My boss was stopped at stop sign. 5 ton truck sped by her taking off front end of escalade. I was behind her watching. She was very lucky. It never moved. 3 days later i am driving escalade. And maybe for rest of my life. Ps i do feel special driving it. Love love love it.
To be fair the Escalade has been out for a long while now... I'm pretty sure just as always the new Escalade will far outclass the navigator when it comes out
I have one, and I can say it is about the smoothest riding and best cars I have ever owned. Plus I put a exhaust on the v8 and the navigator can’t argue with the sound of a 6.2
I love my new 2018 Escalade Luxury in crystal white which i bought in January 2022. I had the 2008 Escalade sport Diamond white since new and it was good enough to last 14 years and counting. I probably would have kept my 2008 but it needed about 6-7k worth of body work and my wife didn’t want me to put that much into a truck that old. I love all the tech and my 4 year old loves the 4g LTE Wi-Fi. The folding 3 row is great and there’s plenty of storage since I don’t have the built-in fridge. The rear camera mirror & 360 view is awesome to have. The 10-speed gives me 30-40 percent better gas than my 2008 6-speed. The best mpg I seen on my 2008 was 17.1 and the 2018 I seen 28 mpg on the same straight highway. The magnetic ride is nice as well with the tour, sport & snow/ice mode. Nothing beats a 2018 Escalade. The headlights looks like fancy jewelry. The 2021+ Escalade looks more like the Tahoe from the front with no special headlights. The 2021+ also is bigger and looks like a school bus. I also like the truck like body on frame that the 1-4 generation had. The 2018 is sleek and classy as well.
The Lincoln navigator is such a much better full size suv better chassis better interior and way better infotainment and the powertrain so smoothly with those twin turbo v6
the v6 is great for what they are quiet good fuel economy and low end torque no one ever revs out these trucks the escalade needs to update their truck to be quiet and smoother its suppose to be comfy and plush not a stiff rst drag car
Do you idiots realize that the Navigator's V6 turbo engine makes more power and torque than the Escalade's V8? Do some research or shut up. Some people...
I work for Cadillac, and totally agree with her points. However! Don't pick on the poor volume control so much; she was trying to single-click to turn down the volume - it's meant to SLIDE your finger across. All the brushed metal pieces in the center stack are meant to be finger rests to guide your finger.
Best Suv neverrrrr. Ive owned 2, bought new. Felt like a Queen in it. Got a lot of attention every where. Ppl move out your way EVERYTIME! LOOOOOOVE THIS TRUCK 😂
The gauge cluster has 3 distinct styles but each one has many variable styles in between the layout and the volume is more of a drag to change not just tap
hey just saying the volume control is slide, not tap. the tap is when you only want to change the volume by one. it confused me two when I first got my 16 platinum esv
aleks kuki - I don’t get it bud, she said the truck is getting a dated feel, and I said how is it dated and it’s only 3 years old, 3 years old is not dated.
aleks kuki - idk what she’s basing the dated opinion on, she did say the boxy body style, but there are many boxy bodies still, g63 is the key for box suvs, as far as huge suvs this Escalade is the same as Tahoe, suburban, Yukon, and navigator just changed up for 18, but remember the 07 Escalade went upto a 2014, so 7 years strong and they are still at dealers selling and only look dated due to its tech, but I don’t think this Escalade body style will be changed until maybe 2020 or 2021.
Adams Daily Drive yeah, that’s true.. the escalade is known for its shape and size, but it looks old compared to the new g63 or some range rovers or even the jeep grand cherokee, I don’t think she meant the box shape tho
This was the car that was having its roof come off (Consumer Reports), no? This looks more like a GMC inside than a luxury vehicle. Elana nailed my thoughts exactly. Outside it looks great, its the inside where I question what are you paying for. I mean shiney black plastic is so puke
that's why I bought one (Navigator) :-) some other person reviewed the Escalade and felt the column shifter was the most antiquated "thing" in it and did not make it feel luxury.
Phantim3dx true but I’ve heard the argument that many people enjoy the column shifter as it is because it makes them feel like it’s still a truck/gives more center console room.
