just in time for gas to cost an arm and a leg. That being said, the target market for these vehicles probably isn't too worried about fuel price.

  • @Nate-zy5ce
    @Nate-zy5ce 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Another worthwhile review. Thumbs up! A couple questions, about the 4W Low and 2 speed transfer case. If I remember correctly the Escalade Sport Platinum with the 6.2 liter included 4L with the 2 speed transfer case if you added the max towing package; and that also meant you could raise the vehicle not just +1" extra, but +2" extra. Is that not the case with this V series? And regardless of that answer, in regards to that 4W Low option on the 6.2 liter Escalade, if I do not anticipate rock crawling, just occasionally going onto dirt roads or paths to get to a camping or fishing destination, but more often maybe needing to get out of some deep snow in winter ski country, do you think adding that extra 4W Low with the 2 speed transfer case and being able to raise the vehicle up that 2nd additional inch is worth it or necessary? Thanks.
    Additional related thought: I like the idea of having that extra second inch available if needed, however infrequently, but then I also recollect hearing that once you shift out of 4W Low you cannot access that extra inch any longer, so only at slower speeds anyway. I think I remember anyway that even that first additional inch, in say 4W High, once you get up to 40 mph or so, certainly by the time you get to highway speeds, the vehicle automatically lowers back down so you can't even keep the vehicle raised the one extra inch if you are in a snow storm at higher speeds on secondary roads or on highways. That bummed me out a bit, for I love the Escalade for so many other reasons.

  • @MultiPurposeReviewer

    I'm still not a fan of self-driving cars or having cameras in the car staring right at you, but Super Cruise really is fascinating. The fact that it can initiate and execute a lane change all on its own is really impressive. If I were driving with Super Cruise, while most of me would probably be a little uncomfortable, like Andre here, there would be a part of me that was in awe. My question is, is the sensor just looking to see if you're facing the windshield, or is it actually checking your eyes? Could you face the road, but close your eyes, both with and without sunglasses, and have the system recognize it as not paying attention?

    • @chrisl6492
      @chrisl6492 2 ปีที่แล้ว

      It watches both your eyes and head position. Have had it on 2 CT6’s. It has never done anything alarming in about 25,000 miles of using it. It does take some getting used to, especially what to do with your hands. I do arrive less fatigued after a long trip after using it. It is especially nice if there is a delay due to an accident or construction when traffic accordions. You just sit there and the car follows the car in front creep, stop and steer, no intervention required.

      The Supercruise won't let you follow too closely to have a sudden emergency "slam on the brakes" event. It reads the road continuously and maintains a minimum calculated following distance in which it knows it can stop safely. Gm would up for lawsuits if it didn't. My wife's 2022 explorer as the "intelligent" adaptive cruise with stop and go, and I have driven 300km without touching the brake or gas. Stops and starts when the vehicle you are following does, and maintains the 2 second minimum. It was scary at first to trust the vehicle to stop, its aggressive compared to how I stop(has to do with the way the vehicle ahead of you stops). I've used the Mazda radar cruise lots and it works similarly.

    Do you factor in roll out for your 0-60 testing?
    I know that accounts for about .3 seconds of time.
    Another factor that might slightly affect acceleration is the 1200 ft elevation in Scottsdale.

  • @marv8481
    @marv8481 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    The reason it’s not quicker is Gm’s torque management, you can hear it in nearly every launch and every full throttle shift on just about every video about it. I’d love if I had $150k to throw down on the SWB Escalade V, it would get a pulley kit, and tune to take off GM’s horrible torque management. I’m currently saving up to turbo my 07’ Tahoe. I’ve already beefed up the trans for it, just need the turbo probably won’t be as fast as this, but will still be quick for a 3 ton vehicle. I actually had it tuned until gas prices went through the darn roof, had my tuner revert it back to factory and save my tune for later as it needed 91+ octane gas or it would ping on the highway, but I got better mpg with the tune, but not enough to offset the extra cost per gallon of premium.
