First Production Diesel(Escalade) Video!

[Z71orAT4]

I have a Yukon Denali Diesel on order and pretty excited to see at least one pilot production model off the line!

I'm soooo curious to read some car mag tests of the diesel option -- it's a really interesting choice

They won't be rocket ships but will get great mileage is my guess.

First of all, WOW! What an awesome vehicle!
Second, as the guy who is going to buy this truck from you "rich" people 7-10 years from now, all these electronics scare the bejeesus out of me. Everything in this video looked like big dollar signs when they inevitability fail. The original autolevel shocks on my 2001 Yukon XL only lasted a decade, these look 10x fancier and way more expensive. Literally everything on here is electronic or motorized except for the fuel door. I guess I have a bias towards simpler, mechanical stuff I can actually work on. Also not sure I'm comfortable thinking about a rollover with a roof that's pretty much all glass.
See how easily I talked myself into enjoying what I have? Just saved $100K!

The numbers were just released! About 24 mpg combined depending on 4WD or 2WD 21 city, 28 hwy and 24 combined. Most people with the Silverado and 3.0 have achieved higher numbers.

The Escalade looks like it adopted BMW's shifter and media selector. I miss that selector from my 328d. It was nice to be driving and have that in my hand as I was switching the radio or sending messages with CarPlay.

You sound just like me. I have a 2001 Yukon XL and rented a 2022 Suburban in October. All I did was assess just like you did. You can keep the plastic electronic piece of 120,000 vehicles. I love my 'baby.'