I really do like Cadillac and I hate how much people talk crap about them,but I do agree that for the price point it should look way nicer on the inside, and it’s third row shouldn’t have that hump that makes your legs cramp up, so I hope they take in all these new reviews and their (new) competitors (Lincoln) and fix their interior
I like this reviewer. Good job. I would prefer if they kept The infotainment gripes in context. I have used CUE in my wife’s ATS (fantastic car by the way) and I find it good the same way I find the infotainment system in my Audi good. There are things I hate about it and things that I like. Also, like everything, familiarity brings things to light. That volume button she was complaining about? It’s actually a slider that makes it super easy to adjust volume via touchscreen while driving.
At 7:00 the reason some of the buttons aren’t working as fast is because especially the volume button you don’t push it, you slide it I just kind of think you should now kind of more about the car before you review it. I don’t really want to pick on you because you are the first woman car reviewer I’ve seen, but still.
If this generation Escalade hadn't been out so long I doubt most people would say the exterior looked dated. Way ahead of its time. The Navigator is a much newer design but the interior a 100 times better...lol
Agreed, no one said it best, the whole car looks and feels like everyone was busy doing something else at Cadillac... It's almost $100k...not that much nicer if at all than a Denali.
Um if you regularly carry around more than 5 people and don't like minivans then there's the VW Atlas, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Dodge Durango, Lexus RX 350 L, Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorrento, and probably some others I'm forgetting on top of the GM and Ford trucks. Plus, the Atlas, Durango, and Santa Fe I checked out all has much more room in the 3rd row than the Yukon and Suburbans I tried
I have a 2015 Escalade and I like it. However have had some recalls and replaced the air conditioner compressor 3 times, and replaced tires at 20,000 miles all covered under warranty.
I agree with her, the outside looks great and everything, the interior makes me wonder I didn't Cadillac made an extra effort to make it more luxurious, more fancy, more special... It tries to be very nice but it doesn't. Paying that much for that SUV... I honestly prefer the Navigator.
my gripe about this truck is the column shifter,no panoramic roof,and no independent rear suspension. the Navigator is slightly better than the Escalade due to the interior. the Escalade has the V8 which is the only reason why I'll take it over the Navigator
Everything you said about the escalde was so on point I do wish Cadillac put more "mmmf" into the interior design cause it's not the best 🤷🏾♀️ but as a owner of an escalde I can say this it's an amazing SUV being the fact my Escalade is 16 years old but when your on the high way coming in hot nobody sits and or tries to run you off the road nor tailgates you they admire that big hunk of a suv 😂🤣 and not to sound cocky or anything but you feel so much better than everyone 🤷🏾♀️ like any Escalade owner could some what agree. But since this truck was passed down to me I can for sure say you gotta ask yourself why😂🤣 cause it's a whole lot of truck. But tbh the Escalade oh it's an eye catcher and I wouldn't want to trade in ol girl even if I had to😋
“When you want to regularly carry around at least 5 people and don’t want a minivan, you don’t have a lot of choices.” Wow. I guess Elena never heard of the dozen or so 3 row Crossovers out there. LOL.
In my experience, the ride is smooth but the NVH is so poor that all the interior bits are constantly jiggly and squeaking, even from new. Interior fit and finish is 3rd rate. The 3rd row is a joke (as is true in all of these GM SUVs) because the solid rear axle requires the seat to sit on the floor, therefore your knees hit your chin- FAIL. It's fake luxury.
It is still a Truck. By the way, very well made. The consumer which looks for an Escalade knows what they are bringing home. To be honest, after Tesla none of those cars make sense anymore. However, I would consider buying a brand new Escalade without thinking twice. It still has the connotation of the American Luxury family car. It is big, strong and reliable.
Um no, the Lincoln Navigator was the first to make a new segment for full size luxury. However, Cadillac took it from Lincoln the year after and ran with it for multiple years. the 2018 Lincoln Navigator is changing all of that now.
Okay, first of all. She's hot. Good job Edmunds. Finally nice to see a babe for a change. 2nd, she doesn't review like the men, all they talk about driving mechanics, engineering and performance. She actually talks about real life points. Btw, great review. I love to the more of her and the Asian guy. Elana Scherr, welcome to your fan group.
After sitting in this vehicle a couple of days ago I was pretty disappointed. Built quality was not up to par (especially for 100,000) and the fact it doesn’t have IRS is laughable. The third row is cramped, the infotainment system is dated, and doesn’t even have LED turn signals.
isnt how the vehicle makes you feel the most important thing about buying a luxury car? most non luxury car upper trim levels are nice enough these days to start to rival the lower end luxury cars so if you dont feel special in a 100k car you should look for something else
If you're going to attempt the name of the interior color theme, you have to know it. Don't say, "It's a beautiful name. It's called Maple Burgundy, something like that." Food for thought. Otherwise, you did well.
