    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    I test drove some '16 model CPO cars at my local dealer, both black ESV's, one a luxury and one a platinum. The Luxury had 30k miles and stickered for 65k, the platinum I believe was right around 70k with similar milage. I didn't notice the vibration till I hit the highway. It started at ~45...

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    If you look closely, it’s not as “blingy” as you may think. All the trim is a brushes or satin silver, not chrome. My 2010 has chrome everywhere, the only chrome on my 17 is around the windows and the spikes on the wheels (which Yukon’s and Tahoe’s all have too!!!) The grill is silver also, and...

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    I have not heard of anyone adding it. I will say that a premium is better than a luxury as far as the few features you will get (power running boards, lighted door handles, and intelligent cruise control vs standard cruise control). BUT the biggest complaint I hear about the big gm suv platforms...

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    It’s a luxury esv. So it has all the features that you would like (nav, heated/Cooled seats, 360 cam, rear view cam, lane assist, blind spot monitoring, collision warning etc). The premium model adds light up door handles, power running boards, and intelligent cruise control. Platinum gives...

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    You should get one! I love my 2017 ESV and depending on where you looking, one may be more affordable than you think. https://www.texasdirectauto.com/for-sale/Cadillac-Escalade-ESV/vehicle/1GYS3HKJ3HR218892

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    In 2010, I chose the Escalade over a tahoe, mostly b/c of the HID's, LED's, and better looking interior. The gauges was a VERY big factor, b/c when I went for a drive in the tahoe, it reminded me of a 90's honda with the green backlight. I bought a 2017 Escalade recent, after being impressed...

    Tire recommendations please

    Mine came with bridgestone dueller Alenza, and they ride well and are quiet. So I plan to keep that since it's the oem tire. But many people on the escalade forums recommend the michelin defender ltx's

    “California Black Out” for Escalade

    I've seen a few blacked out Escalades at the airport and around the city. I'm pretty sure either the dealer offered this to them as an option (kinda like how the escalade premium sports where blacked out in 2013-14). Or they did it themselves. Personally I didn't like it though, the HUGE grill...

    Ceramic coat, tires, vinyl wrap.

    I’m picking my escalade up from the body shop tomorrow. I might try to ceramic coat it myself since I’ll have a fresh paint job

    2019s

    I’ve seen a few new model navigators around here. The one in my neighborhood has a broken passenger side Day time running light (led). I never told him

    Luxury Package worth it?

    I would say the passive entry, and push button start alone would make it worth while to me. I wasn't even aware these cars were available without a power lift gate, but that feature also makes it worth it.

    Luxury Package worth it?

    On escalades they aren't even an option!

    Suburban/Tahoe/Yukon OEM Kicker 200w Powered Subwoofer Kit

    The box is in my garage with amp but I still own my 2010 and can mock it up for you So here's how the jl 500/1 fit under the seat, I believe I had to remove the padding underneath for clearance issues, and fished the wires to the back side, while cutting slits in the carpet fit the wires. When...

    Need new Wheels for 15 Tahoe LT- 22" or 24" Is 24" worth it?

    BTW, I'm hoping to find some 24's that weigh close to my factory 22's. B/c though the 22's look decent, 24's look better.... I replaced my water heater a couple months ago, but had my two cars on the street so I can accept delivery of the new heater in the driveway. So don't mind the heater in...

    Need new Wheels for 15 Tahoe LT- 22" or 24" Is 24" worth it?

    I have 24 replicas on my 2010 escalade and it took a huge hit on gas mileage. And I have gone through many tires and at least 3 rims (bent from hitting large potholes or curbs). My 2017 has 22’s and rides smooth, I get 17mpg avg on this car compared to the 13 I was getting on the other. I...

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    Personally the dash of the Escalade is nicer then the tahoe/yukon counterparts. I think the Yukon is very attractive on the outside, more so then the tahoe. But the center stack really cheapens the look of the tahoe/yukon.

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    Drive them before you negotiate. That way you can weed out the ones with the vibrations and only deal with the dealership with solid cars.

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    For the Escalades. My 2017 adds a rear view mirror camera, and my bumpers have more sensors on it than the 2016’s. I think they all have the 360 camera though. From my understanding, either in 16 or 17 they reprogrammed the lane keep assist so it wouldn’t beep/vibrate as often I have a 17 ESV...

    2017 XL Denali vs 2016 ESV Premium vs 2016 ESV Platinum

    Platinum all the way! Suede headliner, massaging seats, cooled cup holder, refrigerated center console, higher grade leather, and 4 TV’s. Those are the features that separate it from the premium, which both come with power side steps and lighted door handles. The Denali will be equivalent to...

    Rear seat removed. Loss keyless entry.

    I wonder how large the trunk will look without the seats in my esv? It’s already pretty large and I only have 1 kid

    Tire Reviews Thread for 22'' Wheel

    I have a 2017 escalade esv with the Bridgestone Alenza in 285/45/22. They are quiet for me, mine balanced well, smoothish on the highway (kinda hard not to notice bumps when you ride on 22’s) and they wear well. I haven’t broken them loose yet and I corner aggressively. I’m happy enough with...

    24 Inch OE Style Black Rims and Fender Flares

    Did your gas mileage change with the new wheels? I have an older escalade with oem replica 24’s and has mileage took a big hit, and contemplating it on my new escalade, but not if it’s as huge of a hit as my old one. Old one was getting 12mpg with premium, new one is getting 17.5mpg

    Plastidip rims and grill - black out

    I personally do not like the matte finish either on a glossy 70k dollar SUV. Gloss black wheels and gloss black wheels would go nicely. Also removing or painting the door trim. It looks out of place being chrome, yet having silver/black wheels.
