I am thinking about ordering the Escalade. For the last 10 years I have been driving a 4x4 F-150 and before that it was a 250 with the V-10 engine. I am pretty much out of the horse business so pulling a goose-neck is no longer a consideration.
I find myself wanting luxury and creature comforts so have thought about several options. ie the Escalade, fully loaded, the Lincoln Navigator or an Expedition Platinum. 4x4 is a must and I would usually be traveling by myself w/ one dog, sometimes another person but rarely. I need enough room for some canvas tentage and camping and fishing/hunting gear but that would not take up that much space.

Am in the research stage right now and would be grateful if anyone here had any experience with a later model Escalade.
Thanks

I am no expert on cars, however, for several years I drove limo for a local businessman and drove a Caddy Escalade for another local businessman part-time. The Caddy was always having issues, electrical, engine, etc. I got on some forums and started carrying extra relays, fuses, etc for the rigs I drove, and I do not remember all the specifics. The Caddy was mostly driven by the owner's wife(she was a smokin hot party animal). Momma got rid of the caddy and went back to the Ford Expedition.

I think that would depend if you are a pimp or not!

Save some money and get a fully loaded Yukon Denali or Tahoe instead. They will be just as luxurious and cheaper to maintain (Cadillac dealers charge more for service and parts because, they can).

You pay a lot for the Cadillac badge. It is only a status symbol.

My wife has a fully loaded Tahoe Premier. It’s pretty darn nice.

Thanks for the info. all.

This. I had two and then went to the Yukon, driving them since. Very happy with the Yukon.

I’ve actually got one of these too, a restored “79”. Luxury isn’t quite the term I’d use for that one.

For quite a few years the Escalade ranked as the most stolen vehicle in America. It's also common for parts to be stolen from it.

It's been bumped down from #1 in recent years but I'd still watch where I parked one and keep it garaged when at home.

So, anyway it's got that going for it.

That is because it is the most popular vehicle in the "hood".

Just put a gold crown on the dash and nobody will touch it, thinking it is a gansta drug dealer.

Of those you mention, IIRC, the Lincoln ranked higher than the others via Car and Driver (long term subscriber). I would search for their tests (long term included) on all three for a pretty straight review.

This right here ^^^. In my neck of the woods I'd guess about 80% or more of the Escalades are driven by a certain racial population.

I dont know of a single cracker in my neck of the woods that drives one. Only "democrats" do. Funny, see a line of Escalades parked at one the local churches every time they do energy assistance program for folks gas and power bills. Can afford a escalade but not a 30 a month natural gas payment. They love a navigator too.