Everyone here is saying the Navigator is better. What the fuck do you know? You drive a 98 Toyota Corolla thats being held together with duct tape and bungee cords. "Oh the ride in the Navigator is so much smoother and the engine is so much more responsive" Driven it have you? Either way i would take the Escalade because its a GM truck and well I've had enough experience with Fords to know they are unreliable piles of soon-to-be rust.
Land Rover invented the Luxury SUV, all Cadillac did was make the first "our lower tier brand's SUV is already great so lets call this better and sell it for more money"
The Escalade still outsells the newly redesigned Navigator, no man who can afford a 100k beast wants a wimpy v6, and thats coming for a limo guy that drives an escalade, you'll only see escalades at the airport
Lincoln went and put the Raptor Engine in it.. Its a V6 with a Turbo Charger.. Its NOT a V8 and when those Turbos go , and they will, its costly since they only break one mile on the other side of warranty. I can if i want put a Turbo on the 6.2 L V8 Escalade and pull 800 HP but 430HP is pretty solid. Never trade a big block V8 for a small V6 with Turbos,, the engine is a Fake News !
selection is not just yukon and suburban... there is Ford Expedition Max, and the outdated Toyota Sequoia... but Cadillac didn't create the Luxury SUV...
Nice looking suv but they are junk! We drove one for a rental it was terrible! Had a bad transmission it kept slipping, it would creak and squeak, the rear door would stick. Lots of other issues. It had low miles too. Nice looking car though but I will say the new navigator has a way better interior now. It has more hp with 450hp but that 6.2 sounds nice though.
Wow first review i see from you.....really nice and fun and carismatic, the japanese guy is soooooo booooooring and.......sorry Carlos Lago, but you lost you re mojo!!
My boss was stopped at stop sign. 5 ton truck sped by her taking off front end of escalade. I was behind her watching. She was very lucky. It never moved. 3 days later i am driving escalade. And maybe for rest of my life. Ps i do feel special driving it. Love love love it.

I have one, and I can say it is about the smoothest riding and best cars I have ever owned. Plus I put a exhaust on the v8 and the navigator can’t argue with the sound of a 6.2
The SuperChargers about time someone speaks facts
Is it thirsty?
I love my new 2018 Escalade Luxury in crystal white which i bought in January 2022. I had the 2008 Escalade sport Diamond white since new and it was good enough to last 14 years and counting. I probably would have kept my 2008 but it needed about 6-7k worth of body work and my wife didn’t want me to put that much into a truck that old.

V8 and Column Shifter!
Damn Elana is amazing! Agree with all her points. Fantastic job
I agree. I haven't found a woman car reviewer in a while if ever, and I really like her style and her reviews.
She used to be on Hotrod unlimited.
Ikr she did really good
I am a fan of Edmunds! I used to only watch the "other guys" but when Carlos left I did too... Elana Scherr is holding it down!!! Awesome work.
The Lincoln navigator is such a much better full size suv better chassis better interior and way better infotainment and the powertrain so smoothly with those twin turbo v6
Nothing better than a dinky V6 crying for help to move a giant SUV
SavagexRaccoon lol V6 on a fat ass SUV
the v6 is great for what they are quiet good fuel economy and low end torque no one ever revs out these trucks the escalade needs to update their truck to be quiet and smoother its suppose to be comfy and plush not a stiff rst drag car
Do you idiots realize that the Navigator's V6 turbo engine makes more power and torque than the Escalade's V8? Do some research or shut up. Some people...
Zero Cool My bad. I'm a GM guy but Ford really pulled it off with the Navigator
I work for Cadillac, and totally agree with her points. However! Don't pick on the poor volume control so much; she was trying to single-click to turn down the volume - it's meant to SLIDE your finger across. All the brushed metal pieces in the center stack are meant to be finger rests to guide your finger.
Cadillac Escalade is the best suv ever no questions asked ✋🏼
What about the Expedition?
Meowy Meowerton The new one is great but it's more upscale Navigator brother competes with the Escalade
Expedition is for hill billies lol
Elana was better than expected. Great work!
ur supposed to slide the volume button and not tap it lmao
Wow great review! Wish she hosted more of them! Her conversational tone is really easy to listen to.
