OK, I am getting it narrowed down to either the Expedition Platinum(maybe Max) and the Yukon Denali(maybe XL). I will wait to see what the 2022s of each look like, which will be available for order later this summer.
I've owned quite a few GM vehicles in my lifetime, but looking back I realized the latest one was a 1999 Suburban 4x4. Based on that experience and what I have kept hearing about GM since 1999, General Motors is at the very bottom of the heap. I've been having WAAAAAY better luck with Fords since the early 90s.
I got really pissed at Ford over Motorcraft warranties back about eight months ago and swore there'd never be another Ford in my garage. When it came time to fish or cut bait, I went shopping for another F150 as "my last vehicle"...we'll see about that. I just could not bring myself to even look at Dodge (okay, RAM for you sticklers) or GM. Toyota might have been an option, but for various reasons I stuck with Ford and put a 2015 5.0 Lariat 4x4 with 55,000 miles in the garage (never bought a brand new car in my life, just doesn't make sense to me). I'm lovin it, too.
If I WAS in the market for an SUV, my past experiences with GM vehicles would prevent me from even considering looking at an Escalade.
Don't be the darkness.
America will perish while those who should be standing guard are satisfying their lusts.
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

Just traveled to a track meet with a friend and he has a 2018 Escalade. Nice truck for highway trips, at least from the passenger seat. Quiet and smooth. Don't know about MPG but it has plenty of power. Comfortable seats. About 5 hours in the truck just last week.
No one should drive one unless they are a multi millionaire. Read the book millionaire next door. Got a buddy who is lucky to pull down 90k a year but has assets nearly a million and multiple times the wealth of his friends making 250k or more per year.
I read an article that GM makes the closest to sales price on them than other models. It reminds me of my son. Get a little money in his pocket and he blows it. The type of people that buy them are the worst at negotiating.
Buy an asset that generates enough to make the payment. Watch the video. Between that and what I said I just taught y’all something more valuable than what you learn in 4 years of college.

a net worth of a million dollars isn't really that impressive anymore. Do agree with buying a lightly used vehicle. Well Cadillacs are well known for their electrical problems like Mercedes and BMW's. Look at their resale value and depreciation after 4 to 5 years
