Escalade Sport Platinum lower than other trims?

[xycrazy]

I love the Sport trim but what I often see is that the Sport is lower than the Premium Luxury. Always wondered why. Today, I saw 2 Sport trims (one was the sport platinum) next to each other and the platinum one was significantly lower than the regular sport version.

I assume this is because of the suspension but I wonder if the lower platinum can come up to the same height as the Premium Luxury / regular Sport. Is there an option to get the platinum to the same height as the other ones??

I added pictures so that you can see what I mean. The black one is the lower Platinum.

Probably hard to tell on the pictures but the difference in height is really big!

You are right it is hard to tell in pics but maybe wheel size is different? If wheels are same diameter than it’s probably suspension and there is a difference between 4WD and 2WD in ride height for that.

I was on road yesterday and saw an Escalade with the hot rod version ESV (not sure of acronym) but it looked awesome!

both are 4WD. Difference is significant. Close to 2+ inches. Platinum has the air ride suspension the other one the magnetic ride

The air ride may activate when the vehicle is started to make up the difference. Did you get to start it?

I haven’t yet but I’m going to test drive it.

That said, I found this and it sounds like this is what I figured to be an issue unless it is a function of the air ride to lower the Escalade in park mode:

Air Suspension Low with Communication DTC Codes Set

Some 2021-2023 Tahoe, Suburban, Yukon and Escalade models equipped with the air leveling suspension (RPO F47) may have a low or leaning suspension or the air leveling function may be inoperative.
A Service Leveling System message also may be displayed on the Driver Information Center.

When checking for DTCs, several DTCs may be set in the Air Leveling Control Module. There also may be DTCs set that do not seem relevant to the air leveling suspension, such as U0222 (Lost Communication with Front Side Door Window Regulator Motor – Driver), U0223 (Lost Communication with Front Side Door Window Regulator Motor – Passenger), U0224 (Lost Communication with Front Side Door Window Regulator Motor – Passenger) or U0225 (Lost Communication with Rear Side Door Window Regulator Motor – Right).

In addition, when using GDS2 to perform the Short Term Inflate function, the function may not work, but the GDS2 screens indicate that it is.

These conditions may be the result of a loss of communication with a power window motor or a door ajar issue. In some cases, these conditions are more typically found on up fitted vehicles.
Check for any loss of communication concerns or door ajar DTCs.

For proper operation of the air leveling suspension, the door ajar status must show the doors are closed. Each door ajar switch is hard-wired to its door window motor.
When there is a DTC set for a loss of communication with a door window motor, the door ajar status (open/closed) will not be reliable and the GDS2 door ajar parameter will default to closed, even though the actual door ajar status is unknown due to the communication issue.

When monitoring the door ajar data, open and close each door to ensure the door position matches the GDS2 parameters.
After any repairs associated with the door ajar DTCs or a loss of communication with a door window motor, reevaluate the air suspension operation.