Best Suv neverrrrr. Ive owned 2, bought new. Felt like a Queen in it. Got a lot of attention every where. Ppl move out your way EVERYTIME! LOOOOOOVE THIS TRUCK 😂
I hate where they put the gear selector
Its enough to watch at the gear shift knob and you are in love with this car
the button for the volume is slide function isn't it. slide the finger to left for lower volume an right for higher volume.
she is terrific! I love her.Great job Edmunds!!!
The gauge cluster has 3 distinct styles but each one has many variable styles in between the layout and the volume is more of a drag to change not just tap
hey just saying the volume control is slide, not tap. the tap is when you only want to change the volume by one. it confused me two when I first got my 16 platinum esv
I think this version is the best looking. Better than the new ones.
Great review, need to feature her more!
When will this get a redesign
8:04 I’m not so sure about the red brake calipers...
Ms.Elana is the best!!!
Outdated look? It’s 3 years old wtf lol
Adams Daily Drive I’m sorry but do you live in 2021? Its a 2018 version
aleks kuki - I don’t get it bud, she said the truck is getting a dated feel, and I said how is it dated and it’s only 3 years old, 3 years old is not dated.
Adams Daily Drive well it is dated because it looks old to some of its competitors? Because it has a column shifter? Thats probably why
aleks kuki - idk what she’s basing the dated opinion on, she did say the boxy body style, but there are many boxy bodies still, g63 is the key for box suvs, as far as huge suvs this Escalade is the same as Tahoe, suburban, Yukon, and navigator just changed up for 18, but remember the 07 Escalade went upto a 2014, so 7 years strong and they are still at dealers selling and only look dated due to its tech, but I don’t think this Escalade body style will be changed until maybe 2020 or 2021.
Adams Daily Drive yeah, that’s true.. the escalade is known for its shape and size, but it looks old compared to the new g63 or some range rovers or even the jeep grand cherokee, I don’t think she meant the box shape tho
Can’t wait for these to become worth a tenth of a the price in ten years!
This was the car that was having its roof come off (Consumer Reports), no? This looks more like a GMC inside than a luxury vehicle. Elana nailed my thoughts exactly. Outside it looks great, its the inside where I question what are you paying for. I mean shiney black plastic is so puke
Blake Swan I agree. Even though I’m not into these flashy full size SUVs I’d take the navi if I had to choose.
Blake Swan the interior of the Escalade is better than the GMC in my own opinion
that's why I bought one (Navigator) :-)
some other person reviewed the Escalade and felt the column shifter was the most antiquated "thing" in it and did not make it feel luxury.
Phantim3dx so an s-class or any rolls Royce doesn't feel luxurious because they still use a column shifter
Phantim3dx true but I’ve heard the argument that many people enjoy the column shifter as it is because it makes them feel like it’s still a truck/gives more center console room.
I really do like Cadillac and I hate how much people talk crap about them,but I do agree that for the price point it should look way nicer on the inside, and it’s third row shouldn’t have that hump that makes your legs cramp up, so I hope they take in all these new reviews and their (new) competitors (Lincoln) and fix their interior

How much y’all getting paid?
If this generation Escalade hadn't been out so long I doubt most people would say the exterior looked dated. Way ahead of its time. The Navigator is a much newer design but the interior a 100 times better...lol
Agreed, no one said it best, the whole car looks and feels like everyone was busy doing something else at Cadillac... It's almost $100k...not that much nicer if at all than a Denali.
Camilo Benzo So True
The Denali, Suburban, and Escalade are the exact same truck rebranded🤷🏽♂️ Why pay more for the crest?
Where is Carlos?
Um if you regularly carry around more than 5 people and don't like minivans then there's the VW Atlas, Honda Pilot, Toyota Highlander, Dodge Durango, Lexus RX 350 L, Chevy Traverse, Hyundai Santa Fe, Kia Sorrento, and probably some others I'm forgetting on top of the GM and Ford trucks. Plus, the Atlas, Durango, and Santa Fe I checked out all has much more room in the 3rd row than the Yukon and Suburbans I tried
But still great review!
domspar Those don’t compete with this size of a vehicle.
Infiniti QX80
Acadia
The RX-L is cramped, earn more money and get a GX460 or an LX570
Nice review congrats new lady! Looking forward for the next one!
