No experience with the new Escalade/Yukon/Burb. Had a 2003 Yukon XL, and I liked the size of that config but it had numerous problems. Nothing too serious, except the transfer case ate a hole in it's side. Not uncommon, and the new models are supposed to be more reliable.

If I was looking for that type of car today, I'd look at a Sequoia but it's getting long in the tooth for the asking price and probably won't meet your expectations for luxury. Cruiser would be awesome, but it seems like you want a fullsize.

Whatever you get, I'd look into any potential accessories that you may want down the road before you buy. Steel bumpers, sliders, lift, etc. Or be prepared to fabricate as needed. Seems like availability can be mixed for the big SUVs.