It impresses rappers and drug dealers lol.
Yet they're prevalent in Dallas whitest, wealthiest neighborhoods...
that was early-mid 2000s anyway lol not anymore
Rappers and dealers don't really have good taste, they still driving H2...as in ghetto neighborhoods- 20 year old impalas with 26" wheels haha
Acc0rd79 you’re late bruh. Ain’t no plug making that much money. All my plugs drive normal, stock cars. Nissans, dodge avengers, and Hyundai’s.
Lol naw now rappers drive Bentley’s and rolls Royce’s . This is lame compared to their new shit . This is 2000s rappers
I have a 2015 Escalade and I like it. However have had some recalls and replaced the air conditioner compressor 3 times, and replaced tires at 20,000 miles all covered under warranty.
The new Ford Expedition Platinum & the new Lincoln Navigator have blown away all of their GM truck-based SUV competition
I agree with her, the outside looks great and everything, the interior makes me wonder I didn't Cadillac made an extra effort to make it more luxurious, more fancy, more special... It tries to be very nice but it doesn't. Paying that much for that SUV... I honestly prefer the Navigator.
Compared to the model before, it's night and day better.. But that's not saying much.
Nope navigator was the first
Christopher Deguzman True but in 02 they took over.
Wasn’t the Range Rover the first?
She really should not have even gone there. So many predecessors before the Escalade. Lincoln Navigator, Lexus LX450, Range Rover for starters.
lounge2fly2 Maybe she was referring to three row full size SUVs
JTL2017 maybe but the Discovery had three rows right? I think I remember seats that folded to the side...
I hear the 2020 version will have an independent rear suspension so perhaps everything about will get better...
You dont touch the vol control. You slide your finger over it to turn up or down.
my gripe about this truck is the column shifter,no panoramic roof,and no independent rear suspension. the Navigator is slightly better than the Escalade due to the interior. the Escalade has the V8 which is the only reason why I'll take it over the Navigator
As fast as muscle cars from 60 years ago!! Wow! So impressive! /s
Everything you said about the escalde was so on point I do wish Cadillac put more "mmmf" into the interior design cause it's not the best 🤷🏾♀️ but as a owner of an escalde I can say this it's an amazing SUV being the fact my Escalade is 16 years old but when your on the high way coming in hot nobody sits and or tries to run you off the road nor tailgates you they admire that big hunk of a suv 😂🤣 and not to sound cocky or anything but you feel so much better than everyone 🤷🏾♀️ like any Escalade owner could some what agree.

But tbh the Escalade oh it's an eye catcher and I wouldn't want to trade in ol girl even if I had to😋
Thus generation of the Escalade has been out since 2013 so it's due for a new generation
NileshR12 actually 2015
“When you want to regularly carry around at least 5 people and don’t want a minivan, you don’t have a lot of choices.”
Wow. I guess Elena never heard of the dozen or so 3 row Crossovers out there. LOL.
Great review
Lincoln is the queen of luxury American suvs right now it just tops Cadillac right now
This particular Cadilac Escalade is good at braking is because it has the six pistons Brembo front brake calipers.
In my experience, the ride is smooth but the NVH is so poor that all the interior bits are constantly jiggly and squeaking, even from new. Interior fit and finish is 3rd rate. The 3rd row is a joke (as is true in all of these GM SUVs) because the solid rear axle requires the seat to sit on the floor, therefore your knees hit your chin- FAIL. It's fake luxury.
It is still a Truck. By the way, very well made.
The consumer which looks for an Escalade knows what they are bringing home.
To be honest, after Tesla none of those cars make sense anymore. However, I would consider buying a brand new Escalade without thinking twice.
It still has the connotation of the American Luxury family car. It is big, strong and reliable.
Volvo? Model X? what about these as choices
Um no, the Lincoln Navigator was the first to make a new segment for full size luxury. However, Cadillac took it from Lincoln the year after and ran with it for multiple years.
the 2018 Lincoln Navigator is changing all of that now.
The Navigator has the better interior, but the Escalade just looks so much more boss. Plus the Escalade is coming to the end of its life cycle.
No specs?
She provided a quarter-mile acceleration number. If you're comparing performance specs in this class, you're shopping for the wrong thing.
alliejr He probably wanted more info, like more engine, cargo, towing capacity specs, etc.
Okay, first of all. She's hot. Good job Edmunds. Finally nice to see a babe for a change. 2nd, she doesn't review like the men, all they talk about driving mechanics, engineering and performance. She actually talks about real life points. Btw, great review. I love to the more of her and the Asian guy. Elana Scherr, welcome to your fan group.
weaponXsentinel1 you must have a very low standards lol
uhhh...comparing acceleration to m cars fr the 60s??
then also add that escalades r faster than horse drawn carriages from the 1800s
Muscle cars back in the 60's were very cabable performance wise
Faisal Aldosari are those cars from the 60s THE benchmark for today's performance cars?? no, in case youre confused
Of course not, but they were plenty powerful
If I bought the Escalade, I would think the whole time... Should've bought the Navigator😁
100k truck you can get for 40k or less 3 years later
Must say, she does the job well
Love the escalade
Best Uber Black ever.
I like it but so much issues it has been on a few list to avoid because of so many issues !
Uhh qx80?????
"Ooo, someone called a *fancy* Uber!"
Lincoln invented the luxury SUV first with the navigator.
After sitting in this vehicle a couple of days ago I was pretty disappointed. Built quality was not up to par (especially for 100,000) and the fact it doesn’t have IRS is laughable. The third row is cramped, the infotainment system is dated, and doesn’t even have LED turn signals.
The navigator invented the luxury SUV
isnt how the vehicle makes you feel the most important thing about buying a luxury car? most non luxury car upper trim levels are nice enough these days to start to rival the lower end luxury cars so if you dont feel special in a 100k car you should look for something else
When will people realize that the Navigator is a newer generation so of course would out perform the old generation Escalade.
This vehicle needs to be updated badly.
The Navigator was 1st. And that column shifter is so out dated
If you're going to attempt the name of the interior color theme, you have to know it. Don't say, "It's a beautiful name. It's called Maple Burgundy, something like that." Food for thought. Otherwise, you did well.
Ford Expedition?
Of course it does
the volume button wasnt meant to be touched it slideeeee
Nice vide
Good video! The Escalade is slacking. It's a limo car now. Rather get the new Lincoln
Everyone here is saying the Navigator is better. What the fuck do you know? You drive a 98 Toyota Corolla thats being held together with duct tape and bungee cords. "Oh the ride in the Navigator is so much smoother and the engine is so much more responsive" Driven it have you? Either way i would take the Escalade because its a GM truck and well I've had enough experience with Fords to know they are unreliable piles of soon-to-be rust.
Land Rover invented the Luxury SUV, all Cadillac did was make the first "our lower tier brand's SUV is already great so lets call this better and sell it for more money"
The Escalade still outsells the newly redesigned Navigator, no man who can afford a 100k beast wants a wimpy v6, and thats coming for a limo guy that drives an escalade, you'll only see escalades at the airport
u are wonderfull ok explaining thanks
The interior is like a opel, hyundai and lexus mashup with daewoo materials lol.
Not me
Lincoln went and put the Raptor Engine in it.. Its a V6 with a Turbo Charger.. Its NOT a V8 and when those Turbos go , and they will, its costly since they only break one mile on the other side of warranty. I can if i want put a Turbo on the 6.2 L V8 Escalade and pull 800 HP but 430HP is pretty solid. Never trade a big block V8 for a small V6 with Turbos,, the engine is a Fake News !
Navigator is much nicer inside and outside
selection is not just yukon and suburban... there is Ford Expedition Max, and the outdated Toyota Sequoia... but Cadillac didn't create the Luxury SUV...
3:30 my dad has a CTS V
Love mine
Nice looking suv but they are junk! We drove one for a rental it was terrible! Had a bad transmission it kept slipping, it would creak and squeak, the rear door would stick. Lots of other issues. It had low miles too. Nice looking car though but I will say the new navigator has a way better interior now. It has more hp with 450hp but that 6.2 sounds nice though.
Escalade: transporting drug dealers, privileged rich kids, nightclub owners, Street Corner ballers and cartel drug lords in style since forever
So she basically said every part of that truck basically sucks and could be better
Wow first review i see from you.....really nice and fun and carismatic, the japanese guy is soooooo booooooring and.......sorry Carlos Lago, but you lost you re mojo!!
lol im that kid on the back
upgrade to 4k cameras
The new Infiniti QX80 and Lincoln Navigator shit on this vehicle.
